AC10 - USB license key not recognized in virtual machine

Anonymous — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 13:42:00 GMT

Environment
----------------
Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.5
Parallels 10.2.1 (most recent patch level)

Windows XP SP3 virtual machine

Graphisoft ArchiCAD v10
WIBU USB key Wibu-BOX/U

WIBU Drivers apparently installed in XP
--------------------------------------------
WKDOS.EXE v3.00
WIBUKEY.SYS v5.00
WIBUKEY2.SYS v4.10c
WKWIN32.DLL v5.00a
WKEXT32.DLL v5.00

I installed ArchiCAD 10 in my XP Virtual Machine running under OS X (first time I'm using AC in 7 years - I used to use it on a dedicated HP WinXP laptop).

When I plug the USB key into a USB port, neither the XP instance or the Mac recognize that the USB key is there.

I think the WIBU driver is correctly installed in XP, but I'm not 100% sure.

Any hints on any Parallels/other configuration settings I can try to get the USB key recognized are appreciated.

Thank you.

Beginner:

There is a version of ArchiCAD 10 that will run under OSX10.9 on the Mac. This might be easier (and faster) than running it through Parallels. You might contact your reseller or Graphisoft support to get a copy, I could not find it on the Graphisoft web site.
