I downloaded the files, ordered the exact same model USB stick, then went to work. He uploaded the ‘backup image’ along with all other software and references onto the MEGA download site, then relayed this to me. Inspired by this post, Gini apparently made a ‘backup’ or ‘clone’ of his ICOM Emulator 3.0.3 ( dongle) using an HP v220w 8GB USB Flash Drive(memory ‘stick’). I am just a ‘messenger’ relaying a generous gift.įirst, much thanks must be expressed to member NZM3CSL, for his post ‘ICOM Emulator USB Dongle – backup creation – how to’ (posted 08-12-2012): Note: It is not my intent to disrupt anyone’s ‘business activities’ associated with the sale of ICOM emulator. I’ll try to present this as clearly and concisely as possible with consideration for newbies. I am grateful for his sharing and sincerely appreciate him entrusting this project with me. His only request in return was that I upload a nice post to share it with others. He generously offered his ICOM Emulator Dongle image along with necessary software and instructions. I also don't want to use anything like USB over Ethernet (like Donglify).Recently I received a PM from member Gini complimenting my sharing and writings. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can duplicate this key? It's super easy to verify whether or not it's working. All of this information has given me hope that the device is just a basic USB storage device with a fancy way of interacting with the software, instead of a HASP device with an internal chip to control the license key. It also shows up in Device Manager under the Disk Drives category as "USB Flash Disk USB Device". Taiwan (formerly Feiya Technology Corp.) (0x090c) I loaded WireShark and filtered out the traffic coming to/from the USB device, and got the following info for the device's descriptor: DEVICE DESCRIPTORīDeviceProtocol: 0 (Use class code info from Interface Descriptors) Both of those result in the machine saying the license key is wrong or not found. However, neither copying these to another drive, nor cloning the entire device using Passmark's USBImage works. Their guide to installing a new license key from a new dongle ( found here) shows that the drive contains two files meant to serve as the license. If you plug the key into the computer, it acts as a normal USB drive and lets you transfer files on and off of it, which leads me to assume they're just using regular USB drives in a fancy manner. I know that cloning these can be hit or miss depending on how locked down they are, but I'm hopeful about this one. I want to make copies of the key, as the software is installed on multiple computers, but the company that developed the software wants $150 per key. I have a copy of some software that comes with a security USB key to act as a license.
