| | Dongle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A dongle is a small hardware device that connects to a computer to authenticate some piece of software. | | | Dongles are used by some proprietary vendors as a form of copy prevention or digital rights management because it is much harder to copy the dongle than to copy the software it authenticates. | | | WORDCRAFT was the first program to use a software protection dongle, in 1980. |

| | Halfbakery: copy protection dongle |
| | "Dongle" in this sense, [bliss], is also known as a "hardware key," a physical device that you must install on one of the connectors of your computer in order to run a protected piece of software. | | | More protection is possible if the software and the CPU that runs it are physically protected, but that means shipping a computer along with the software to be protected, which is really expensive (you'd like to sell a game for $40 but the computer needed to run it costs $2000). | | | The biggest difficulty in designing a copy-protection dongle is making perform a function which varies in an unpredictable way with user data, but which is essential to a program's operation, and yet which does not require use of too large a data set. |

| | A dongle or software enabler key is a piece of hardware that can be connected to the computer. | | | The dongle turns the registered applications and databases on a computer into fully enabled versions, if and when it is physically connected to the computer. | | | Look if the dongle is connected to the port with the correct side; on the dongle it says on one side "computer" and on the other side "printer". |

| | In addition, since the dongle sits in a strategic position on the computer, it may be blamed for problems caused by other components of a specific PC configuration. | | | For example: printing, accessing the dongle and accessing peripherals connected to the parallel port may all cause the computer to hang. | | | USB dongles are smaller and should resolve parallel port conflicts which can occur especially with Windows 2000 and certain settings on network cards. |

| | The original use of the computer term is for a copy protection device that attaches to an I/O port of a computer. | | | The software could be distributed freely, but people had to pay for the dongle to make it work. | | | The origin, and this is a guess but one that I am pretty confident of, is that it is a combination of "dong" and "dangle:" a thing that hangs off the computer like a penis. |
