Dear Gid Staff,
we’ve followed your suggestions but it still doesn’t work, please let me
know how a workaround. Maybe just convert to machine license (it would be
a pity).
Best regards
Hi,
a clarification:
in /media you can find the contents of the usb drive, but GiD needs
actually
to look into /proc/bus/usb/devices to get the serial number of the usb
device, which is where all the information about the usb device (not its
data) is.

Maybe this F.A.Q. answer your question:
(http://www.gidhome.com/component/manual/21079?id=21079)
GiD doesn’t detect the USB memory stick
When oppening the “Help - Register GiD …”, if some USB memory stick is
plugged, a “Sysinfo selection” window must be opened to ask the user which
device can be registered.
in some Linux distributions (e.g. Suse 10.x) the USB device is not
detected,
and this “Sysinfo selection” is not opened.
This is because /proc/bus/usb is not automatically mounted, it can be
manually mounted (as root user) with
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
Note: It’s possible to automatize it adding to the /etc/fstab file
something
like this:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
Note: OpenSuSE 10.2 does not have this support by default and the kernel
should be recompiled or a patch should be applied. More information can be
_found here: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:VMware_-_USB_support_
_http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:VMware_-_USB_support_
Note: Ubuntu 8.04.1 does not mount /proc/bus/usb automatically, so it
should
be done by hand or added to the /etc/fstab file, as explained above.

Dear GiD Staff,
I’ve install GiD 10 under ubuntu 10 in /opt folder. I have a usb
license,
I cannot register because GiD is trying to look up for my usb device in
/proc/bus/usb while all my pendrives are listed in /media.
What should I do?
Thanks
