Yes they made sure I understood that when I talked with them earlier. Which is fine for me I have 3-5 dongles I could consolidate to a single guest os for licensing. More than that and you start running in to conflicts if different dongles need different versions of the same Rainbow app or something. They do have a Ethernet attached serial unit that also has one parallel port.

They said they would have a product that would work for us in about a year though. We wanted to be able to switch from machine to machine for test and production, but the darned thing will only support one virtual machine at a time, though you can switch the machines by software, it still had to be switched manually. One dongle, one virtual machine. We needed to have a multiple license dongle plug into a single port and support multiple machines.

Still have some of those in use for licensing also. ________________________________ From: Garcia-Moran, Carlos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 7:54 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Anywhere USB I don't use the USB product but I have the Serial over IP one and it rocks, Over the past month We've virtualized a bunch of servers and modems with this and it worked pretty well, It's based on the same real port tech as the USB one so I'd be pretty confident with it. We tried a couple of other companies and their products weren't great. We also have 2 Serial auth tokens connected to it and it works well.
