What customers say

Donglify is the true savior for the hardware key we use to access our printer station. We used to physically reattach the poor thing from my colleague’s PC into mine and beck every time one of us had a printing job. And that’s far more than a dozen times every single business day. Now, we rely on dongle sharing, and whoever needs the printer just connects to the key over the network. The printer’s software sees no difference at all.

I used Donglify to help a client with a remote setup for their licensed software. Instead of physically shipping USB dongles, I connected them remotely using this tool. It saved a lot of time and effort. The software is user-friendly and provides a stable connection. Donglify is an excellent tool for anyone managing USB dongles in remote environments.
Ahmed Khan, Technical Support Engineer
Donglify was a perfect solution for sharing a USB dongle among my development team. We needed access to a single hardware license key for testing across different systems, and Donglify allowed us to use it remotely without any hassle. Its encryption feature gave us peace of mind, knowing the connection was secure. Highly recommended for distributed teams!
