Dongle maker

"The release of CMS IntelliCAD 14 includes a new DIY option for all v14 users to install a CMS IntelliCAD 14.0 license directly onto a USB flash drive. This can be done using our free USB Dongle Maker tool" Does it means that I can install the program on two computers and I can use that one, in which I have the dongle plugged in actually? It works this way in the case of many other programs. For example I have to work on two different computers every week. It would be really good to use the CMS Intellicad on both of them.

I have found some previous comments in the topic from the CMS Intellicad admins.

"If an user needs to run our software on multiple machines then we provide the CMS IntelliCAD PE PLUS USB DONGLE licenses. Shifting the USB Dongle to another machine will license such machine to run CMS IntelliCAD PE PLUS Software.
Starting from CMS IntelliCAD 10.1, PE PLUS only, we also provide users the option to, locally, generate a USB dongle using the license "activation key" and the FREE USB Dongle Maker tool we provide at our online store.
So yes , an unique user can run a CMS IntelliCAD 11.1 PE PLUS license on 2 or more machines as longas as you're using a USB Dongle."


and

"No, users cannot have the same standalone digital license installed on 2 systems even if not used simultaneously.
Users can only have our software installed on multiple machines with a CMS IntelliCAD PE PLUS USB Dongle license or a Network license.
CMS IntelliCAD 12 PE PLUS standalone users can freely convert a digital license in to a USB Dongle license as long as they have an activation left in the license.
Please refer to the USB dongle Maker tool freely available at our online store."


Regardless, I would like to have an official confirmation.

I’ll continue the conversation with myself here...
I created the hardware key (dongle) despite receiving no replies to my earlier posts. The creation of the hardware key was successful by following the steps described on the website. However, when opening the program, it makes no difference whether the hardware key is connected or not. It still asks for an activation code. (I don’t want to provide this, since that would tie the registration to the computer. Not to mention that I’ve already used up one of the two activation options for the first year when creating the hardware key.) After closing the window, the program starts in demo mode and periodically reminds me to purchase the program in order to continue using it. Of course, I’ve already purchased it — I just need to let the program know somehow. I’ve sent my question to all the email addresses of CMS Intellicad, but so far, I haven’t received a response. Besides the administrators, I’d also be interested in the experiences of other users!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Finally it works. The poor quality of my pendrive was the problem. (It was a promotional gift.) With a new Samsung pendrive everything works properly. A CMS Intellicad employee helped me find the solution via email, for which I am very grateful.
