You might need to use a USB port on the back of the computer. If that does not help, you might want to post in the general hardware forum for your system model.
I already connected the adapter into the USB port and the HW key into the Adapters 25pin LPT connector, but it doesn't work. I assume the software searches the HW key from the HW-coded LPT-port and can't find it because the USB enabled printing doesn't show up like LPT-port.
Ok, now I'm with you. We used these with one of our chromatographic data systems. Now that everything is going back to server-based, they're going the way of the parallel port itself.
The HASP (Hardware Against Software Piracy) also known as DONGLE may have to be updated to HASP4 to work. Newer HASP4 is only available in USB. Extra charge to get Parallel Port HASP these days. You're right Osprey, good as gone.
Wingbeat,
Do you have haspinfo.exe file? If not, download it from here:
In this procedure, use the Create Local Port. recommend you use LPT2 as the port name. Helps if you have a plug and play printer to attach to the Parallel Port adapter plugged into the HASP.After creating port, Add Printer (Generic Text for example) and designate it as being attached to LPT2.
If you have a parallel port printer, that's fine. It can help test communication with the port you created. If not, don't worry about it.
If needed, you can download a HASP USB/Parallel Port driver from here:

This will let you know what level your parallel port HASP is.
Little tricky to do this, but here's how to create the port.

Try this. Let me know if it works for you.
Whoa. Almost forgot. Read key only in these procedures. Don't try to change the HW key's code.
