This Software using Aladdin Hardlock, the dongle has been virtualized upon our Customer contact us. Our customer’s complaint was that the software he used as LPT sometimes had a contactless problem. During the calculation, the communication of the dongle with the operating system was interrupted, so the calculations were interrupted. Our customer, who complained a lot about this situation. Now works with the dongle we virtualized without the need for any hardware. He informed us by e-mail that he was very satisfied and happy.

Aladdin Hardlock dongle usually works as a parallel port, that is LPT, and dongles with this LPT become unusable as time passes, as there are no ports to be installed on new computers, unfortunately.
In this case, there are 2 options. 1. You can request a USB dongle from the software company or request the virtualization of this dongle from our company.
