As I receive more high-end audio software for review, the copy-protection dongles have been multiplying annoyingly. Swapping them in and out as I launched various programs and plug-ins was becoming a hassle. In one case, a program crashed the computer when I inadvertently quit it while its dongle was unplugged.
Thanks to a tiny USB hub I picked up at the Game Developers Conference last week (one of the better pieces of swag I’ve received), I can now plug once and get to work without doing the dongle shuffle.
Plug once, launch anywhere: Dongles for Arturia Brass, BIAS Peak Pro, and Antares AVOX now coexist efficiently.
It sure would be nice to have a universal dongle, though, or an even smaller hub. Suggestions, anyone?

We are addressing the problem of IP protection of:
a. published softwares
b. documents
with a software solution.
The solution enables one time licensing / subscription based licensing/ usage based licensing of your IP. The solution is coupled with an entire ecosystem offering web and sms based distribution of licenses. (ofcourse - one license can work only on one machine - machine need not be online to allow the usage of your IP)
The solution needs no extra coding and programming efforts for IP publisher - and hence make it a one click secure solution.
Feel free to touch base with me to get more information.
Ha! I've been doing the same for crypto tokens for over 3 years. :-)
