Just follow this simple procedure to make this possible.
Usb hardware key hyper v.
Start the hyper v manager and double click the name of your virtual machine.
Expand storage click on disk management.
In the pop up window click show options to configure your vm s future connections.
The settings window doesn t contain any reference to usb devices.
Open up computer management console.
Enable the allow enhanced session mode option.
Open the hyper v management console.
Please be careful here.
For access a usb device from a hyper v virtual machine go through setps.
To allow hyper v access to attached usb devices take the following steps.
Once the usb storage device is offline open the hyper v manager right click on the vm that needs access to the usb device and then choose the settings command from the shortcut menu.
Hope that may help.
As mentioned earlier direct usage of hardware license dongles is not supported for hyper v.
However if moving to sl license is not possible there are a few third party alternatives we can try to use hl licenses.
This allows you to work with usb dongles that are not in physical proximity to your vm.
That may come as a shock but.
Safenet recommends usb dongle server myutn 80 by seh technology.
But i am not able to access the local resources like usb ports.
I installed win 8 1 ultimate in vm using hyper v in windows 10 ent.
While the lack of usb support in hyper v is definitely a huge shortcoming it s actually by design.
The enhanced session on hyper v is enabled but it is greyed out in the guest.
Mount your usb drive on hyper v physical host machine.
On the host connect your usb drive wait until you can access the drive in explorer.
Usb redirector software solves this issue and allows you to redirect a usb dongle to hyper v virtual machines.
