Wound up trading in our keys for USB keys.

Which software is it?  Generally you can contact the vendor, and work 
out an exchange for the USB version of the hardware key.  We have 
done it with both ESRI and ERDAS Imagine.



I can't imagine it working in this case either, but the vendor isn't 
going to support USB (go figure) so the customer is stuck

A lot of the other things I have seen are USB to parallel CABLES - 
meaning that you don't get a port but you plug the cable directly to 
the printer.

Has anyone seen a USB to Parallel adapter that will give an LPT port

connect a dongle to it for software copy protection?
