Installing a new FLEXid=10 USB keylock and drivers

NOTE: For previous versions, please visit https://www.aldec.com/en/support/resources/documentation/articles/1245.

If your Active-HDL, Riviera-PRO, ALINT, HES/DVM or Netlist Converter license is issued for a USB FLEXid keylock or dongle (license file contains reference to "flexid=10" in the server line), installing the drivers may be necessary.

NOTE: USB FLEXid keylocks are labeled with a FLEXid number, in the format FLEXid=10-xxxxxxxx, where x is a hexadecimal number. The FLEXid=10 (WIBU) is blue, as shown below:
