I own four different
hardware parallel port dongles and they all don't work correctly together,
it's starting to get crazy!!! The software manufacturers are each blaming
each other.

I own a legitimate copy
of the software. I have gone through 3 hardware locks and I am awaiting the
arrival of the 4th. I have grown very tired of this. I am trying to find a
way to remove the necessity of the hardware lock.

I am inquiring about
DONGLE-LESS solutions! I currently have hardware locks for 6 or 7 programs.
My only solution up until now was to use a short port extension with the
keys attached (lying on the floor). Even with this mechanical solution,
these keys don't coexist very well. I have told all my tool vendors that
they need to consider dongle-less tools or risk losing me as a customer.

We are using a software
on 486PC's and have recently upgraded to Pentium based machines. Of course,
we discovered that the dongle software timing is critical, and we can't use
our software on machines above 133MHz.

I use a very specialized
and expensive software application that is protected by a dongle on the
parallel port and wish to share this software between two computers at the
same site. I have contacted the software agent who does not have a problem
with using the two computers at the same site but does not know how to link
them up and cannot supply a second dongle without the full price being
paid. I have tried an intelligent peripheral sharer but the software does
not see the dongle.

I recently bought a
software for my tool and die shop that requires a dongle. I hired two new
engineers and they were trained for this job. One did not stay long and the
hardware lock got lost with this operator. Apparently, he stole the key.
Now I have a problem on how to have this software work as the Software
Manufacturer refuses to replace the lost dongle. I was told by the local
agent to buy another copy.

We are using a certain
program and the dongle died. The software company wants us to purchase a
new package, this does not seem reasonable.

Our company has purchased
a software program with the parallel port hardware key. I have been in
contact with the software manufacturer to get it running and as of yet, not
been successful. For some unknown reason, the software cannot find the
hardware key. This is a new, fully licensed copy. I have even went to the
extent of disabling the parallel port on the motherboard and installing a
new card. I'm quite fed up with the key. I have wasted many hours with this
problem.

I use a program that uses
a hardare lock. It worked perfectly for a while and some weeks ago I got a
"Security block missing" message. I read a lot of usernet mail to
learn that I'm not the only one in this situation and the Software Company
don't understand so much what is happening.

What is the cost of your
software that I could use to defeat on my copy of a specific program? The
reason I'm asking is that my computer and software is vulnerable to theft
and I have heard that the Software Manufacturer will not help with
replacement costs if that occurs. I want to keep my dongle in a safe
location with a copy of my software, in case of theft. I can assure you
that my intent is entirely legal.
