Question:	What is a dongle?
Answer:	A dongle is a hardware-based security device that attaches to the USB or parallel printer port of a computer. It is a hardware key that uses codes and passwords embedded inside the key to control access to software applications. A software program intergrated with a dongle will only run when that dongle is attached to the computer.   Most dongles are fully transparent, which means a printer cable or other dongles can be attached together in a "daisy-chain", without interfering with the dongles functionality or information exchange. Dongles can be used to protect valuable source codes, sensitive text information, and data files.   Memo HASP for parallel port  Memo HASP for USB port  Hardlock  Hardlock  MARX
