Assign Device Address (use the same virtual port number)

The Assign Device Address feature allows you to use the same virtual port number every time the user connects to the device group.

When you connect to a group that has USB devices, the AnywhereUSB Manager assigns a virtual port number to each device. When the AnywhereUSB Manager announces a device to Windows, Windows assigns an identifier to the device. By using the same virtual port, Windows usually sees it as the same device after a reboot.

In some situations after a reboot, Windows may give a device a different identifier, which causes Windows applications to see it as a different device. If this situation occurs, this feature can help Windows use the same identifier.

Note This feature is only available for Windows 10 and newer, and Windows Server 2016 and newer.
