LightWave 3D [7.5] FAQs
  Dongle/Hardware Lock
    Why does LightWave require a dongle?

LightWave makes use of a dongle as part of it's protection against software piracy. However, there is a secondary reason for the dongle. By using a dongle to key from, LightWave provides something no other 3D program does, portability.

Other 3D applications key off an element of your computer system, meaning that they can only be used on that particular computer. Since LightWave keys off of a dongle, you can install and run LightWave on any number of machines, as long as the dongle is attached to that computer while using the software. You can install it at home, on your notebook, and at work, all at the same time. All you have to do is transfer the dongle from machine to machine.
