But, the dongle solution is far more maintainable than than scourge of SysAdmins everywhere, the reviled and hated FlexLM monstrosity.
We actually seriously considered switching to FlexLM at one point, because my partner doesn't like the cost nor lead time of ordering more dongles. I didn't like the need for our customers to have to maintain a FlexLM license server.
Any FlexLM stories you wish to relate? I'd like something to say the next time my business partner asks me to look into FlexLM again.
