Reinstalling the Dongle Driver
Vbrick Driver Download Software
Vbrick Driver Download Windows 10
The license file corresponding to maximum streams and bandwidth you purchased is pre-installed on the server by VBrick. Under normal circumstances you will never have to re-install the license. When you purchase a release version of QuickVideo OnDemand Server, a dongle key with the proper settings is also included. This dongle key must be connected to any available USB port (front or rear) on the unit to enable video streaming through the server. The license dongle regulates the maximum video streaming throughput and the maximum number of simultaneous video streams. The license file is pre-installed on the VOD W server in the system32 folder. However, you will still need to reinstall the dongle driver if you ever need to reinstall the system.
Installing the Dongle Driver
To load the license with the dongle:
- Attach the dongle key to any available USB port and click Continue to run the Found New Hardware Wizard.
- Go to Start > Control Panel > InfoValue QuickVideo.
- Click on the License tab and click the Load License File button.
- After loading a valid license, click on Load Dongle Driver. This will load the dongle driver, restart the service, and load the new license.
If errors occur, click Run Diagnostics (on the license tab) and send the log file, the infovalue.lic file, and your dongle ID to VBrick Support Services. See VOD W Event Manager for more information. |
Viewing License Status
Viewing the current license status:
