My CmStick is unreliable

My Codemeter Control Center does not keep my CMStick data so I seem to have to pull it out and plug it in again. The 1 Month interim license is listed although it is passed the end date. I'm not sure if the temporary access is glitching the CMStick or not but it's a pain in the butt fixing it each time. Can anyone help this issue please?

The issue is not the Control Center software, but an unreliable USB port. Given that a common technique among hackers is to reduce the voltage for dongles to create vulnerabilities for attack, CodeMeter immediately shuts down if the voltage drops even minimally below the USB specification. Most USB devices are more tolerant, therefore the bad quality of the USB port is not so obvious to the normal end-user.

I can but recommend to use not the front side USB ports but those on the back that are directly connected to the mainboard, or to use a powered USB hub.
