WHAT IS A DONGLE!!!!
WHAT IS A DONGLE? A DONGLE IS A SMALL PIECE OF HARDWARE THAT CONNECTS TO THE COMPUTER. THE USUAL FUNCTUON OF A DONGLE IS TO AUTHENTICATE A PIECE OF SOFWARE. WITHOUT THE DONGLE, THE SOFWARE WILL RUNE ONLY IN A RESTRICTED MODE, OR NOT AT ALL. DONGLES ARE USE BY SOME PROPIETARY AS A FORM OF COPY PREVENTION OR DIGITAL RIGHTS MANEGEMENT, BECAUSE IS MUCH HARDER TO COPY A DONGLE THEN TO COPY THE SOFWARE IT AUTHENTICATES. DESPITE BEING HARDWARE,HOWEVER, DONGLES ARE NOT A COMPLITE TRUSTED SOLUTION TO THE CLIEN PROBLEM. VENDORS OF SOFWARE-PROTECTION DONGLES (AND DONGLE -CONTROLLED-SOFWARE) OFTEN USE TERMS SUCH AS HARDWARE KEYS, HARWARE TOKEN, OR SECURITY DEVICE INSTEAD OF DONGLES IS IT LEGAL? YES IS 100% LEGAL THE PURPOSE OF THIS DONGLE IS TO RECIVE WEATHER FORECASTS AND MANY COCL GAMES THAT WILL BE ADDED SOON. WHAT DOES THIS DO WITH MY COOLSAT FTA RECEIVER? THE DONGLE CONECTS TO THE COOLSAT RECEIVER AND ALLOWS THE RECEIVER TO CONECT TO THE INTERNET TO RECEIVE UPDATES, WEATHER INF. AND MUCH MORE.
