Hi list, I'm working on a Windows project that needs hardware protection. Our choice was to use Wibu's Codemeter, which has an efficient SDK and flexible tools.
As I'm a Linux user, I wanted to remove the need for reboots in order to build and test the program. Visual Studio 2003 runs flawlessly on the XP guest and shows no performance issues (of course, it's slower than on a physical machine). Having different guests is of course a good thing to test the builds on clean systems. I then tried to make the USB dongle recognized by the VM and the guest. After the common Linux/Ubuntu/VirtualBox issues (create a filter for the dongle, create the usbfs group, a bit of chmod etc) it showed up in the guest as an USB disk. That behaviour was normal so far. Anyway, the Codemeter service that accesses the key seemed not to recognize the dongle. The log shows a large number of "device state changed" which normally occur when the dongle is removed or inserted. I suspect that Codemeter wrote code to ensure there was no USB "sniffer" (or similar) running. I asked them for support, but if you see anything that would prevent the use of such a dongle in VB, please don't hesitate to add your input!
