Dongles exist soley to protect the intellectual property of the software developer. IMHO, no dongle is best for the end user. it DOES introduce an extra opportunity for equipment failure than can hurt your business. If you go with ANY software that has a dongle make sure you come up with a plan to keep your business running if some thing happens to it. 99% of folks do not think about the dongle until it is lost, stolen, or damaged and unreadable. as long as you actually have it and it works still. There are several dongle duplication businesses that can create a clone of your dongle. I would also have to return the damaged dongle. Onyx is pretty good and has a process for replacing damaged dongles, but it would cost me about $100 and take a couple days. Accidentally I tripped and ended up licking the PC and bent the dongle about 45° almost breaking off the tip that goes into the PC. My RIP Software (Onyx) uses a HASP USB Dongle. You want to have a "business continuity plan" for dealing with a dongle failure. What are your suggestions on cutters/plotters with dongles? Thos without dongles do not have an optical eye. So I decided to look at them and I found dongles. I am unfamiliar with the various brands of cutters./plotters but I am looking into China and Hong Kong made cutters as people I have talked with are generally satisfied wi9th them.
Type in dongle in the search box above and you'll see some of the problems. Since then, Ive heard of problems with dongles. However, the sad fact is no dongle, no software(cannot run).
Maybe we did not follow up hard enough or follwed up with the wrong people. Their windows version was unsuccessful, discontinued, so we switched to another software. The software company soon folded up and was purchased by a Dow Jones subsidiary. They're more like official resellers rather than official distributors or dealers. The dongle "malfunctioned" causing errors but we were unable to get support from the local distributor. Several years ago we bought a $2,000 DOS-based software from a US company that requires a dongle to run.
