hardware lock conversion??

[seneb]

i have a serial hardware lock, but my new laptop doesn't have a serial port. is there any converter i can use to make it work? i tried a universal usb hub that had a serial port, but viz didn't pick up the lock on it. thanks.

You may need to find and application (crack) that was or
is available to remove the need for the hardware lock.
