How do you run a software that's bundled with a dongle without the dongle?

Software with DongleSoftware companies such as Avid, uses a dongle (external hardware) to process data in order to ease up resources from your computer's cpu. The software requiring the dongle, is configured with the dongle in place. The software will install on one's computer, but will not run without the dongle. Last is that licensed software uses part of it's "licensing verification process" to protect it's software in the event it is stolen and installed on another computer, disables it from running, without the dongle. Hope this helps.


What is a AR2 dongle?

A dongle is a device that is attached to a computer's I/O (input/output) port to release access or operation of software or hardware. Without a dongle, the software or hardware is rendered useless. The term "AR2" means "Action/Replay 2", a feature used in video games to store game play, codes, characters etc. Closest match is a memory card. So, putting the two together, an AR2 dongle is hardware that unlocks features or play of game software.


You are the legal owner of a software which came with a dongle can you change the computer hardware motherboard CPU ram graphics retaining hard disk and use them with dongle to run the software?

Maybe - it depends on what the dongle uses for determining legal use of the program. Normally software protected with a dongle doesn't rely on binding to machine characteristics like CPU serial number because it's using the dongle for verification that the license is valid. One of the advantages of using a dongle, in fact, is the portability of the license from one machine to another. Of course, not all vendors do it this way.

How do you rip dongs off of a device onto your computer?

Your question is puzzling. Perhaps you are asking about "dongles". Many software applications use hardware "dongles" to prevent multiple copies from being used when someone purchases a single copy of software. You can read a little more about dongles at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongle Since the purpose of the dongle is to prevent software piracy, it's presence will be necessary for the software to run. At runtime the application sends out a query to the dongle and expects a specific response. If the response is not received, the software will refuse to function properly, if at all.
