įirst totally dumb thing: The software is specifically designed to work with the cnc router, so I cannot fathom why it needs to be protected by a dongle. I have contacted the suppliers of the machine and they have no intention of releasing win 7 drivers for the dongle. The drivers for the dongle do not work under win 7. The software is pretty basic and I am sure that it would work perfectly on win 7 except for one thing: The router plugs in via USB and the software creates the specific file and puts it onto the router's flash storage. I have this piece of software that transfers a file from my pc to my cnc router.

Or just for fun, try and check if someone already has a cracked version floating around, it is dos after all.Īlso, the links that k2k2000 posted don't seem to be working anymore (I had those same ones bookmarked too) here are the ones that still work. If you are unsure of the dongle type, the first thing that I would do is carefully cut or crack the case open and look for identification marks. Pretty sure that DESkey provided that type of protection for DOS applications. It could also just have a wrapper around it for the dongle protection that checks to see the dongle is present and then allows the application to run. If that turns out to be the case, it will be necessary to disassemble the application code and find the checks. However, my money is on these not working anyway because the application is probably using built in code to access the dongle. I take it that the dongle is HASP/Hardlock or at least it looks like one otherwise I think that you are fighting a loosing battle with the available dongle cloning tools.
