Rename AnywhereUSB® Plus Hubs, groups, and USBdevices
Each AnywhereUSB® Plus Hub and group has a default name that displays in the AnywhereUSB
Manager. You can also assign a local name to each Hub, group, or USB device that displays in the
AnywhereUSB Manager, which can help you to uniquely identify your local Hubs, groups, and USB
devices.
The local name is local to the computer on which the AnywhereUSB Manager is running. No other
user can see the local name.
