Assign, Allocate...USB

Hello friends, Is there the possibility to allocate a USB port for each Virtual Machine? The intention is ... The computer, MASTER, run one program than program USB device .... Virtual machines, one to four machines, runs the same program in different USB's ... The program does not run on many USB's ... (I would need to one computer for each program, then thought about virtualization). The detail is, each machine, including the master, should be linked to each USB. What a way to make that? I tried the USBoverIP but creates incompatibility with the USB device. In addition to the devices have the same name, which interfere at the time of the share. ?? Any idea??

Hello,

Moved to the Vmware Workstation forum. YOu can assign various USB devices to VMs within workstation but not specific USB ports.

Welceom to the Forums - What VMware product are you using? If it is ESX/ESXi you are not going to be able to access the USB ports on your server -
