HASP Key schematic... - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Hi everybody,
I found this
http://www.diakom.ru/soft/HardKey/index.html
Have a look at the Novex schematic. It looks very easy to implement. Only the software part is missing.
What do you think?

Thanks

P.S. I know it's a bit outdated but for some custom software project it could save you money...

Sorry?, but what is it supposed to do?.

It is a circuit that goes inline with an old centronics parallel port and still passes data thru. Those are sort of ports are going away on computers now. I guess the idea is to put code it in to make a security gongle or something?

As you say, it's getting to the stage that computers don't have parallel ports anymore, and people have always hated dongles as well - so it doesn't seem a very interesting project?.

Parallel port Dongles were usually easy to crack too. Autocad & Oracad used them but cracks and "patches" were close behind. I've never seen uncrackable software protection.

My real complaint is serial and parallel are easy and they are going away. USB is a pain. Hope the next interface to the PC is easier to use.

Is this for running warez? If so then thread should be binned since it's against the rules.

When did you last see a program that used a dongle?, there's never been any suggestion that it's for any illegal purpose - or that it's in any way a replacement for a commercial dongle.

Hero999,

Guy might be tring to protect his code with a dongle (right).. No matter, laptops and new high end machines have no serial or parallel.. Of course I do not have one of the high end machines so I can buy his code/dongle.

If he is tring to crack a gongle, that is the wrong way for sure (doing it in hardware he has a "snowballs chance" he can get the code from the working one).

Like Nigel said, not a very interesting project.
