I think that you should push for a HASP license.
Demand one. Seriously. Get loud on the phone.
Worst case scenario you get a years use out of it before support is dropped
entirely. Even then you would be able to continue to use your HASP dongle
with the last version that supported it. This would buy you some time until
RSI can come up with a suitable replacement.
Which, I am under the assumption, they are beavering away on as we type.
They have to be since they understand that some of their users require the
flexibility of HASP to license their product when we are in the field, or on
travel, or at home.
