Miraculously, the EDIUS Dongle Unlocker worked. Alex's software was now accessible without the dongle, and he could dive back into his project. Overjoyed and a bit relieved, he couldn't help but wonder how this tool worked and the implications of using it.
Open a browser and go to http://localhost:1947 . This tool (installed with drivers) shows detected dongles. If it sees the dongle but EDIUS does not, the software is checking the wrong license (e.g., looking for a floating network license instead of a local dongle). edius project dongle locker and unlocker
