Eikon fingerprint reader windows 8 driver#
No driver I have tried yet gives that name, so I'm unsure of what to do next. It also says that the name of the device changes to 'TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor (WBDI)'.

the basic Windows 7 functionality as well as the Protector Suite QL advanced features, but when I install that driver, I only get it working with Windows, not the Protector Suite. The My Digital Life link suggests that installing the driver from the UPEK website linked from their web page will mean the functionality gained is exactly what I'm after - i.e.
Eikon fingerprint reader windows 8 drivers#
I've tried all of the listed Windows 7 drivers from the UPEK website, including the WinBio drivers which I thought would work fine with the native Window 7 biometric functionality, however trying the driver you've linked, the device name changes to 'TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor (WBF advanced mode)' and although now recognised by Windows, UPEK Protector Suite QL doesn't recognise it! If I use the driver that does work with Protector Suite QL, the device is called 'TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor', but Windows doesn't recognise it! I can't believe this is the way it is supposed to work. Free trial: Best regards, - Petr Novak Development Lab Support Engineer, UPEK Inc. Free trial: The legacy applications like PS QL 5.6 or 5.8 and legacy Protector Suite 2009 as well require the legacy driver to be installed and are not integrated with the W7 Windows Biometric Framework API so the Windows 7 cannot work directly with the device.

To summarize: The new WBF Protector Suite 2009 requires WBF driver to be installed and IS fully integrated with W7 biometric features. However, as described above, the legacy driver does not support W7 Windows Biometric Framework API so the Windows 7 cannot work directly with the device. Note that that the Protector Suite QL (5.6 or 5.8) is a legacy application so it requires a legacy driver to be installed in order to recognize the biometric device and to work properly. Regarding the device drivers, the legacy driver supports only legacy applications whereas the WBF driver supports only the new "W7 only" applications and of course the Windows Biometric Framework feature of W7 as well. The main advantage of the WBF app/driver is that it is fully integrated with the W7 Windows Biometric Framework API. While the legacy application can be installed and used on any version of Windows including XP, Vista and W7 as well, the WBF application can be installed and used only on Windows 7 that supports the Windows Biometric Framework API. Let me shed some light on this issue: There are currently two different types of UPEK applications (and drivers) available - a legacy app and a "WBF" app. If anyone has any advice or thoughts, it'd be great to hear them. Alternatively I'd be happy not to use Protector Suite QL at all if there is a way to use the biometric device to login to websites native in Windows. Has anyone a solution or a similar problem? I would like Windows to recognise the device to use the Windows biometric login, and Protector Suite QL to recognise he device to use the biometric website login. If I use the UPEK driver that allows the Protector Suite to work, Windows doesn't find any biometric devices installed - I can't find a suitable driver where both Windows AND Protector Suite QL recognise the biometric device. If I use the driver provided by Windows Update, Protector Suite QL doesn't recognise the fingerprint reader installed. What I really want to do is use UPEKs' Protector Suite QL to enable the use of the biometric device to login to websites etc. I can either use the driver provided by Windows Update, and this allows Windows to recognise the biometric device and I can use the Windows fingerprint logion functionality, but this is all. The device itself is working fine, however the driver setup I've got at the moment isn't ideal. Hi, I've got a Dell XPS M1330 notebook with integrated UPEK biometric fingerprint reader.
