I am having trouble with
a software that uses a parallel software key. The company that originally
brought this product to market no longer exists. The company that currently
owns the rights to the product says that they will not offer any support
for this product, now or in the future.
My problem is that I've purchased a new PC to run this software and found
it won't function. It seems not to recognize the presence of the parallel
port key. The key has been verified as functional. (It works on my old
386).

I think I have a dongle
that has gone bad. The original software company that made the application
software has gone belly up.

We have some in house
programs here that were created in 1990 in Basic. A gentleman that was here
way back then protected them with a dongle. The bottom line is the
gentleman has left probably 5 years ago and we have not needed the software
in that time. Recently however a need has come up to use this software and
we have not got any of the old software protection and the date has long
expired.

I have a program that
functions with a dongle. I had a real problem. Someone removed the dongle
from the computer and the program would not function. It was very
distressing, until I finally convinced the company and the dealer who sold
me this program, that this happened. After agreeing to pay what I was asked
to pay, I received another copy and a new dongle. I do not want this to
recur.

I have a program which
uses a dongle on the parallel port. I've never had a problem with this, but
still worry that someday the dongle will go south just as I'm about to save
a rush job prior to printing. Do you have software to defeat this?

My friend has a specific
software. He has two hardware dongles that allow him to use the software.
One of his dongles has gone bad. The company that sold him the software
refuses to sell him a dongle -- they say that he must purchase the latest
version and pay 1000$ a year for maintenance to get a new key. They won't
even let him back pay maintenance for his old version. Besides that he
doesn't like the new version as much as the old one he's already been using
and customized to his needs.

We are a contract
evaluation and review lab and provide simulation, compliance and
compatibility testing services to our client base consisting primarily of
significantly sized businesses. The request before us has to do with the
elimination of dongles without violation of the software vendors intent in
employing these devices. The typical environment involves multiple high-end
graphics applications on a single workstation. Daisy-chained dongles and a
wide variety of printing and output requirements create system managers'
nightmares.

I am a registered owner
of my software and am having problems with the security block interfering
with my Epson EPL 7000 printer. Also, I would like to be able to run my
software on a laptop.

We need to protect
ourselves from the possibility of these locks being lost or stolen. If
either of these situations occurs - we have absolutely no backup plan.
