Keylok dongle issues in Windows 11 with VoxPro and the WNIP Audio Driver

Problem #

We have encountered Windows 11 installations where the Keylok driver doesn’t validate and Windows doesn’t recognize the dongle.

Solution #

1. Go to the Keylok website and download Install.exe (which will be their latest release)
2. Follow the instructions in the setup; it will prompt you when to install the dongle.
3. In the Dongle Type section check KEYLOK 2 (USB w/Driver). In the Installation Type section select Standalone.
4. After installing the driver, the license will validate. If it still doesn’t, read on.

In Windows 11, Windows Memory Integrity can prevent the Keylok driver from loading. If this happens, even with the latest Keylok driver installed, the USB key will have a caution sign in device manager and Windows will throw a pop-up saying a security setting prevented a driver from loading. To fix go to Windows Security, then go to Core Isolation, and turn Memory Integrity off. Reboot. The driver will load.
