Windows Vista

Preface: All VP software products in their latest version are ready to run with Windows Vista. However, some of Windows Vista's characteristics need to be considered in order to operate VP software products properly:

1.  VPLicenseManager installation mandatory
2.  Hardlock module (dongle) on parallel port
3.  Online-Help
