Registering Activotes with Inspire

[BWalk5]

I just downloaded Inspire and have been trying to get my Activotes to work with the software and have been having a terrible time. When I start the program, I go into the dashboard, register the devices and everything seems fine; but when I then go to test them in a flipchart, I get a "No Expression devices are registered" message.

I went in and updated the ActivHub through the ActivManager to the newest version of what I believe to be firmware, and I'm getting the same message.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Do the Activotes only work with Studio? I can't figure it out. It was so easy with V3, and, like I said, the voters are popping up like everything is fine in the Device Registration window, but when I try to use them it all falls apart.

I called Tech Support and, in the end, was told to go back to ActivStudio V3.

After registering make sure you click on the activote tool in the voting browser - inspire defaults to expression devices and has to be 'told' to use the votes every time you use them.

Thanks Kevin. Finally works. I really appreciate your help.

Doesn't work for me. It looks like it does, but it will only register one response no matter how many votes it says it recorded. :(

I'm having a similar problem. When I use the question page maker in Insert Question, our Activotes will not work. I always seem to have to ask a question "on the fly." How can I set the Activote as my default? How can I use these already set up pages with the Activote instead of ActivExpressions? Thanks!
