I had a conversation with a Softimage demo artist long time ago. Base sentence was, if you have the dongle and have the appropriate license...use whatever you need to make it work... Because dongles often didn't work and suck most of the times.

Hi I know i am a bit behind on my softimage license, v7.0.1, and from today i even cant upgrade it anymore... well havnt been able to for a long time :-( My more pressing problem though is i want to keep using this fine version, but im moving to a new workstation running windows 8.1, and im having trouble to get my USB ibutton dongle to be seen by the license manager. I have installed the 64bit drivers from here: http://www.maximintegrated.com/products/ibutton/software/tmex/download_drive rs.cfm but the license manager just wont see the dongle. I can see on my former workstation that it is also a totally different USB device driver that is installed on that, so maybe it is just the wrong driver i have installed. so... Does any of you here on the list have the driver that was supplied by Avid for the dongle, i just cant find it in between all my softimage installer files. ...or is there some issues with softimage v7 and windows 8? I really dont hope i have to give up this nice software just now, although i only have an aging version, it is still nicer and more fun to use than most other 3d apps. Robert
