This has been driving us nuts. We have a network license for about 10 seats for Vectorworks. We have a USB dongle on a server running the license manager. This has worked fine for quite awhile.
Upon upgrading to 12.5, VW now will not launch and cannot find the dongle. Those who did not upgrade can still launch VW 12.0.1 and 11.5.X. The 12.5 does not even attempt to contact the license server. (snoop on ethernet and no connection attempt).
We have deleted preferences, reloaded the nethasp.ini file, installed the latest dongle network server, rebooted the server, moved the nethasp.ini file from the application folder, to /etc, moved it to /Users/name and nothing works.
This is an OS X based system (10.4) for both the license server and for the clients. There are a few windows clients but they have not upgraded and are a bit hesitant since the silly updater removes the 12.0.1 version.
Has ANYTHING changed in the format of the nethasp.ini file for the client?
Where should the nethasp.ini file reside.
It seems that the client VW 12.5 is not able to find the ini file the same way that VW 12.0.1 did.
