Hi,

sorry for the late reply, I've been out of office for few days.

I completely uninstalled the driver and also started a new installation of max+plusII (same directory, thus, current installation was removed by installer first).

During installation, this window popped up:

unfortunately, when starting max+plusII....

System Information (Options => License Setup => System information) shows no SW Guard..

And the USB Dongle is also not installed according "Device Manager":

Thus, I assume the Sentinel Driver installed by max+plusII installation setup may be for the parallel port dongle only...

For the USB dongle I found via Google-Search "Sentinel Protection Installer 7.6.9" from Google Storage File Downloader - Google Storage Portal (thalesgroup.com)

This package installed successfully

and the USB Stick is now recognized in the device manager

While starting max+plusII still throws the same error message as shown above and still not recognizes the Sofware Guard.

I assume the driver being installed, but I'm not aware of any configuration options...

For sure, the sentinel driver is much newer than max+plusII, maybe there was a change in the "interface between the dongle and the protected SW"?

Do you have access to any SafeGuard USB dongle drivers delivered with max+plusII ?
