Hi there,
I had joined an existing thread but I think perhaps a new one might be necessary.
My problems began after I loaded the first of my new instrument libraries on. Having had VI working pretty smoothly, I suddenly found that, having updated to all the latest specs and releases it wouldn't run. Not in stand alone, and not in Logic as an AU. I keep getting error messages and being told to connect my dongle to a different usb port. I don't have that many, but those I use are powered. The one it's in the front of the tower (G5 2.5 ghz Dual) and I'm running out of configuratiosn and variations on where to put the silly thing. (Sorry, I realise that it's an excellent way for you to protect the software, but it's just that it's more than a little frustrating as it always seems to be the dongle/usb that is the problem).
Now that I've loaded all but one of my licesnses onto my dongle I thought that this would solve the problem. Alas, too much heady thinking and fresh air. Most recently (and for about the 12th time) I sat around for 3mins 30 secs patiently waiting for the standalone to appear only to be met by a message saying that some error occured with the WWd II's English Horn and that it couldn't complete (or words to that effect) before telling me I had to put the Dongle in a different port.
Is it perhaps that I had, and still have, a problem with my download for the WWd II? As I was explaining on a different thread: I was trying to download my WWd II licenses through the wizard when it stopped following an error message about something else trying to access the protection device. This was confusing as all I had done is launched Firefox (something I would suggest you don't do as you try and complete a download - it appears to play havock with the dongles. I'm beginning to note that when Firefox has been started, my VI doesn't work, but have yet to confirm this for certain.). [Probably nothing connected as VI has failed to launch following several new startups and clean, first attempt start straight for VI.]
I restarted the LCC as per instructed and began the process again only to be told that I had a 'transfer pending' license and in order to continue I had to have the other protection device connected to complete the process - I only have one and I was downloading not transfering. It wants me to select a target device, and the only one I have it won't let me select.
I have redone all the files in VI manager, restarted countless times, and all to no avail. The only thing I don't think I've done correctly is putting in a Vienna Intruments Custom Data file on the internal HD - where would it live if not in with the samples on my external HD? I'm going to remove the applications and re-install them, and if that doesn't work, I may quietly cry myself to sleep with a nice glass of wine. Please help - I feel the quagmire slowly folding in over me!
Huge thank you in advance....
