I agree w/Dave - just you a SW protection scheme instead of a Physical Dongle. Truth be told - if Hackers want to - they can hack anything. Why pay for an overhead expense like a Physical Dongle - because - they can STILL be Hacked! Years ago - the main 3D SW I use - 3DS Max - they used to use Physical Dongles. But, in effect - it was pointless. At one point - they claim on the Internet was that 3DS Max was the MOST Pirated SW in the world. So - obviously - the expense of Dongle proved Fruitless for Autodesk.
Just sayin'...
