There are many software protection dongles on the market, but not all of them are driverless. So what is “driverless” and what are the advantages?

We call “driverless” a device that doesn’t require the installation of drivers to be used on a computer. Actually, it is because these drivers are generic drivers already included in the operating system. Many USB devices use this generic driver provided by the operating to facilitate the use of the device for users.

In the case of software protection dongles, most of problems are caused by the driver and cost a lot of time to technical support team. That’s why driverless dongles are interesting, saving time for client and for the dongle provider. Also, the final user will just have to plug the dongle in his computer and launch the software to be able to use it, no long and sometimes troublesome process of driver installation.

So, if you plan to choose a dongle to protect your software and don’t want to spend your whole time solving driver problems, just make sure to choose a driverless protection dongle!
