I am trying to install a SW program which requires a HASP connected to the paralel (LPT) port. I plugged the HASP at the port of the docking station, but it is not recognized, apparently because this is not a normal parallel port, but (as SONY says) a USB Virtual Printer Port.<BR /><BR />Is there any work around this problem, so that I can use the HASP and the program on my new VAIO?<BR /><BR />I have also made a case by e-support, but 3 days now I have no reply, which I find very disappointing <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.se/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 17 Nov 2005 11:43:14 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/lpt-hasp/m-p/121229#M102912 kkato 2005-11-17T11:43:14Z Re: LPT HASP https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/lpt-hasp/m-p/121230#M102913 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, <BR /><BR />I assume a HASP is a dongle?<BR /><BR />I was in a similar situation witha Vaio Desktop and purchased a USB to Parallel Port cable, which I assume is similar to how your docking station is able to provide a parallel port.<BR /><BR />I wish you well if my assumptions are correct as I was never able to succeed with the USB/Parallel Port cable.
