If not, check out development of software like Autocad or, speaking of hardware protections for a software: Mac OS.

Any alternative is at least more cost-efficient.
I don't discount the possibility of multiple layers of checks, but even those are not immune.
For example, many crackers have manged to get OS X to run on non-Apple hardware, but what really hinders it is no drivers to take advantage of all the hardware features.

So, even with OS X one encounters hardware keyed protection in a round about way.

With the dongle, it can be set up in a way it cannot copied and faked
