Copy USB dongles with just a couple of clicks!

Users often need the ability to remotely connect to a licensed copy protection USB dongle. They may need to use the functionality of the protected software but be unable to physically connect to the dongle. If you are in this situation, you may be asking yourself if it’s possible to copy a USB security dongle.

The answer to that question is "Yes" if you are using a USB dongle copying solution like Donglify.

What is Donglify?

Donglify is a software solution that enables users to virtually copy a USB dongle key which eliminates the need to physically connect to the device. Donglify lets you make a copy of a USB dongle so it can be shared with any network-connected machine.

Let’s investigate the features of this dongle copying solution.

  1. The software offers the ability to connect to multiple machines simultaneously when using a copy protection dongle. You can use the software to access a dongle from either a single computer or multiple machines at the same time, making it a flexible solution for diverse technical teams.

If your virtual machine does not recognize the physical dongle, you can create a virtual security key with this dongle copying software solution. You just need to install Donglify on both the host and guest operating systems.
