A virtual dongle is a software program designed to emulate a dongle or hardware key. Used in software copy protection, virtual dongles allow the user to access multiple dongle-dependent programs without the necessity of a physical hardware key for each software program. If a dongle is required to run software, that means a portable device equipped with unlocking information needs to be plugged into the computer for the software to run. Because dongles are usually only required on high-end specialized programs, most computer users are unlikely to encounter a program that needs a dongle.

Dongles are used to control software piracy. Software piracy occurs when a program is distributed without the consent of the company that holds the software copyright. The software programs used to design and create media are expensive and prone to theft and copying, and the company does not get paid for its work when programs are distributed without their knowledge. Dongles protect the software program from piracy by blocking its use when a dongle is not in the computer.
Programs that require dongles are usually high-end, professional design or production programs. Dongles make an appearance in software used in creating video, designing theater productions, recording and editing audio, and designing buildings. Examples of programs that require dongles include Pro Tools and Vectorworks.
Creating a virtual dongle requires the use of a software program called an emulator. These programs use software to imitate the function of a device or another software system. An emulator imitates the function of the portable dongle, essentially tricking the computer into thinking a hardware key is plugged into a computer port.
A virtual dongle can work without taking up a plug, which frees up Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports for other devices. Traveling computer users can avoid the clutter of carrying several portable dongles for multiple software programs. Using a virtual dongle also helps protect the original dongle from damage, theft or loss.
Both virtual dongle and physical hardware key systems suffer incompatibility issues. While many dongles have built-in plugs that allow the user to stack multiple dongles in one USB port, conflict issues can cause one or more of the dongles to malfunction. When facing compatibility problems with hardware dongles, switching some of your hardware keys to emulated virtual dongles may fix the malfunction. Likewise, when an emulated dongle does not work, switching back to the hardware key may be necessary.
@jennythelib - I'm not sure if virtual dongles are used for piracy, but my understanding is that pirated software tends to simply omit the part of the code that makes it look for the dongle in the first place. jennythelib June 16, 2011 Can a virtual dongle be used in piracy? It seems like anything that enables you to avoid the physical usb dongle or whatever would be a key feature in piracy. The word \"emulator\" reminds me of those video game emulators you used to be able to download to play Nintendo, etc. games on your computer.I'm also thinking of those websites that sell phony software installation codes using a random number generator.

I'd guess that if they bothered to lock it down to a machine with a USB dongle, then they've probably also put in checks to ensure you're not trying to run it on an Remote Desktop Services (RDS) server, which is what your work machine effectively is when you RDP into it. An RDS server allows multiple people to log into a single machine (where the dongle would be plugged in), and each could have their own session where they could run the software. In turn, avoiding paying the proper licencing.
Our team provide different types of services such as: - proffessional cracking of any kind of software (CAD,CAM,CAE,EDA,GIS,PCB,FEA,FEM,CNC,CFD,PDS,3D,Optics etc.) designed for any kind of operating systems(Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP, Linux, FreeBSD, OS/2, MAC OS etc.) - producing keygens, licenses for different proctection systems (FlexLM, SentinelLM, ElanLM, CrypKey, etc.) - producing emulators for any kind of dongles (SentinelPro, SentinelSuperPro, Hasp4, Hardlock, WIBU, Guardant, etc.) - quality reverse engineering (decompilation of programs, algorithms reconstruction, etc.) - any other reverse engineering services... Also we have an excellent relationship with all our customers and we always happy to help them solve their problems. Our skills and experince will help you make a valuable conribution to your business. All soft we offer have been completely cracked and tested carefully by expert in corresponding field.All programs are full copies of originals (not demo, evaluation, trial or educational version) including English or multilanguage tutorial and crack or license file that makes program work as registered software from the house. Here is just a part of our software list.For getting the additional information, view our software list and ordering programs just visit our WEBSITE: >> Contact e-mail: support@softstore.org or softstore2005@yahoo.com Here is an example of the most popular offered latest software: 12D MODEL V6.0 3Ci GeometryWorks 3D For SolidWorks v3.2 3Ci GW3Dfeatures For SolidWorks v5 3DALIENS GLU3D V13.05 FOR MAYA 6.5 3dBurst 2004 v1.0 for AutoCAD AAS MIDUSS V2.0 Abbund Master Edition v20.1 ABCOM Datamanager v5.05 For AutoCAD ACCEL RYS MATERIALS STUDIO V3.2 Accelerated Designs UltraLibrarian Gold 2.0.82 Actel Designer v6.2 Actel Designer v6.3 Ada-ASSURED v3.5 ADAPTSOFT ADAPT BUILDER V1.5 ADAPTSOFT ADAPT BUILDER V1.5.4 ADAPTSOFT ADAPT PT V7.0 ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE PREMIUM EDITION V2.0 ADOBE INCOPY CS2 V4.0 AEGIS CIRCUITCAM SUITE V5.0 AGILENT ADVANCED DESIGN SYSTEM 2005A Agilent IC-CAP 2004 Aglent RFDE2004A Aldec Active HDL v6.3 Aldec Active HDL v6.3 SP1 Aldec Active HDL v7.1 Aldec Riviera v2004.12.1684 ALGOR Designcheck v18.0 ALIAS IMAGE STUDIO V2.1 Alias I-Run v3.4.5 Alias I-Sketch v2.5.1.2 Alias Maya MasterClasses 2005 ALIAS MOTION BUILDER PRO V7.0 Alias SketchBook Pro v2 Build.166043 Alias Spoolgen v5.0 Align And Space2004 v1.1 for AutoCAD ALTAIR HYPERWORKS V7.0 SP1 ALTERA QUARTUS II V4.2 SP1 Altera Quartus II v5.0 ALTERA QUARTUSII V5.0 Altium DXP 2004 SP2 ALTIUM DXP SUITE V2004 SP2 Analog Devices VisualDSP Plus Plus v4.0 ANALYTICAL GRAPHICS STK PRO V6.1 Anasoft Helena v1.0.1 Anova Ambiente v4.8.6 Ansoft AnsoftLinks V3.0 Ansoft Designer V2.1 Ansoft Maxwell V10 ANSOFT OPTIMETRICS 2.5 Ansoft Q3D V6.0 Ansoft Siwave v2.0 ANSYS BLADE MODELER V10.0 ANSYS CFX V10.0 ANSYS CFX V5.7.1 SP1 ANSYS ICEM CFD V5.1 ANSYS ICEMCFD 10.0 ANSYS MULTIPHYSICS V10.0 ANSYS TURBOGRID V10.0 ANSYS TURBOGRID V2.2.1 ANSYS V9.0 SP1 ANSYS WORKBENCH SUITE V9.0 SP1 ANSYS WORKBENCH V10.0 Applied Flow Technology Arrow v3.0 2005.01.05 Applied Flow Technology Arrow v3.0.2004 12.13 Applied Flow Technology Fathom v6.0.2004.12.27 Applied Flow Technology Impulse v3.0.2004.12.10 Applied Flow Technology Impulse v3.0.2005.01.10 Aptech GAUSS Data Tool v7.0.10.402 Aptech GAUSS Data Tool v7.0.10.405 Aptech GAUSS Data Tool v7.0.11.493 Aptech GAUSS Engine v7.0.10.402 Aptech GAUSS Engine v7.0.10.405 Aptech GAUSS Engine v7.0.11.493 Aptech GAUSS v7.0.10.402 Aptech GAUSS v7.0.10.405 Aptech GAUSS v7.0.11.493 ARCGIS DESKTOP V9 SP3 Arriba CA3D v23.1.137 ARTWORK CONVERSION GDSPLOT V5.35a ARTWORK CONVERSION NETEX-G V1.24B Ashlar Vellum Cobalt v7.2R2 ASPENTECH ASPEN PIMS V2004 ATIR STRAP V11.5 Aucotec Elcad Aucoplan v7.3 AUTODESK ARCHITECTURAL DESKTOP V2006 Autodesk Autocad 2006 AUTODESK AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL V2006 AUTODESK AUTOCAD LT V2005 AUTODESK AUTOCAD MECHANICAL V2006 AUTODESK BUILDING SYSTEMS V2006 AUTODESK CIVIL 3D V2006 AUTODESK CIVIL DESIGN COMPANION V2006 AUTODESK DWF COMPOSER V2.0 AUTODESK INVENTOR PROFESSIONAL V10.0 AUTODESK INVENTOR SERIES V10 AUTODESK LAND DESKTOP V2006 AUTODESK MAP 3D V2006 AUTODESK MECHANICAL DESKTOP V2006 AUTODESK MECHANICAL V2006 Autodesk Productstream v4 AUTODESK RASTER DESIGN V2006 AUTODESK REVIT BUILDING V8.0 AUTODESK REVIT BUILDING V8.1 AUTODESK SURVEY V2006 AUTODESK TOXIK V1.0 AUTODESK TOXIK V1.1 AUTODESK VAULT V4 Autodesk VIZ v2006 Autodsys ArchT 2004 DC 2005.04.14 Autodsys IntelliCAD v5.1.5.05 Pro Plus AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite v2004.25 AutoTRAX EDA v3.12 AutoXlsTable v2.53 for AutoCAD 2006 AVID ALIENBRAIN STUDIO V7.1.1 AVID XPRESS PRO HD V5.1.5 AWR microwave office 2004 Batch ScriptProcessor v3.08forAutoCAD BeamPROP v5.1.9 vs Fullwave v3.0.9 BENTLEY Architecture v8.05.02.13 BENTLEY Architecture v8.05.03.49 BENTLEY AUTOPIPE V08.05.01.11 BENTLEY AUTOPLANT STRUCTURAL V08.06.00.11 BENTLEY Building Electrical Systems v8.05.03.10 BENTLEY Descartes v8.05.02.25 BENTLEY HVac v8.05.02.20 BENTLEY Hvac v8.05.03.42 BENTLEY IRASB v8.05.02.27 BENTLEY IRASB v8.05.02.35 BENTLEY JPEG2000 Support for MicroStation Bentley MicroStation J v07.01.05.03 BENTLEY MicroStation PDF Composer v08.05.02
