Windows 8.1 can't install flexID driver - FIXED

Hi there, 

 

I hope you can help. I have installed the windows 8 licence manager, this seems to install ok. However at the end of the install a pop up window appears which says the FLEXID 9 Drivers need to be installed. I run the app and install the drivers, restart the computer as prompted but they still haven't installed. 

I can see the HASP HL 3.25 in my device manager, this also states that there is no driver installed. 

 This is for ORCAD 16.6, which ran ok on straight windows 8 before a format and upgrade to windows 8.1. Its driving me mad. 

 

Thanks in advance

  •  Possible fix, I haven't fully tested this yet but hope it helps others once I have fully installed orcad. 

     Go to this site:

     Download and install:

    Sentinel® HASP® Device Driver for Windows 8.1

     

    Now my licence server runs with no errors. On to the rest of the installation. I can't help but feel that Cadence could do a much better job with the licencing that the 3rd party HASP dongle.
