Hi,
A dongle-based license is a special type of node-locked license, in which the license is locked to the FlexID of a USB licensing dongle. This license permits a customer to install the development tools on any machine and the tools will operate only when the dongle is physically attached to the machine. Customers who use this license type want more flexibility than with a Node-Locked license, but still want their development team to be able to develop without being connected to the network.
Risks to this license is the loss of the Dongle (small USB connected device), which requires a customer to repurchase a new dongle. The flexibility for sharing is more limited than with Floating licenses, but more flexible than Node-Locked licenses. To order a dongle-based license, order the node-locked option for your CodeWarrior suite and also order the USB licensing dongle (CWH-DONGLE). http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=USB-LICENSE-DONGLE.
