Close GDSLAB and confirm that the dongle is plugged into a USB port on the PC and its .
Is the red light is turned on.
...
?
No → Then plug in the dongle and run GDLAB, If it is, then
or
Yes → Then plug it into a different USB port.
Run GDSLAB, if the dongle is recognized and you no longer receive the error then the previous USB port was faulty, or the driver installation was not finished and by connecting it to a different port Windows recognized the new device and finished installing its driver.
Two things that will not work with the HASP dongle:
Having more than one GDS dongle plugged in at once
You cannot use Windows Remote Desktop to login to the PC as the HASP driver will block the connection to the dongle to prevent the dongle being shared over the network
If the error message persists continue to the next step.
