Must we purchase USB dongle with valid node-lock license?

[norihiromichiga]

Hello,

Sorry for my entry level question, but when we purchase USB dongle for CW for PPC (P/N: CWH-DONGLE),

we must purchase node-lock license also (such as CWP-BASIC-NL, CWP-PRO-NL).

This understanding is correct?

And if we already have a valid license for CW and we already activated it for ordinary volume serial number of HDD,

can we re-activate this license for USB dongle if we just purchase USB dongle? 

Of course, we must discard our current volume serial number based license.dat file if FSL allows us for this license type change.

Thanks,

Norihiro Michigami
