I had exactly the same problem. I installed the dongle driver from the HASP website as suggested by Katie. It works fine now but this seems like a huge oversight - shouldn't the driver be automatically installed or updated accordingly? Or if not then at least instructions on where to get it when the program opens; instead of me having to search the forums for a similar problem (because the driver can't be found by searching their website).
I am new to VectorWorks and I am hoping I am not going to continue to find inconvenient oversights such as this one with the rest of the program.
