Question ICOM USB Security Dongle/key advice needed

Hello everyone, I purchased a package of software and cables a couple of years ago but didn't get to installing everything until now.

I got INPA to work and so on, however the ISTA virtual machine needs to work with an ICOM virtual machine in parallel.

ICOM virtual machine throws errors since apparently I don't have a USB dongle/security key. I must have lost that in the shuffle somewhere.

Would anyone know where I can download an image of it and create my own (I found some instructions on the NZ forums), or may be a place where I can purchase one? I don't mind spending a few $ to save me some time and sanity.

Thanks in advance! Happy motoring

Things had advanced since then. Download the latest software. No key is needed or virtual machines.

Probably best place to download is Bimmer Geeks website.
