I am trying to install Genesys 7.5 on a new LAPTOP computer WITH WINDOW 7 os. THE KEY IS NOT RECOGNIZED THROUGH THE EXPRESS CARD TO PARALLEL adaptor.
I have a blue parallel port HASP4 Time dongle. Any suggestions?

Parallel port adapter / emulator: The parallel key utilizes some lines and / or functions not typically used for parallel printing. Parallel port emulators are usually geared to providing parallel print function, and they typically don't work for other applications such as hardware keys.
Windows 7: Genesys v7.x stopped shipping many years ago. There was never a guarantee that it would work through all updates of Windows XP, but it generally did. That was good fortune. I've been off the Agilent staff for a while now, so I don't have direct knowledge whether Genesys v7.x will run with Windows 7 or not.
To run Genesys v7.5x, best bet is to find a computer with windows XP and a parallel port (not an emulator). And remember- that blue key has a battery in it. The blue keys stopped shipping some time ago, and technically you're probably beyond the end of the battery life by now, too. They offered a replacement program (years ago) before the keys were obsoleted. Not sure what (if anything) is available as remedy now.
Best Regards
