Virtual here server closes as soon as it's open

Submitted by jigglywiggly on #1

I am on Win10 10.0.19042.685
I have hyper-v enabled, not sure if that affects this.
10850k, 64gb of ram, gtx 1070.

As soon as I open virtual here usb server, it displays for a quater of a second and then closes. It is not running in the system tray.
I don't see any logs either.

Well there is a new problem, I can't share my stm32 NUCLEO-G070RB
On the server it says device is in use, but that shouldn't be the case. There are no drivers installed for it on the server.
I know it should be passable because it can be passed via vmware when I tried(vmware is not running right now).

Awesome, it works. I was going to buy it now, but the licensing seems weird. It's per server, so if you reformat, does it not work anymore?

Yeah VirtualHere is for a server which means its fixed and not for moving.

So just for clarification, is the license tied to the os install, usb hub, or usb controller or all of them?

The server on windows is tied to the OS install.

I see, thanks. Is it also tied to the os install if I use a rasberry pi 4?

All other platforms are tied to the hardware (including the pi).

So you can change the sdcard/os etc and put the license key in again and it will still be licensed.

The pi4 is a good platform for a USB server and i recommend that.

Great, I will likely buy that then for the pi. Not too much chance of the pi failing.
