Brian – I thought you had to hand the old dongle in when upgrading to a later version. Presumably the latest dongles are USB devices whereas the older windows 98 dongle plugged into the printer port so would someone updgrading now have two dongles they could use?

Phil, you can still use the parallel port dongle with Signlab 7.1.
If you want to swap to a USB dongle you have to send your old dongle back plus part with £75+vat. So most people stick with their old dongle.
