JYT Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Is it at all possible to load the dongle key onto a standard USB memory stick? I have lost the dongle so many times now, a memory stick on a leach and wrapped around my head will do the trick and I won't be embarrased when I show up to a focus call without it.

propstuff Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) I certainly understand the problem. I have "solved" it with string ;-) but having a copy-able dongle completely defeats the point of having a dongle doesn't it? Edited July 4, 2007 by propstuff Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 There's a hole in the end of the dongle, like most USB devices, of which you could add a split keyring, or something of the likes. Quote Link to comment
JYT Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 >>I have "solved" it with string ;-) Touche. :-) I thought the "key" was in the code and not in the dongle proper. I'll just have to pay more attention... which is asking alot. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
propstuff at MJLA Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 The trick is to remember to hang on to the end of the piece of string. :-) I can tell you it's dull to arrive at work only to realise that the dongle is staying at home having a holiday that day. {:-/ The new style of dongle has a very small hole with very little plastic around it. It wouldn't take much of a split ring at all. I got a bit of stainless steel fishing trace and swivel, and stuck it to the dongle with a big blob of epoxy, then clipped it to the laptop power cord. Agricultural, but robust. :-) Quote Link to comment
