With the Dongle Server you have the possibility to connect your dongles to different workstations and users while physically storing them in one place.

Many companies prohibit the use of USB devices on terminals (Thin Clients) or even lock the USB interfaces for security reasons. As USB interfaces are required for the operation of dongle-protected software, you face a dilemma and for this kind of scenario the Dongle Server is the perfect solution! For an overview, what the Dongle Server has to offer, just take a look at the Dongle Server Facts at a Glance.

Yes. You can run the Dongle Server with Microsoft Windows AND Mac OS X operating systems. Access and administration of the attached dongles happens via the UTN Manager software tool and this is available for Windows and Mac operating systems. Additionally, our products are also compatible with Linux operating systems. You can download the latest versions of the UTN Manager for your operating system in our Download Area. 

In close collaboration with a wide range of software manufacturers and vendors, the Dongle Server has been tested successfully with a great array of dongle-protected software. Please bear in mind that sometimes the use of an additional server like the Dongle Server is prohibited by the software manufacturer. If you are not certain whether such restrictions apply to your software, please ask your software vendor.

First of all, the vendors' license terms are never circumvented! With a single-user license only one user is allowed to access the respective dongle. To ensure that only the respective employees can use a certain software, you can assign each dongle to specific individuals or groups with the software tool UTN Manager. 

Yes, when using the dongle server it doesn't matter which license dongle you use in your company: single-user, multi-user or floating licenses can be virtualized with the dongle server. The use of floating or multi-user licenses requires a license management system from the software manufacturer to distribute the licenses stored on the USB dongle. This must be carried out on a system to which the dongle is transferred using UTN technology. 

The Dongle Server is like a small fort for your dongles. First, you can store your dongles in one place, for example in the server room. From then on lost, damaged, stolen, and forgotten dongles are history.

Second, the Dongle Server provides a range of additional security features for managing and using dongle protected software across the network. You get an overview right here.

Often, in virtualized environments there is a lack of USB interfaces. This is where the Dongle Server comes in to solve the resulting problems. You can connect up to twenty USB dongles securely to the network regardless whether this is a virtual environment or one based on Fat Clients.

Unfortunately, this is not possible because the print server can only accept print data streams. This is due to the standard scan protocols. Alternatively, we suggest using a utnserver Pro in such cases.
