Your Vera purchase includes a ZWave dongle, which must remain plugged into the back of Vera for Vera's ZWave functions to work. You do not need to do anything for the dongle to work with Vera.
If you want to use the dongle separately from Vera, or purchased an extra dongle on its own, you will need the appropriate CP210x USB-RS232 drivers for your operating system. They are available here: https://www.silabs.com/products/interface/usbtouart/Pages/default.aspx
Once the drivers are installed, the dongle should show up as a COM port or serial device. Then any software designed to work with the ZWave serial API, such as ControlThink, HomeSeer, etc., should work fine. Windows users may need to edit the port settings and set them to Bits per second: 115200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow Control: none
