I wouldn’t say that buying a new (latest model) USB E-lIcenser is the last resort.
I would say it’s the immediate thing to do;
I used to have a first generation USB E-lIcenser and the number of E-licenser errors kept growing and growing over time and nothing
really helped in the end (constantly doing the dongle maintenance, clear memory functions and de-installing > reinstalling E-licenser software,
changing USB port etc).
Drove me crazy !
So then i bought latest gen USB E-Licenser (the small blue one, i believe it’s gen4) and whatta you know;
All my e-lic drama completely gone.
