I need to pass a USB HASP security key through to a Windows Server guest virtual machine in Proxmox and I'm not clear on how this can be done so that the USB is always mapped to this particular guest system. Could someone please share some explicit instructions in this regard?
 
Go in WEB GUI to Datacenter -> <node> -> <vm-id> -> Hardware -> Add -> USB Device and select in the popping up form the requested device (by Vendor/Device ID or Port; recommended to use Port since Vender/Device may not be unique).

So you're saying that as long as that particular USB port is used for the HASP key then it will always be mapped vs having to identify the other info. Thanks!
