It depends on how you define "licensing". Some developers have accepted that
licensing is one machine running the same software at any one time. In other
words, machine A without the hasp cannot run the software while machine B
has the hasp running the software, and vice versa. Hasps are probably not
more popular for this reason.

It is more complex. However, even if you have to install locally, most
machines should support such a thing without additional hardware (e.g.
Windows 2000/XP, Linux, etc).
