I have a challenge with my hyper-v servers that i trouble to solve. I have to setup a server 2008 with sql 2008 for some software that controls our building, doorcontrols, alarms etc. This software is running with some control on a usb key with a license file on it, normally the company installs the software ona physical server, so there are no issues or troubleshooting about usb key in a virtualized envirioment. But we are trying to keep physical servers out of the serverroom running everything virtualized, but this time it seems a little bit difficult. I have read about displaying /accesing a usb harddrive and that this work in hyper- v, but i cant see that a normal usb stick can be used like an usb harddrive?

I think the right solution is to buy a usb to ip solution, like usb-anywhere, but its costly, so are any of you experts aware of how to acces any usb stick on hyper-v. The virtuel server have to recide on a server 2008 because off limitations on support with the software. I hope that somone can help on deciding if i have to byu a hardware box that can share the usb key on the network, or if i can get acces to the usb key through the hyper? I am fully aware that there are limitations if the usb keys is accesed on a physical host, and that if possible to acces it, the server has to run on that host. Hope to get some input on what others are doing to solve issues like this.

Usb Redirector Ts Edition Keygen Serial Numbers. Convert Usb Redirector Ts Edition Keygen trail version to full software. Usb license key on a virtuel server, is it possible? USB support to Hyper-V using USB Redirector. That provided me software with a USB key and talked to.

Kind regards Thomas. I will look into your answer and try it out, it sounds like a soloution, i wasent aware of. The company providing the software recommends the usb-anywhere, but this costs 1000 $ 😳.

I have tried the last solution, but i cant get the usb stick offline in the disk management. Havent tried diskpart, it seems like this is only for diskdrives running usb or? Thanx for q very quick reply, i will test and try to get it to work, and then get back here with my reply.

Many thanx and kind regards Thomas 😄👠x8D. The only issue with connecting the usb key to the hardware and using the usb pass through is that you tie the virtual machine to a physical device (the vm host where the usb is inserted). You should not use usb pass through if you use vmotion since you could easily migrate the vm away from the host were the usb dongle is installed. Where the solution like usb-anywhere give you an external device that is network connected. I'm not saying that usb pass through is a bad choice just be aware of the limitations. You will also find that some servers only have 2 usb ports in the back and 2 in the front, if you have several applications that use usb keys you may not have enough ports for the pass through. Igra po valeologii.

I've used a small usb hub in this situation to overcome this restriction too.
