Has anyone used a USB multiplexer to pass a USB device to a guest VM? Does that break live migrations?

I'm thinking of things like USB license modules for software, ect.

I've seen some traffic on USB/IP as a possible result, but according to the thread Proxmox requires compilation for it to work? Or would offloading the USB "server" to a separate device (r pi?) bypass that?


Either way, I'm not sure that will work if I need multiple VMs able to access the license or security device at any given time. I'm trying to test with my personal Yubikey right now. Anyone have any experience with this?
