From the JAWS help topic on dongle authorization: "
Dongle Authorization
A dongle is a hardware device that you can connect to a computer's parallel
or USB port (depending on the type of dongle). JAWS is authorized to run on
that computer as long as the dongle remains connected. This is useful if you
frequently need to use JAWS on many different computers and do not want to
activate the program on each of them.
When JAWS starts, it first determines whether a dongle is connected to the
computer. If one is connected, JAWS uses the features and information for
the license associated with the dongle to authorize JAWS. If no dongle is
connected, JAWS searches for the license information stored on the computer.
You can use the Dongle Viewer utility to view information on the license
associated with the dongle currently connected to your computer. To start
this utility, go to the JAWS program group, open the Tools submenu, and
choose Dongle Viewer.
Note: It is recommended that you do not connect the dongle to your computer
until after you install JAWS. If the dongle was connected before or during
installation, you must restart your computer to receive proper
authorization.
Dongles are sold separately or as an additional JAWS feature. Contact
Freedom Scientific Sales if you want to purchase one.
Note: Certain international versions of JAWS require a dongle for
authorization. Using one of these versions without a dongle displays an
error message.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] JAWS Dongle
I just received my JAWS Dongle from FS today and wondered if someone could
tell me exactly how it works or point me to some documentation on-line to
read.
I purchased the usb version.
Thanks.
