Is it possible to use this without installing the drivers (plug and play) from the manufacturer in Windows 8.1 for locking/unlocking the computer??

Hello diebumbot. Thank you for contacting us here at Fulcrum Biometrics. The device drivers and the FinLogon Personal software would need to be installed in order to lock/unlock your computer. We provide these components when you purchase this fingerprint scanner. We hope this is helpful. Best regards

There are some driver updates on their website that I had to install to get it working properly after updating to Windows 8.1.

There is a driver for Win 8.1 ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/workstation?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064 )

It doesn't require any drivers. Just plug it into a USB port and it works. On the other hand, I didn't like the build quality so I returned it. I got a "daskeyboard" instead and I'm very happy with it.

Not plug and play. Comes with an install disk and instructions. I am running Window 8 so I cannot speak to the Windows 7 compatibility but I would imagine that it is.

Yes. For our Dell computer running Windows 8.1 it was 'plug and play'. It worked right out of the box with no driver needed.

Yes, I am running Windows 8.1 Pro and it works great. http://plustek.com/usa/support/drivers-and-downloads.html

Yes, but first you need to "uninstall" the installation on the computer you don't need or want to have it on, and then you install on your new computer. That's what I did when my old laptop was going out on me - before it died completely - and installed on my desktop instead. If I would have NOT been able to uninstall it before my laptop died, maybe I would have had to call Microsoft tech support. Then when you first use the program, it asks you to unlock it. Just input the key (that amazon keeps on file for you so you never lose it) and it works perfectly!

It was stated in comments that it works with win 8 and to install drivers, but its my understanding this is plug and play with no available drivers.

by "unlock" do you mean accessing the profiles in the esc? you need either a field program card or a usb link cable to do that.

NO PROBLEM! Though on a side note, I have had better luck using the windows update drivers for these things than the provided software. fwiw

This unit will NOT connect to a windows 8.1 machine without a driver, which is NOT supplied.

I purchased this item for a third party and don't recall weather it can be locked

It will work with Windows 8 but it's not guaranteed to work with Windows 8.1 without loading the latest driver.

I just use the software that came with apparatus. Applied the driver updates (software), then plug the apparatus in my USB port on my computer, and it's set. I used it on my Windows 8, however, I may need to reinstall the driver as it has some issues with my printer. I'm just surprised that it would work on my W8 system since my computer doesn't have a fax modem - mines a small compact computer.Hope that helps.

Sue; you will have to contact whomever is selling the unit..............I'm just another person who bought the unit off Amazon..... and by the way... I think Windows 8 is a POS...

I used the ( downloaded) manual from Internet, however when I put Windows 8.1 on my laptop recently it did not work anymore as it did before using Windows 8. Contacted IOGEAR and they wrote me they are working on a solution to let it run on Windos 8.1 as well, to be expected in March. Succes and if you have any futher questions please do not hesistate.
