99% of dongles are not tied to the specific copy of software. They are just
like a serial number for Windows, any dongle for your program should unlock
any install of it. Obviously with a dongle you can only run one at a time,
which is the whole idea.
They were popular for a while, but are rarely used lately. There were
usually workarounds ("cracks") for popular programs like Autocad that used
them. There isn't any generic workaround but it's not terrifically hard to
find the authorization code in a binary if you have the time to look for it
and a disassembler. Definitely that would be against the license rules and
maybe against the law.
