@Matthias Please would it be possible to get a link to Microsoft documentation which details the technical reasons behind the USB change that’s been made to Onyx due to Windows 24H2? The only thing I can find on MS’ changelog for IT Professionals relates to USB scanners. There is no mention of “encrypted security structure” as used in the 4.30 release annoucement.
Presumably this information is openly available to Windows developers to allow them to code around it, so it should be no issue to provide a link?
There is no documentation for the problems that 24H2 caused. MS changes thousands of things in every version.
In this case Onyx encrypted communication caused the licensing system to think it was invalid / spoofing, meaning it thought the genuine hardware was essentially fake and blocked all unlock attempts. This was unknown to us until several customers reported NX Wings not unlocking their licenses and blocking the USB hardware.
The fix was to rewrite all encryption using the recently updated codemeter API and redesign some security unlocks. These changes are encoded against Obsidians “Master” hardware encryption key that is located in our RD Office in the Netherlands, and then included in the Onyx software, and can’t be applied to Martin hardware.
We are actually fortunate that we could redo the encryption so quickly as our team has have two decades of experience in these security challenges with Microsoft.
All Obsidian USB drivers and support was recompiled using updated security definitions as well. For example the M2PC and M2GO cannot work as the license key is considered “fake” based on the change in Windows and the USB surface is blocked from any communication if no valid key is detected.
Tuve el mismo problema con la nx wing, afortunadamente ya habia conocimiento de esto y pude solucionar con otra pc y otro windowns. Pero adicional a la nx wing, la interfas nx dmx de dos universos, si se conecta sola aparece que carga la licencia pero no funcionan las salidas, sea fisicamente en la interfas o por artnet de ninguna forma funciono mas que solo el universo 1. con la nx touch fue el unico dispositivo que reconocio normal y habilito la licencia correspondiente y ahi si ya trabajo tanto la nx dmx como por artnet esos 4 universos.
Ojala pronto podamos contar con una solucion para esto, cada vez mas me encuentro con equipos actualizados.
