- Plug it into a Windows machine where it’s recognized.
- Open CodeMeter Control Center. You can download here: https://www.wibu.com/support/user/user-software.html
Click Update the Firmware and wait for it to finish.

Switch to HID Communication Mode. (Refer to screenshot)
On a Windows machine:
- Navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeMeter\Runtime\bin\
- Open Command Prompt.
- Run: .\cmu32.exe --serial 3-XXXXXXX --set-config-disk HidCommunication
3-XXXXXXX should be replaced by your dongle number
This changes how the dongle communicates with the OS and may help macOS recognize it properly.

Try a different USB port or hub: Sometimes macOS has trouble with certain USB ports or hubs.
- Plugging directly into the Mac (not through a hub).
- Using a different USB port.
