[sasser]

Hello, I have 2 ESX 3.5 hosts under VI 3.5 in 2 locations. My VMs need a software dongle, I have only 1. The solution, I install a USB over LAN device / software. That is the best solution for this. I have only find "AnywhereUSB" from digi. Different post write "it doesnt work fine" Your experiance with USB devices ? Thanks for you help. ?:|

I am using the Digi AnywhereUSB and have no complaints with it at all. It is solid.

We are using AnywhereUSB also in different locations without any problems. We use it mainly for providing USB license dongles.

i am using a 4 port keyspan USB server and works great with 3.0.2. i have a software dongle and a USB device that attaches to my security system software (KANTECH). the good thing about the keyspan is that you can have multiple VM's use the USB server. from what others have posted this is not true with the digi product. you say you only need one port, but who knows what you will need in the future.
