Hi folks,
There have been a few threads about USB license dongles on virtual license servers.  Were trying that now w/ PFTrack and VMWare, but the host doesnt seem to see the dongle.
Anyone got any tips they can share?  Pixelfarm is time-shifted so we wont be able to talk to them for a bit.
Rob

There's also explicit VLAN support if you need the device to show up on multiple subnets (that's on a myUTN-800 running software 14.4.10, firmware 353.15, hardware 1.1).

Hi Julian,
Not sure why it would need to. We use a UTN and I while I think my VMs and the dongle server *are* on the same net, I don't think they need to be -- it's not doing zeroconf or anything like that. You just give the client an IP and a port #.

For those on this thread (or others) running myUTN dongle server, there is word that it needs to "run in the same network" as the VM that is consuming the dongle. Is that right? And if so, do any of these dongle servers support VLAN tagging?

It's 2017, not 2007. Snapshotting VMs and being host/hardware-independent is a mandatory requirement now. Physical servers just for license servers is a ludicrous requirement for so many reasons.

For those on this thread (or others) running myUTN dongle server, there is word that it needs to "run in the same network" as the VM that is consuming the dongle. Is that right? And if so, do any of these dongle servers support VLAN tagging?

Hi Hivemind!
I've got a client who is transitioning their pipelines from OSX to Windows 10. I looked in the archives and saw an old conversation regarding Bash/Ubuntu on Windows, but what's the current thinking/state of the art in terms of being able to handle environment vars, linux shell commands, etc. under Windows? Is it still cygwin, or does Ubuntu under Windows 10 handle enough now? Or is there something else?
I know this is a question with potentially a lot of details in the final answer, but any pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated.
thanks, stein

Just ran across the following a couple of days ago:

http://www.howtogeek.com/285082/how-to-run-windows-programs-from-windows-10s-bash-shell/

So apparently you can now run Windows binaries from the built-in Bash environment (which you couldn't in the initial incarnation). We're currently using GitBash to run our stuff, but it would be better if it would work on something that's more-or-less OS native.

You can try using an IP based USB-server if you have another machine that can be the host of the USB device. I'm using Fabula Tech USB over Network to allow an old Kantech access-card system to be managed from a VM.

You can try using an IP based USB-server if you have another machine that can be the host of the USB device.

I wouldn't do it. The software is for sure not redistributable - read the EULA. We have a internal docker registry for this purpose.

Hi Hivemind!
I've got a client who is transitioning their pipelines from OSX to Windows 10. I looked in the archives and saw an old conversation regarding Bash/Ubuntu on Windows, but what's the current thinking/state of the art in terms of being able to handle environment vars, linux shell commands, etc. under Windows? Is it still cygwin, or does Ubuntu under Windows 10 handle enough now? Or is there something else?
I know this is a question with potentially a lot of details in the final answer, but any pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated.
thanks, stein

Just ran across the following a couple of days ago:

http://www.howtogeek.com/285082/how-to-run-windows-programs-from-windows-10s-bash-shell/

So apparently you can now run Windows binaries from the built-in Bash environment (which you couldn't in the initial incarnation). We're currently using GitBash to run our stuff, but it would be better if it would work on something that's more-or-less OS native.

Additionally I have ZoL for replicating the over all KVM for a warm stand by approach. Again, not super smooth like VMware meshing etc but its a poor mans approach. - Brian Krusic "Fine purveyor of Squatchacoccus Squatchanosis Squatchagillus"

Anyone had any more luck getting this going? Or is it simply not possible?
It seems our machine found it once but then decided to never do it again

You can try using an IP based USB-server if you have another machine that can be the host of the USB device. I'm using Fabula Tech USB over Network to allow an old Kantech access-card system to be managed from a VM.

Response from Johannes Amorosa @ Aug. 1, 2017, 9:55 a.m.

I am happy to achieved a stable chaosgroup license service for some weeks now in a dockerized environment. The Dongle is distributed via a virtualhere USB Server running on a PI. Container is spawned in a nomad cluster - USB IP kernel module runs on every host. Right now I am fine tuning pre/post mount scripts for the USB-IP-Bridge for the container lifecycle. If anyone is interested I can write up some notes in my blog.

Best
JA

doing the same with a sentinel dongle on docker - my first not excessive try month ago failed.

Hi Hivemind!
I've got a client who is transitioning their pipelines from OSX to Windows 10. I looked in the archives and saw an old conversation regarding Bash/Ubuntu on Windows, but what's the current thinking/state of the art in terms of being able to handle environment vars, linux shell commands, etc. under Windows? Is it still cygwin, or does Ubuntu under Windows 10 handle enough now? Or is there something else?
I know this is a question with potentially a lot of details in the final answer, but any pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated.
thanks, stein

Just ran across the following a couple of days ago:

http://www.howtogeek.com/285082/how-to-run-windows-programs-from-windows-10s-bash-shell/

So apparently you can now run Windows binaries from the built-in Bash environment (which you couldn't in the initial incarnation). We're currently using GitBash to run our stuff, but it would be better if it would work on something that's more-or-less OS native.

You can try using an IP based USB-server if you have another machine that can be the host of the USB device.

We've also dockerised all our license servers except a few. I haven't tried will a sentinel dongle but it works great with a chaosgroup dongle.

Hi Hivemind!
I've got a client who is transitioning their pipelines from OSX to Windows 10. I looked in the archives and saw an old conversation regarding Bash/Ubuntu on Windows, but what's the current thinking/state of the art in terms of being able to handle environment vars, linux shell commands, etc. under Windows? Is it still cygwin, or does Ubuntu under Windows 10 handle enough now? Or is there something else?
I know this is a question with potentially a lot of details in the final answer, but any pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated.
thanks, stein

Just ran across the following a couple of days ago:

http://www.howtogeek.com/285082/how-to-run-windows-programs-from-windows-10s-bash-shell/

So apparently you can now run Windows binaries from the built-in Bash environment (which you couldn't in the initial incarnation). We're currently using GitBash to run our stuff, but it would be better if it would work on something that's more-or-less OS native.

Additionally I have ZoL for replicating the over all KVM for a warm stand by approach. Again, not super smooth like VMware meshing etc but its a poor mans approach. - Brian Krusic "Fine purveyor of Squatchacoccus Squatchanosis Squatchagillus"

doing the same with a sentinel dongle on docker - my first not excessive try month ago failed.

Additionally I have ZoL for replicating the over all KVM for a warm stand by approach. Again, not super smooth like VMware meshing etc but its a poor mans approach. - Brian Krusic "Fine purveyor of Squatchacoccus Squatchanosis Squatchagillus"

Supported list as of now:
https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1021345
The PFtrack dongle we are using is a SuperPro, but the color is turquoise, not grey, and is still not in the supported devices list.
Historically the dongle has been in use since PF went to cloud licensing.  If you have an isolated production network, then cloud licensing is a real PITA and this dongle is their solution to that issue.

I feel I missed my main issue. Has anyone got got the pftrack dongle working in vmware?
Checking the supported list link from earlier the ID of the safenet dongle is supported but not working 
VRay which is our only other dongle at the moment works fine in the virtual host (and they will still scrap this dongle shit anyways) so setting up a special solution for just pftrack seems insane. 
I read that pftrack scrapped the dongle for later versions of pftrack but we still wan't to run 
our pfmatchit licenses that don't get any updates.

Well, as cool as a box in which you plug USB dongles can be... But it does have dual PSUs and dual network interfaces, so even though the dongle itself remains a SPOF, hopefully the dongle server isn't what's going to fail.

It may be a small thing, but in the web UI for the box you can actually name the ports in which the dongles are plugged in, which is better than the typical case of having a bunch of anonymous 10 year old dongles plugged into the back of a old server, and no one remembers what dongle serves what application...

Hi Hivemind!
I've got a client who is transitioning their pipelines from OSX to Windows 10. I looked in the archives and saw an old conversation regarding Bash/Ubuntu on Windows, but what's the current thinking/state of the art in terms of being able to handle environment vars, linux shell commands, etc. under Windows? Is it still cygwin, or does Ubuntu under Windows 10 handle enough now? Or is there something else?
I know this is a question with potentially a lot of details in the final answer, but any pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated.
thanks,stein

Just ran across the following a couple of days ago:

http://www.howtogeek.com/285082/how-to-run-windows-programs-from-windows-10s-bash-shell/

So apparently you can now run Windows binaries from the built-in Bash environment (which you couldn't in the initial incarnation). We're currently using GitBash to run our stuff, but it would be better if it would work on something that's more-or-less OS native.

Although a costly solution, I can recommend these as working very well with all known license dongles in the industry, including PFTrack:https://www.digi.com/products/usb-and-serial-connectivity/usb-over-ip-hubs/anywhereusb

We used vmware vSphere running VM's which connected to the above hubs.
I had 2 of the rack mount version which has redundant power and nics, in a mesh.
I'm still saddened that usb license dongles are still a 'thing' in 2017. Oh well. :(

You can try using an IP based USB-server if you have another machine that can be the host of the USB device.  I'm using Fabula Tech USB over Network to allow an old Kantech access-card system to be managed from a VM.

Hi,
Unsure if its relevant but I use KVM and various Nixs and Windows with USB dongles tied to certain VMs.
Works well enough, although I have to find some time to figure out how to lock a dongle to a USB port as every time I reboot it changes.
Additionally I have ZoL for replicating the over all KVM for a warm stand by approach.
Again, not super smooth like VMware meshing etc but its a poor mans approach.

Although a costly solution, I can recommend these as working very well with all known license dongles in the industry, including PFTrack:https://www.digi.com/products/usb-and-serial-connectivity/usb-over-ip-hubs/anywhereusb

We used vmware vSphere running VM's which connected to the above hubs.
I had 2 of the rack mount version which has redundant power and nics, in a mesh.
I'm still saddened that usb license dongles are still a 'thing' in 2017. Oh well. :(

Response from Erik Johansson @ Feb. 14, 2017, 7:50 p.m.
I feel I missed my main issue. Has anyone got got the pftrack dongle working in vmware?
Checking the supported list link from earlier the ID of the safenet dongle is supported but not working
VRay which is our only other dongle at the moment works fine in the virtual host(and they will still scrap this dongle shit anyways) so setting up a special solution for just pftrack seems insane.
I read that pftrack scrapped the dongle for later versions of pftrack but we still wan't to run
our pfmatchit licenses that don't get any updates.
Cheers,Erik

You can try using an IP based USB-server if you have another machine that can be the host of the USB device. I'm using Fabula Tech USB over Network to allow an old Kantech access-card system to be managed from a VM.

Response from Brian Krusic @ Feb. 14, 2017, 10:40 a.m.
Hi,
Unsure if its relevant but I use KVM and various Nixs and Windows with USB dongles tied to certain VMs.
Works well enough, although I have to find some time to figure out how to lock a dongle to a USB port as every time I reboot it changes.
Additionally I have ZoL for replicating the over all KVM for a warm stand by approach.
Again, not super smooth like VMware meshing etc but its a poor mans approach.

Yes.  I wanted to separate the roles of the servers and allow easy snapshots of the VM.

You can try using an IP based USB-server if you have another machine that can be the host of the USB device.  I'm using Fabula Tech USB over Network to allow an old Kantech access-card system to be managed from a VM.

Hi folks,
There have been a few threads about USB license dongles on virtual license servers. Were trying that now w/ PFTrack and VMWare, but the host doesnt seem to see the dongle.
Anyone got any tips they can share? Pixelfarm is time-shifted so we wont be able to talk to them for a bit.

wow! Lol...good to know. Well it worked with me...kind of. The dongle shows up with lsusb. And the License Software picks up the dongle and shows its present. But when for example artists
cache in PFTrack - somehow the license software looses the connection to the dongle and only restarting helps. I put quite some time into this to figure it out. Maybe this is also just a software bug and not related to vmware (they actually support the Sentinel Dongle used)

Hi Rob,
I just had a few weeks of fun with ESXI 5.5, Centos 6.6 and the weird Sentinel Dongle PixelFarm uses for their licenses server. While it works sometimes - often the virtual machine looses the connection to the dongle and only restarting the virtual machine helps.

You might ask the Technical Director Wayne Price to do a quick Teamviewer session with you.

Which version of esxi host are you running?
