Nobeltecs new owners have decided to abandon their VNS software by refusing to provide a driver for the security dongle needed to run the program on Windows 8/8.1.
Having just lost my old Windows Vista computer and replaced it with a Windows 8.1 computer I can no longer run my navigation program with the digital charts covering Eastern North America and the entire Caribbean (updated May 2014).
Anyone have any knowledge of where I could get a driver so that Windows 8.1 would recognize the dongle? When you run VNS on the computer it asks for the dongle even when the dongle is plugged in.
If I can crack the dongle issue I would be running a fully licensed copy of the software on my computer in compliance with the original license.
