error in new Windows USB Server 4.3.3

Thanks for the feedback.

Could you download it again now as i made a fix which i think will resolve the issue.

Let me know if it still wont start

Hello, I have the same issue, but for me there are two events.
First the VboxUSBMon mention above and second that it cannot start device manager

Thanks for the detailed log. So your server pc is windows 10?

OK i think im going to rollback to 4.3.2 for this, ive already got a few reports with issues... Im going to swap back in the original server 4.3.2 instead of the new one

Thanks! Thats a useful log I found another bug, could you download and try this new version https://www.virtualhere.com/sites/default/files/usbserver/test/vhusbdwi…

The first run looks good, but if i click the "Stop" botton and run it again, it will prompt "USB server error, check log", so i paste the log:

On the machine where the virtualhere server is running can you open a Command Prompt and type

sc qc VBoxUSBMon

then paste the output here. Im wondering if the non-english language setting in windows is confusing things

C:\Windows\system32>sc qc VBoxUSBMon
[SC] QueryServiceConfig 成功

OK thats the problem! Ill fix it now, give me a bit of time and i post a new test server here...

OK can you try this version https://www.virtualhere.com/sites/default/files/usbserver/test/vhusbdwi…

great! problem fixed

OK great, you can use that build. Im going to hold of putting it back as the default download on my website for the time being to see if there is anymore feedback from customers.

What sort of USB device is that? Is it a smart card reader? If so what is the model?

After testing version 4.3.4, the client cannot "use the device" from server, prompting "This server trial has expired, please purchase a license to continue using." (at this time i haven't connected any device). I'm not sure if this is a bug?

No it shouldnt say any trial expired message (unless you are running the client as a service which i dont think you are?)

Anyway i think smartcards are not going to work with this new version so im rolling back to the old version now.

Maybe it’s because I used the "sc create" command to run the vh-server as a service, but it cannot be started continuously, so I used the "sc delete" command to deleted this service, and then the vh-client can no longer connect successfully, prompting "This server trial has expired, please purchase a license to continue using."

No it will only say trial expired if you set a custom setting in the server config.ini file (https://www.virtualhere.com/configuration_faq the ones listed at to lower part of that page) or you are running the client as a service

Indeed. I tried to add some advanced parameters for testing, after deleting these parameters it works great.
So can the vh-server started as a service? like "sc create" command and so on...

The virtualhere server can run as a service, just run

vhusbdwin64.exe -b

to install/uninstall it as a service

Thanks a lot, it works well.
If I run the virtualhere server as a service, and only share one device, should I purchase a license? Is there any trial time limit for use?

You dont need to if its just one device there is no timeout
