Description
Hi All,
Really odd behaviour we are getting from our VMs. We have 3 VMs running windows 7 and each has a dongle that grants access to proprietary software. 2 dongles grant access to HASP software and 1 grants access to Windfarmer. These usb devices are incorrectly named in Virtual box which is causing some confusion, We can only use Windfarmer software when one of the "HASP" dongles is connected and vice versa.
Not sure how/when this began happening or why. This would be a purely aesthetic problem but the two HASP dongles are identical and cannot be distinguished between each other using the USB filter so occasional they are assigned to the incorrect VM which means we have to manually fix it.
Logs attached.

Replying to DanitDan:
These usb devices are incorrectly named in Virtual box
Can you please explain "incorrectly"? What are they named? What were you expecting them to be named, and why.
the two HASP dongles are identical and cannot be distinguished between each other using the USB filter so occasional they are assigned to the incorrect VM which means we have to manually fix it.
If they cannot be distinguished, how is it expected to be... distinguished? And how do you "manually fix" them?
