(Win10) Updated to 11.5 - now, the dongle is not working anymore Topic is solved

[Animark]

Hey,

I updated to 11.5 but now, the dongle is no longer recognized. Yes, I read before about that 11.5 is now dongleless (Yeah!), but it still asks for the dongle and doesn't recognize it anymore.

What can I do? Luckily I stored the previous version of TVP, should I go back?

Thanks and best regards!

Did you actually switch over to the dongleless license ? Because you have to activate it. See the new tutorial in the User Manual on registering and activating the Codemeter license -

But if you did not switch to dongleless version then your dongle should still be recognized. Hopefully someone from TVPaint will respond to you soon.

So, you're using a SuperPro/UltraPro dongle, right ?

First things first, please try reinstalling your dongle driver while keeping the dongle unplugged : https://supportportal.thalesgroup.com/c ... =KB0019063

Then you'd need to ensure that your dongle is properly detected by Windows. You may ensure that the dongle is recognized with this utility : https://supportportal.thalesgroup.com/c ... =KB0019068

It's not related to your version of TVPaint, but the TVPaint setup automatically installs the driver for your dongle... so something may have happened at this stage.

No, I don't think. In my account I got only the 11.5 dongle version offered. I hoped there is the other on, without dongle, but was not there.

Yes, it is the Ultra Pro Dongle. I reinstalled the driver from the link and also used the Sam Tool to check.

Unfortunately, TV Paint is still asking for the dongle. Do you have another idea?

Have you tried restarting your computer ?

Alternate solution :

• close TVPaint

• unplug your dongle

• uninstall the safenet driver

• reboot

• reinstall the driver

• plug your dongle

• start TVPaint

I did it now exactly as you discribed, but nothing changed. Sam give the same results and TVPaint is still asking for the dongle.

OK, now I fixed it.

I installed TVPaint totally new (without Dongle Drivers) and now, it works. Don't know, what happened.

Thanks a lot for your help .

Okay, in the end only the result matters !
glad for you.

You need to contact the support team for that.

I'm experiencing this same issue after updating to 11.5 this morning and haven't been able to solve it using any of the suggestions in here.
What worked for those of you who got it fixed? Or are there other things I can try to fix it so I can get back to work?

Hello, does reinstalling this version of Sentinel (while keeping the dongle unplugged) change anything?

Also, did you try running TVPaint as an Administrator?
