While technically feasible, bypassing dongle protection carries significant risks:
Some vendors offer "insurance" where they will ship a replacement key for a small fee if you can prove the original is broken.
A dongle acts as a physical "lock." When the software starts, it sends a query to the USB port. The dongle processes this query using internal algorithms and returns an encrypted response. If the response matches what the software expects, the program unlocks.
