Hi !
Like the title mention it, it would be great to have the option to order a USB Security Dongle and have the vMix licence tied to the dongle.
My use case : I'm a freelancer, I mostly work with my own gear but sometimes I get called for a gig and when I get there, there's already a half-rack of equipment for streaming or a dedicated laptop configured with drivers for capture cards and I'm pointed to use their own gear, but when I fire up vMix on their gear there's no licence and the customer ask me to use the 60-day trial. Sometimes I use my key on their hardware, but that leaves traces and I just don't want the day to arrive that someone else uses my key and I have to deactivate their devices every week.

JMO I don't believe the MAX subscription option allows concurrent activation on an unlimited number of computers. So the OP is still in the same boat of having to activate/deactivate computers, which is what they are trying to avoid.

Not a concurrent subscription , rather a one time for that system If a client has a full system a Max license should not be a obstacle for them i would think and not put a burdon on the hired operator

Since when is a possible alternative and opinion a complaint ? Then again the mention of deactivating their device every week and client suggesting to use trial license (dodging buying ?) does makes me wonder why they dont have their own license in the first place. MAX license was added to cater for occasional shorttime use! I fully understand your worries when using your license on a foreign system. Maybe i read it wrong but it sounds like its often the same client(s)/systems when this occurs ( as mentioned before JMO) I used to have software using a dongle and personally found it impracticaly in the long run even without having to use it on foreign machines. I am not even sure that its economically and practically feasable for vMix(Martin) to provide them and adapt vMix's current security to a dongle system especially as a regisstered key is linked to various installed hardware items and system settings (try changing the language settings for example on a registered machine) . If my assumption is wrong that i am sure vMix will consider it with enough +1's
