software dongle
Llave informática


Explanation:
Se trata de un dispositivo físico que se instala en el puerto de la PC y sirve para que el programa funcione de manera completa. Por ejemplo, el programa Trados, sin el dongle, funciona sólo en modo demo. (Como podrás ver, muchas veces se deja en inglés).
