Dongles are awesome!! I work at a biotech company and we purchase a lot of bioprocessing equipment at auctions. Typically the s/w is like $10,000+ so they just sell us the PC with the installed s/w for a couple of hundred. These PCs have like XP era hardware that instantly shits the bed after a few months.
