Ray,

It seems you either misread Henry's message or chose to, and Henry
didn't get the answers to his questions in the process.

The answer to all the questions is that there is exactly one unique
"dongle" sold with each correspondingly encoded program copy.  This
technique enforces the concept of that program copy in execution on
one machine at a time.  Implicit is the right to run that one copy on
*any* machine you choose, including taking the program and the dongle
home if company policy allows it.

Next time you wish to respond with a tirade, stop.  Read the message
several times and then consider if your response is appropriate.
Yours wasn't, and you owe Henry an apology.

--Frank
