Upek fingerprint reader suite .ulc license file?

I too am using Windows 7 and have noticed the same limitations, do not have a solution but am curious to hear the answer to Marwanie's question. I also have tried the beta version of Protector Suite 2009 because I needed it in order to be compatible with Firefox 3.5, but it too is limited.

My question is, do I have to purchase another license for 2009 because I want to be able to use my fingerprint reader to it's full abilities?

I am also disappointed with the frequencies of updates of the Protector Suite software on Dell's website. I used to have to go directly to Upek to download latest builds in order to maintain compatibility with Firefox.

Thanks to anyone that can help me out with this!

Similar situation,

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate in the autumn.  I've just updated to the latest UPEK TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor driver which uses the latest (more secure)Windows Biometric technology available in Windows 7 and discovered that Dell's latest version of the UPEK Protector Suite QL isn't actually compatible with the Windows Biometric Framework.

Seems a bit frustrating that Dell aren't making the Protector Suite 2009 available - they seem to be pretty slow with their drivers altogether.  NVIDIA are always several versions ahead of the Dell Drivers download page.  Dell are selling machinese with software and drivers that are generally 12-18 months out of date.  SONY have the latest UPEK software available ftp://download.sony.com/US/pc/UPAPWD-70189602-64.EXE , but of course it doesn't work with DELL machines.

If people want the latest version of the UPEK software they can choose between a free limited version: http://www.upek.com/solutions/protectorsuite/testdrive.asp

or the full version: http://www.upek.com/solutions/psql/chekpoint.asp

It is difficult to get the new drivers to install properly.  Unfortunately UPEK has named the new driver 1.2.x and the old drivers were 1.9.x.  Trying to update to the new drivers results in a message saying that the system already has the most up to date drivers.  It is necessary to delete every trace of the old drivers (there were several different versions on my system) to prevent Windows 7 automatically installing a 1.9.x version.  Then maunally install the new drive by pointing the device manager to the path of the place where you've saved the new drivers. 

Read UPEK's site information closely.  If you purchase the new Protector Suite 2009 for $19.99, this does not include any future upgrades, patches or improvements...even if you order the "download insurance" for 1 year.  This was a deal breaker for me!  They don't even offer an upgrade discount for those of us that are getting the typical "shaft" by Dell! 

Is there any more news regarding the newer UPEK software? I'm using vista but having upgradedmy  Mozilla Firefox browser to 3.6 my touch strip reader is no longer supported

I guess this is dead in the water then :emotion-6:
