USB Guard and Nios2 licensing issues in v6.1

I've been having some trouble in the SOPC builder in v6.1 of Quartus2/EDS in regards to the Nios2 license. I have one of those usb guard dongles that's suppose to take care of the licensing, but when it comes time for the SOPC builder to create a system, it tells me it can't find a valid license. I've looked at the errata on v5.0.1 where it tells me to replace the eperl.exe file. I tried it and it doesn't work for v6.1. Help! Please!

    Are you running something other than Windows? I don't believe the USB dongle is supported on any other platforms.

    I&#39;m running on Windows. It&#39;s apparently a new type of dongle as I&#39;m told that they&#39;re replacing the parallel port types.

    Thanks,
