Physical security for Run-Time USB license key-dongle

danw · Aug 18, 2017

The HMI software's run-time USB license key has nice hole in the end.

What do you guys use to secure it so it doesn't walk away?

When I have an expansion USB header off the mainboard, I put the dongles inside the case. Just have to remember to retrieve them when replacing the boards lol...

Don't allow physical access to the computer or any of its ports; IE: Put the PC inside a locked enclosure.

I have actually used a usb extension board that plugs into the motherboard. Then I mount the extension board INSIDE the PC case for the license dongle.

Along the same lines.... if you use a USB extension cable plugged into the back of the PC and ran into the PC cabinet it would be 'out of site' then you can use a wire tie to keep it secure in the PC

Customer gets to sign for the dongle on day 1.

The same security we use to secure the site. If our sites get compromised, the least of my worry is a USB dongle.
