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

     I can't see anything specific to my issue in your reply. This was not a licence manager issue as it turned out I believe it was a dongle driver incompatibility with windows 8.1. A guess, do you work at PS? I mentinoed this to Simon the other day and would be happy to pass to any further details/logs etc if it helps. 

    To be clear;

    Windows 8 licence manager was installed, the dongle was connected and the computer was connected to the internet.

    Orcad and windows 8 worked fine, a fresh install on windows 8.1 did not work. No matter what happened the cadence supplied flexID 9 driver would not work. After a quick google this appears not to be an isolated issue with FlexNet Dongles being used with other software.
