So basically, I have one of those fancy activation dongles with 2GB of extra storage space that I use for my RSLogix activations. I've been using it with no problems for a little over a year across multiple computers and it's been great. But now after I've finally gotten a new work laptop, it won't show up as a Host ID in FactoryTalk Activation Manager. I am running Windows 10, which I know is not officially supported, but I'm also running 10 on my home computer, which it recognized no problem. I've also used it on a client's Windows 8.1 machine as well, so I'm not sure if it's operating system related, computer related, or just plain old user error. I downloaded the Safenet Hasp driver, but that also doesn't appear to be Windows 10 compatible. It only lists up to 8.1.
So basically, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Because I'm running down my 7 days on this laptop...

I no longer need to do this on a current project as I found a work around that is way easier and does not require we transfer ownership again, but I was going to rehost some activations for a customer and reactivate them for a new HMI build; when I tried to rehost and selected the Lic files it said it was an invalid format.
What format is it looking for !?!?
It gives us an Lic when we activate, would that not be what we need to rehost? The site is so helpful here too...
