Vectorworks 11 dongle not found

[pwb2103]

Hi, I just got a new intel core2 duo iMac (OS 10.4.9) and I'm trying to use my copy of vectorworks 11 on it. However, when I start up with the dongle connected I still get an error message saying "dongle not found". I called tech support and was told that I should make sure I had installed the HASP HL drivers and not the HASP 4 drivers. After thanking the support rep and looking at the aladdin support pages for HASP HL

http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/enduser.asp

and HASP 4

http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/hasp4/enduser.asp

I found that they both provide the same installer for Mac OSX. Shouldn't tech support have already known this? To be sure I tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling with each of the different type of drivers to no success. I was considering buying the newest version of Vectorworks so I could take advantage of my intel processor, but if I'm discouraged if I can't even get the version I have to work.

Please contact Tech Support as a follow-up and explain to them what happened.

They can further discuss the issue with you.

Well, I talked to a different support rep this time who told me that vectorworks 11 doesn't work at all on intel macs. So I guess that mystery is solved. I wish I had been told that the first time. I guess you can't win them all though.

Oops, thanks Katie, I guess that should have been the obvious thing to do but I feared that I must be reeaaaaally not on top of things if I couldn't even install a driver as instructed. I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly though, your dedication to this forum is commendable.

In case anyone comes across this thread with the same question I had, I want to point out the other thread I opened:

http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=81417&page=0#Post81417

where people are telling me that they are running VW11 on intel macs. I don't know why the support rep told me it won't work. I'll post again if I ever figure out the problem
