ClientID
The client ID is a unique identifier assigned to a user account the first time a user logs in to a
computer and opens the AnywhereUSBManager. During this process, the AnywhereUSB Manager
creates a secure identity certificate that is associated with the client ID. This certificate is used to
validate your user account with the Hub.
After a user has created a client ID for their user account, the computer is able to connect to the Hubs
that recognize that client ID.
Create a client ID during initial launch of the AnywhereUSBManager
The AnywhereUSB Manager can be initially opened by a user in one of the following ways:
n Installation: When the AnywhereUSB® Plus Hub software is installed, the Launch
AnywhereUSB Manager option is selected by default. When the installation completes, the
client ID confirmation dialog appears. The user enters a client ID, and then the AnywhereUSB
Manager is automatically opened.
Note If the user deselects the Launch AnywhereUSB Manager option, the AnywhereUSB
Manager does not automatically open after the installation process completes. In this case,
the client ID dialog does not display.
n New user logs in: After the AnywhereUSB® Plus Hub software is installed, any user can log
into that computer and open the AnywhereUSB Manager. The first time a user opens the
AnywhereUSB Manager, the client ID dialog appears. The user must enter a client ID before
the AnywhereUSB Manager will open.
