License in a dongle: Highest grade of security
For the highest level of security of software protection, we recommend a dongle. The core of our hardware secure elements is a Infineon smart card chip, which includes a microcontroller with a secure storage area for cryptographic keys and the firmware.
Using dongles is the quickest solution to implement on a small scale and give the highest security guarantees available. It is easy to transfer a license from one machine to another and if a system crashes the license inside the dongle does not break. Dongles also offer an easy way to deliver a license to offline systems.
No drivers needed
Our dongles are enabled with two communication interfaces: Human Interface Device (HID) or Mass Storage Device (MSD). Therefore, no additional drivers are required, and the user can connect to a PC and use a dongle without having administrator privileges.OTA updates
Firmware and licenses in the dongle can be updated over the air, or offline.Many form factors available
Given the great diversity in devices and interfaces, we offer our dongles in many variants, such as usb-a, usb-c, SD, ASIC and more ..
