Rename AnywhereUSB Hubs, groups, and USBdevices
Each AnywhereUSB Hub and group has a default name that displays in the AnywhereUSB Manager.
You can also assign a local name to each Hub, group, or USB device that displays in the
AnywhereUSB Manager, which can help you to uniquely identify your local Hubs, groups, and USB
devices.
The local name is local to the computer on which the AnywhereUSB Manager is running. No other
user can see the local name.

Assign a local name to a Hub
You can give a AnywhereUSB Hub a local name. The name displays in the Hub Status pane in the
AnywhereUSB Manager and also in the tree view. The local name is local to the computer on which

Note The Hub local name is different from the default Hub name. For detailed information about the
default name, see Rename a Hub and the groups in a Hub.
