FYI
I have a customer that has an old Windows 7 laptop that runs VelbusLink
if that helps you
(Thumb up for Linux Davinci Resolve, the ONLY reason I can’t run it on my new machine is that I don’t have the appropriate GPU, but as soon as I can afford a decent Radeon… that will be resolved… NOT the £28,000 card… that’s a step TOO far)
Ow, I have that too, it is not a problem. But in the future if there is a VelbusLink update, a later version, there will be a point where Velbus will stop supporting Win10! That is a real problem.
I found there is a way to have a Win11 running in a VM and bypassing TPM requirement. If needed I may try that. For security you can lock out internet access in the VM.
Boot from Windows 11 ISO
When you hit the “This PC can’t run Windows 11” screen:
Press Shift + F10 → opens command prompt
Run:
regedit
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
Create a new key: LabConfig
Inside it, create DWORD values:
BypassTPMCheck = 1
BypassSecureBootCheck = 1
Continue installation
That may work. For the time being we’re good in Win10.
The best solution still to have a multiplatfom solution. I kept this discussion as favorite only for that 
Agreed! But we can only ask.
And we have been listening from the shadows ;-).
I’m happy to report that our software development team has now prioritized the development of the new Velbuslink that will be cross-platform and web-based. However, due to 25 years of backwards compatibility (an absolute requirement for any Velbus development) we don’t expect a public beta before 2027.
In the meantime, a virtual machine with Windows OS is a stable solution to run Velbuslink on Linux or MacOS.
And just to be clear
That doesn’t mean it’s Cloud Based
@VEL342
Am I right in saying it’ll be a Service application, that is accessible from a web browser to the localhost and across the local network.
Sounds great!! I can’t wait to join the tests! Are there any more details you can share? I.e. what’s the plan for hosting the app? All in a browser or a server-in-velbus-network based?
@PrzemoF @MDAR
At the moment, we can’t share additional details yet. What we can confirm is that Velbuslink will always remain usable offline and locally, independent of any other hosting options we may introduce in the future.
Great!
Will it require a Signum as host?
Hi @pdhoogh, a Signum will not be required. You’ll just need a VMBUSB-20 and USB cable to your computer, running a local instance of the software.
That is great! Thanks!
