Dongle Driver Problems

Dongle Driver Problems

Developers are sick of reading and answering the same questions every day in emails or on forums. Normally they was getting over 10 emails a day asking the same questions that were covered in the forums.

Almost all software vendors that are using dongles have to create a page on website about troubling shooting of dongle problems, actually 90% or the dongle problems are caused by dongle driver.

Customers are just tired of seeing the same thing over and over...

Returned Dongle errors

 Dongle not found
 Can't Find the Dongle
 Dongle driver is not installed
 Dongle driver error
 Cannot open dongle driver
 USB device driver not installed
 LICENSE KEY ERROR

The problems caused by dongle
 When you attach the USB dongle, if the light inside the dongle goes on and then turnes off immediately In that case, you have to download the latest dongle drivers from the related website. As the dongle driver is old and not compatible with the current window version. Installing the latest dongle driver has already resolved USB dongle problems on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
 If the dongle driver did not install correctly during the system installation, you need to update or re-install the dongle driver Version:
The below message is given whenever the applications simply cannot find a dongle - whether it be a standalone or network device. Generally when this message occurs, users need to check a number of things:

• Check if the users have installed the drivers correctly.
• Try installing the drivers manually
 The inconsistence of the dongle driver version and the software version may cause problem as well.
 The conflict between the dongle and certain recent versions of the McAfee and AVG virus scanners also occurs dongle driver problem.
 Occasionally, USB dongles are not being recognized in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
 In rare cases, software fails to install the driver and new users need to run the dongle driver again.
 USB dongle devices are detected when they are first plugged in, but sometimes Windows will mark a device as bad if it cannot find the right drivers for it.
 Installation seems to hang while installing dongle drivers under certain circumstances - though it hasn't actually hung - it just takes several minutes to complete. Tt's unfortunately the drivers cause the delay and but not the software.
 Software vendors normally recommend to install the driver before connecting USB keys. If, however, uses have connected the USB key first, they may encounter problems with the dongle driver installation.
 An incorrectly installed dongle driver can produce license error messages. The dongle driver is a piece of software that communicates between IDL/ENVI and the hardware key attached to USB port. If an IDL-based product produces a dongle licensing error message, the dongle driver may need to be re-installed or updated."
