Are you using eVision Euresys Dongles with Scorpion Vision?

From version 6.0 to 7.0 the Euresys software version changes. The following is true:

• Version 6.0 – euresys is automatically installed with ScorpionVision Software installer
• Version 7.0 – the euresys software must be installed manually -contact Tordivel Support
• Version 8.0 – the software is installed with Scorpion -check the euresys sw readme file

Euresys does not support two versions at the same time. This means if you use Euresys you must run only one version of scorpion onthe actual computer.
