We're running VW11 updated to 11.5 and have the dongle connected to the network. I am setting up a new lab of Intel Macs, installed the software as the local admin on the machine using the serial number and once installed I can run the software and it finds the dongle. No problems there.
The problem is, our students are logging into the network on these machines and if a student tries to launch the program, a message appears that says "You haven't added any serial numbers yet" and then asks me to add it in. We can't be giving out our serial number to students. I tried inputting the serial number using a test network account to see if that entry would apply to all network users logging in but that does not work.
I thought the purpose of the dongle was to allow the purchased number of copies to run hassle free. This is very frustrating. I don't want to be giving out the serial number to every kid that wants to use the program.

Is there any way around this?
