Software with DongleSoftware companies such as Avid, uses a dongle (external hardware) to process data in order to ease up resources from your computer's cpu. The software requiring the dongle, is configured with the dongle in place. The software will install on one's computer, but will not run without the dongle. Last is that licensed software uses part of it's "licensing verification process" to protect it's software in the event it is stolen and installed on another computer, disables it from running, without the dongle. Hope this helps.
