Attempting to use a USB WIBU key on a ESX Server from VMWare but the key is not detected.

Cause:  ESX Server does not support USB ports.  ESX is server class and VMware doesn't believe it is necessary to have USB port connectivity because you will never plug a keyboard/mouse into it.

Solution:  Tharo has heard from customers who have had success using the Digi AnywhereUSB device in these cases. There is also a discussion on using other similar devices for USB support  on an ESX Server http://communities.vmware.com/message/545754

These same customers have reported it is necessary to use WIBU driver 5.10 to get everything working properly.

NOTE:  Tharo Systems will not support AnywhereUSB.  This is presented solely for information purposes in an effort to help guide our customers towards a solution for using a USB WIBU key with 64 bit operating systems running under VMWare.
