one dongle on 2 computers Frank Oz 03-17-2006

I have a program for which I have to use a security key (dongle).

I would like to use the program on two computers using only the "one"
dongle.

The computers are side by side.

I have a netgear router with printer port, fitting the dongle to this port
doesn't give me any result.

I have no objection to buy an other router if that will solve the problem.



Any advice would be most welcome

Forget the idea. It can't be done and that's why an external hardware key is
used. You'll
need to buy another license which will provide you with another key.

It won't

What you are describing seems to be a parallel port dongle and it must
be connected to a real port on the machine.

If you fit an AB switch you can use it on both machines but not
obviously at the same time.

If you need to use it on both concurrently, buy another licence
which is why the supplier uses a dongle.
