I’m trying to get a WIBU-BOX/U USB dongle to work with the AnyWhereUSB device.
Config Utility finds it, but the Viewer indicates a exclamation point on a yellow background in front of the device. Can’t find any documentation on what this indication means.
I’m running on a VMWare’d Windows W2k3 Std (with usbd.sys installed).
The WIBU-BOX/U works fine on a standard PC (tested both W2k and XP) via the standard USB ports. I get the same indication via AnyWhereUSB though.
Other “ordinary” USB-devices work fine via AnyWhereUSB, both in VMWare and on standard PCs.
There is a known compatibility issue with at least some of these WIBU USB keys.
Our Engineering group is working with WIBU on trying to get their latest driver to work with the AnywhereUSB. The older WIBU v5.10 driver, however, seems to resolve this issue. You can download it here: http://www2.wibu.de/share/WkRuntime5.10.exe
This perticular WIBU-BOX/U is for the FESTO FluidSIM 4-P Application and is marked 00014016, 698529/2208, in case your Engineering Group could use the reference.
And thank you for the prompt feedback. I’ll let you know if/when WIBU resolves this issue in their latest driver. Please update your e-mail address in your profile so I can contact you that way.
Yes, I have completely removed the 5.2 drivers that came with my V-ray setup and rebooted. Then I installed the 5.1 drivers. The WIBU-BOX/U (Form-Z) key I have now works but the WIBU-BOX/RU (V-Ray) still doesn’t seem to work.
When you say “doesn’t seem to work”, what exactly is the issue? The way I understand it, it’s the same issue others were having with certain WIBU keys where the key can’t install, so it ends up being listed in Device Manager (and the AnywhereUSB Viewer Utility) with a warning icon. Is that accurate or is the issue something else?
Not that we’re aware. The only known issue related to (apparently only certain) WIBU dongles is the one that the v5.10 WIBU driver resolves.
In order for us to look into this further, our engineering group would need a WIBU-BOX/RU (V-Ray) dongle that’s exhibited this issue. Would you be able to provide one to us?
Even hidden from me, hmm. I guess I need to talk to someone to give my account the rights to see it. In the meantime, just send an e-mail to me. It’s jmcbane_at_digi dot com, phrased that way so spam bots don’t find me.
Do you know if this was ever resolved? We are moving our V-Ray Wibu-key to a 2003 64-bit guest in VMWare ESX. We’re experiencing an seemingly identical problem to what HL posted back last year.
I don’t think so. Most likely, WIBU would have to make a change on their end (their driver). Is the workaround working for you, using the older v5.10 WIBU driver?
