Hey Everyone,

I have a legacy application Agilent Genesys 2004.7 which refuses to run under x64 Windows 7. The licensing scheme uses a Hasp Key (formerly Aladdin) to authorize the machine. The key has both 64 and 32 bit drivers, and is showing up properly with the 64 bit drivers under device manager.
The problem arises when the 32 bit software fails to find the key upon starting. It works fine in virtualbox running XP 32-bit, but it's much slower.
Does anyone know of a way to get an old 32-bit application to send driver calls to the 64-bit drivers?

Thanks in advance.
 
The driver should be accessible from 32 bit apps just fine. You might want to look into the registry a bit and see if maybe the Hasp installer is putting keys in HKLM\Software but not in HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node.
 
Agilent forums have plenty of info about their software on 64bit windows.
 
No help on the Agilent forums. I might have to try installing a different driver than the one that comes with Win7.
