GstarCAD's USB dongle for portability of license
Now its great pleasure for CAD users that they can carry their CAD license anywhere. Portability of license is a major issue for those whose workplace is changing as per customers need or application.
GstarCAD8 is having the correct solution for this problem. You can install GstarCAD on all your workplace but your license will be activated only when you connect USB dongle to the PC.
Many site engineers whose work is partially at site or at clients end and partially at office can avail this facility at very low cost.
This USB license is available in standard and professional version of GstarCAD.
While communicating with many CAD users it is observed that this is very useful tool for many small scale industries.
The main disadvantage of this dongle is that if you lost or stolen it can not be traced out.
