Troubleshooting ActivExpression/Votes - I Can't Register Them? 02/27/15

Troubleshooting the Registration of ActivExpressions or Votes

Trying to register your ActivExpressions or Votes, but the HUB doesn't appear in the Registration window?  Here are some troubleshooting tips that work most of the time:

If, when you go to ActivInspire and Configure, you don’t see the HUB listed on the left side of the window, you can check a few things:
  • Make sure the HUB is in the USB slot on the computer
  • Make sure there is a green light blinking inside of it
  • Close ActivInspire (if it is open)
  • Go to this location:  \\pisdcifs02\pisdshare\Promethean\ActivBoard_Install_Items\ActivInspire\Drivers_and_Updates
  • You can get to this by opening the following folders/drives:
    • U: drive (Public)
    • Software folder
    • Promethean folder
    • ActivDrivers_and_Updates - Shortcut
  • Double-click ActivDriver_x64 v5.10.14 setup.exe
  • Answer all the positive responses (Yes, Install, Next, etc.)
  • Restart the machine when it is done
  • Open ActivInspire
  • From the Dashboard, click Configure
  • Click Register
The HUB should display on the left side of the window

ActiVotes work pretty much the same way.  If, however, after doing the steps listed above you still don't see the HUB, check with Instructional Technology for a few other tips to correct the problem.
