    Hi,

    I have been using a legitimate copy of Cosmos Design/Star / CosmosM on
    a desktop using the standard printer port dongle and validate.cos
    license file. I'm trying to run Cosmos on a new laptop with no parallel
    port. I've purchased a usb to parallel adapter, however, the device
    does not appear in the device driver as an LPT device but as a
    usb-print device. I know that they make a usb key that can be
    purchased, but I'd like to try and make it work with what I have.

    If anyone knows how to configure validate.cos to detect the parallel
    dongle through the usb port, please help me.

    Did you ever find a solution to this - I want to use my parrallel
    dongle occasionally on a machine that does not have a parrallel port.


    Regards
