A list of licenses you'll find under License - Device View.
If the installation was not successful, a red mark (one-way-sign) appears in front of the CAN hardware entry or only the virtual channels are visible (WIN 98/ME/NT). In Windows 2000/XP only virtual channels are shown. This problem can have the following causes:
- Vector hardware is defective. Please check the card on another PC.
- There are no free resources available, that means the interrupt (IRQ) or I/O-area or memory which are assigned to the Vector hardware are used by another device. For further treatment please find the information in the respective installation manual under chapter "Troubleshooting".
- The wrong driver is installed or the driver installation could not be carried out correctly. Please uninstall the driver completely (see uninstall guides). After uninstalling, download the latest driver from our homepage and install it on your PC.
