Hi -

Can anyone recommend a USB hub that they use and works well with the Vienna Key, please? 

I have a D-Link hub (powered by an adapter, not just the bus) which works fine with iLok dongles but not the Vienna eLicenser.

Many thanks,

G

I should say I'm on Intel Macs, Leopard & Snow Leopard.

Cheers,

I'm using Windows 7 here, and have the ViennaKey connected to a Digitus 4-Port USB Hub.



I have two of those connected to my system, and even two audio interfaces on one of them; I never had any issues, and they come with an (optional) external power supply for stabilization, too.

Strange. I use Windows 7 64-bit and I also have D-Link active hub DUB-H7 -  7 ports. All of them are in constant use (mouse, keyboard, 2 sound cards, pendrive, syncrosoft licenser and midi cable) and never had any problems with that.

Hi kamczak - 

Yes - that's exactly the hub I've tried. Maybe it's the combination of that and the Mac OS - or maybe a bad unit. 

Thanks anyway,

G

I think it has more to do with OS X.  I for a long time used a USB hub, and then one day (update 10.5.6 i think) boom.  It never worked right ever again.  I have had to directly plug it into my USB port ever since (even after rebuilds etc).

I use a Hamlet eXagerate 7-ports USB hub (with external power).

It works fine with all peripherals (including iLok), but the Vienna Key + eLicenser becomes sometimes a nightmare...
