This fileset fixes a scenario if the Showcontroller license dongle is suddenly not recognized by Windows any more. The problem can be caused by Windows updates that unexpectedly change the handling of HID devices. It is a Windows bug, but there is a fix for Showcontroller to make those license dongles work again.



The described bug that the Showcontroller license dongle is not recognized any more is very rare, so not every user requires this update.


This is a file-only update: extract the files in the folder and overwrite the existing files in your C:\Showcontroller\Bin folder with those four files. This should fix the problem with the Showcontroller license dongle.
