I've installed StarWind 4.1 Build 20090515 on an XP Pro box. I want to share an external USB drive across my internal network. The log states "5/27 10:57:29.468 d7c conf: 'RamDisk.dll' loaded successfully.", but at the end of the log file:

5/27 10:58:42.015 b4c Plugin: LICENSE: Plugin 'IBVolume.dll' is not allowed.
5/27 10:58:42.015 b4c Plugin: LICENSE: Plugin 'Mirror.dll' is not allowed.
5/27 10:58:42.015 b4c Plugin: LICENSE: Plugin 'DiskBridge.dll' is not allowed.
5/27 10:58:42.015 b4c Plugin: LICENSE: Plugin 'VirtualTape.dll' is not allowed.

Does the free license restrict access to Disk Bridge? I have spent several hours searching both with google and in this forum and can find no mention of option being greyed back in the device wizard.

Thanks,

Al
