0 Guest Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yes. It's a key to unlock the program so you can use it. Quote Link to comment
0 KOLT Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Too bad. I just bougt a bluetooth mouse so that I wouldn't have to use any wireless system wich requires some kind of ugly external reciever. Now I have to use the donglekey instead! Baaad! And what if i forget the dongle or it gets lost? I'm a bit disapointed about that stupid dongle!!! I shouldn't be nessesary! Quote Link to comment
0 alanmac Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Kolt I've got the dongle plugged in the back of my computer in a usb port and you never see it unless you look around the back of the machine. Can't you do this? It does not have to be plugged in at a visible location and its a key that the program looks for upon starting Vectorworks. The only time it may cause a problem and this goes for some other usb devices, is if you plug it into a hub but I've not used one like that so never experienced a problem of that type. Unplugging it ever time and putting it somewhere safe may be a good option but I'm more worried about constant wear and maybe the connections getting damaged over time so leave it in place.
