ESXi configuration for USBAnyWhere

[blueneaker]

Hi,

I am looking at a USB solution for ESXi, the requirement is to present a USB device to a VM running under ESXi 3.5 U3. The USB device will be a license type dongle - I have looked at using USBAnyWhere with ESX 3.5 Service console and it is acheivable, i was wondering if is this is possible in ESXi? has anyone successfully configured this?

Cheers

With ESXi you have to use a USB over IP device like USBAnywhere to get a USB device into a VM. ESXi doesn't support passthru of physically connected USB devices.
