one review says that this device needs software support. I understand that DEI DOES NOT support end users. Will this work out of the box?

Yes, it will work out of the box. The software in it is upgradable by ordering the latest chip.

the one I got came with a upgrade chip. once installed, it worked fine( out of the box) but you need the upgrade chip for the current eletronics

yes it will work out of the box but is not user friendly must contact dei and ask for help with programming very difficult to use but when know how to use is a big time saver

I used it straight out of the box. There is upgraded chips but mine came with the most recent upgraded option. I would recommend, definitely made the job of programming easier!

Well I had the hardest time, it seems that the automatic instalation plugins don't really link it to the sim if they offered a cd or sd card install I'm sure it would work but try it and please let me know maybe there is something missing in my computer.

I don't know. Could never get software to open. I purchased software but it only had trial version key to open. Contacted support and was given another key code that when plugged in said I needed to purchase a license to run the software. Did you get yours to work or are you looking to buy? If you haven't bought it yet I would say don't.

check your connections, and also check your software. It works fine with Dragon, but I don't know about any other software.

I had the same problem and see that you already have the answer I was going to offer. The software was out of date by about two or three versions. As soon as that was updated, it works OK.

The best advice would be to review the other comments and to try it out for yourself (in the worst case you could make a return). Also, if you don't want to try it out yourself you can contact IOGEAR and ask them to confirm official support (especially since the basic function of storing written pages and offloading those pages as JPEG images by connecting the receiver as a USB device is essentially "OS-agnostic").

I can only suggest you try http://www.i-gotu.com/ and see if there is software which must be updated. Hope the URL works for you. :-)

Not out of the box. I tried using some third party software and it was really complicated and I never got it to work.

no it doesn't and it is junk,,,Craig no longer supports this device if you have any issues with it as I did the day after Christmas last year. Lost operating system and they wouldn't send me any software...

Don't Know for sure, I would assume it would have support as long as you have your service packs up to date sp1,2,3. I run Linux Mint 17 64bit Mate desktop with no problems.

Tom: I was not able to install the disk like any conventional software,---but some how I was linked to a "free" download of Flt Sim X.Not enough time for trying it out, or instructions tp enter the product key to make it legal. Just been too busy with other things.

Yes, it will work; however, many, many apps will not support it. I don't know how to fix it.

I have no idea. I don't get that problem it works on some systems and some it does not take. That is the gamble with these types of devices. Sorry I couldn't help.

Should work,try it.. My best friend uses linux and hes an I.T. person,so it works for him..

The utilite is not offered with Linux Mint preinstalled but some googling and research you should be able to figure out a way to do it. The box is definitely worth the money, IMHO.

Yes. You will need to update the software but I do not notice a performance or functionality difference. It works very well.
