I have not tested this personally, but I thought it worked with Win8.1 RDP as well (which is available as a separate download for Win7 and Win8). Have you tried that?

For this to work does a user absolutely, positively _have_ to be logged on using an Enhanced Session Mode VM connection? I need to have a piece of software connect to a USB licensing dongle, and it would be, shall we say, less than optimal to have to have user logged in 24/7 and an appropriate VM connection window open. I've got to be missing something, right? If not, MS's solution is useful for one-off stuff, but not for anything where a USB device needs to be connected all the time. I have used USB over network solutions with good success before, so we can certainly go that route. I was just hoping we wouldn't have to.
