The application and encrypted data files can be stored on the dongle making them easily portable between computers.
MakeDongle works with QuickLicenseRT Linux. QuickLicense and MakeDongle run on a Mac or Windows computer to produce a dongle and license files. The protected software run on a Linux computer with the dongle installed in any free USB port.
MakeDongle works with DocProtect on Mac, Windows or Linux. DocProtect wraps PDF, Video, Image slide shows or HTML files into a Mac or Windows application. The protected document can be used on any computer when the dongle is present. MakeDongle, DocProtect and QuickLicense can be combined to support other license types and features.
