[SML] VW 12.5 in Windows 10... used to work, now....

[Jon Ares]

Hi folks... wondering if anyone has any insight here.... I had been
using Vectorworks 12.5 (with dongle) in a brand-new Windows 10
computer... no problems... but I recently had to re-install Win 10,
and re-install VW, and now it doesn't work.  Says there is no dongle,
and shall now unceremoniously close.  Like I said, it used to work....
(brand new Win 10 computer - not an upgraded OS.)

I did the same procedure for VW installation both times: installed my
version 12 disk, then the 12.5 update, and the (newer) Sentinel
driver... the dongle lights up... Services says the Sentinel HASP
driver is running.... I've tried opening port 1947 (and even disabled
all firewalls just to test) - and VW still doesn't "see" the dongle.
Anyone have any suggestions? (Short of coming up with $6K for two
seats of a modern version of VW?)

TIA....
