Is it legal?
SmarterX is a legitimate product that gives you the choice of running your licensed program on more than one machine, either one machine at a time (non-concurrent) or several machines at the same time (concurrent).
What is significant about SmarterX is that it can be used legally and within the terms of your license agreement. For instance, if you have more than one dongle concurrent sharing of anyone of your dongles using the device is legal and is with in the terms of your license agreement as long as the numbers of concurrent users do not exceed the number of dongles you have purchased. If you have a single dongle (single user license) you can still use the device legally providing you run your software on multiple computers non-concurrently and thus stay within the terms of your single user license agreement (non-concurrent means running your program on one machines at a time).
SmarterX is NOT intended as a means to defeat the main purpose of a hardware key (dongle), which is to provide protection against the menace of software piracy (illegal distribution and reproduction of software). The device is not a dongle emulator or a replacement for your dongle. It does not interfere with your software or your license file. It is only useful if it is used with your dongle and your legally purchased application software.
