Not sure if this would help.

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_drivers.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.
