Windows 8.1 can't install flexID driver - FIXED

RobTgul

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 

 

Rob,

    Since Windows Vista, drivers for "any" USB device are automatically installed from Windows Update when the USB device is plugged in with the machine connected to the Internet. There was a specific release of the Cadence License Manager installer for Windows 8 and Server 2012 since the .NET Framework version changed to 4.5 only as an installed default and previous license manager installers would not complete correctly - this would not have affected the dongle driver installation unless the machine was not connected to the Internet when the USB dongle was attached.
