Why many users still ask for software come with dongle license

Share my knowledge with you all, that is the reasons behind why you should get a dongle usb key while purchase a set of software or may be in this way more appropriate, which is why many end users still want the software usb key come along when they buy the software.

1. They want is for the confidence, in future the dongle could be a proof of purchase (something tangible) of the software if any goes wrong instead of current they just based on invoice, some software not even come with the installer CD-ROM and packaging anymore, who they can trust?

For example in Malaysia, start from year2014 recently everyone is looking for the Government Approve GST software, so everybody also claim they are authorize dealer for accounting software with government approval. So when rushing to be compliant, sometime the end user will be mislead by those unethical seller, bought something whichis not compliant to GST rule, at last the software end user become the victim of the fake GST software or pirated GST software which not official from the official software vendor. 

2. Easy on migration - with the software dongle USB key license, the user are more easy to migrate from 1 PC to another PC, so in the case hard disc corruption, the user can easy to install their software to another PC/laptop, then use it,no need to wait for new license key issuing. This is essential important for the business process software such as Point of sale (POS) software, accounting software etc

3. They don't want their staff simply copy the software and use or too easy to access the software without the authorization. The software i refer here could be software priced from $500 up to $200000 or higher value high end software
