Here is the answer I got from WIBU regarding the incompatibility between
their USB dongles and VB.

"
we never tested Innitek's VirtualBox but we're often using VmWare for
testing purposes with CodeMeter and WibuKey.  [...]

I guess that the error might be a timeout problem. [...]  Maybe
VirtualBox doesn't pass the communication on the USB-port in time or
maybe influences the communication somehow which leads to error 

Another reason is that VirtualBox differs from VmWare while client and
server system may share one device, that doesn't happen with VmWare,
where the host system has to pass the complete device to the guest
system. This may lead to problems which may result in that error, too.
So I guess CodeMeter can't be used with VirtualBox.
"

The last paragraph is a bit confusing. Doesn't VB pass the complete USB
device control to the guest?

Anyway I'll try with other hosts (Win instead of Linux) to see if the
so-called timeout error still occurs.

Cheers,

Richard.
