Yes I did, and at first I was going to comment on it as well, but then decided to leave that option out of my reply because dongles are hardware components and can be moved from one machine to another. If you can ensure that the dongle remains attached to only one machine, then it may be an option. But if someone gains access to the dongle they can plug it into another machine and gain access to run the application on that machine as well. Unless the password is tied to other hardware besides just the dongle, which then leads back to my earlier descriptions. > Short of that, maybe a licensing server, but I don't know > how complex you want your licensing. A lot of systems are moving towards server-based solutions. Personally, I hate them, but if that is how the world is going to start working... :-( Gambit
