How to use software without dongle

Send an invitation to other users

The ability to invite other users to remotely run a software without dongle allows you to control who uses the device while maintaining the privacy of your account credentials. Use the following procedure to send other users invitations to access the dongle.

1. Configure Donglify on the computer that is physically connected to the device.
   
   • Connect the dongle to the server.
   • Start Donglify and click the “Plus” icon.
   • A list of available devices is displayed by Donglify.
   • Check the radio button next to the device you want to share and click “Share”.
   
   
2. Once the device is available for remote access, you can send an invitation by typing the email address associated with a valid Donglify account and clicking the “+” icon.
   
   
3. Donglify will display the email address and a Connected message when the user accepts the invitation.
   
   
4. You can disconnect the remote session by choosing the More options icon next to the email address and selecting “Disconnect”.

Share access to a Donglify account with a token

Using a token allows you to share access to your account without exposing your email address and password. Through the use of a secure digital token, a user can log into a Donglify account and obtain access to the software’s functionality. They do not have access to the Donglify account itself and therefore have no details concerning the account’s owner. When a token is deleted, the associated user is immediately logged out of the Donglify account.

Use the following procedure to create a token.

1. Sign in to your online account on the Donglify website.
2. Open the Tokens tab and click on the Create Token button.
3. Select a name for the token and click Create.
4. You will see the newly created token in the app’s list of available tokens.
5. Copy the token and send it to a remote user using email, SMS, or other means.

Click the red “X” button next to the token’s creation date to delete it.

1. Remote users need to follow these steps to use the token to access the available dongle.
2. Download and install Donglify on their computer.
3. Launch the program, enter the token, and log into the account.
4. More than one computer can use the same token simultaneously.
