hardware dongle Dont work!!!! as a protection scheme :-) programmers just write small patches(Kraks) that disable the part of the application code that looks for the dongle on start up Just ask anybody( off the record) in the lightwave, 3DSMAX, combustion, After effects pro, Apple DVD studio pro etc, etc,, communituies. Many of these Patches originate from the software publishers themselves for in house use to defray the cost of dongleing EVERY machine in the testing department. NO software is hack proof Sorry...... but thats the reality.
