Dave! Software manufacturers have been using dongles for years that I
know of. I don't know when JAWS started using one. Window Eyes has used
one for several years. I believe that you have to keep the dongle in while
you're using JAWS. From the prospective of the user there's no advantage.
It's a copy protection scheme and as all copy protection schemes it's
awkward and cumbersome. It's mostly used with American made software when
the software is being used in other countries that don't have strong
software piracy laws.
