Many thanks for that Daniel,

It does seem to be the same problem (BIOAPI + UPEK Driver have failed). I am guessing its a bit of a non-starter then. That is a shame.

I understand all Sony UX models have the same fingerprint reader, so it may be worth adding that to the WIKI.

Kind Regards

Dan

Sony have deliberately restricted the software which can work with these 
sensors. See e.g.

I guess you're hitting the same problem. You could confirm that by 
trying UPEKs own Linux software.
