The point of a dongle is to allow a copy of JAWS on a particular computer to run without an ILM authorization. For example, you could have 10 computers, each with JAWS installed, but you're limited to 3 ILM authorizations. For the other 7 computers, you would walk up to it, plug in the dongle, and then you can run JAWS on that computer without being in 40-minute demo mode. Remove the dongle, and it's back to 40-minute demo mode.
The dongle does not have a copy of JAWS on it -- it only removes the need for the ILM authorization. I find it most useful when JAWS decides to completely crash on a Friday night, and I have no ILM authorizations remaining. If I didn't have the dongle, I'd be stuck with 40-minute mode until the next business day. The dongle allows me to get back to work. I carry it with me on trips, for that very reason -- emergency authorization. Don't confuse the dongle with the thumb drive version of JAWS.
