They will always have n number of alibi to get licenses from you for free. And most often than not, you will have to provide them even if you know that they are lying. e.g. My system crashed, I changed my harddisk, I upgraded to new system etc. etc.

With the Hardware Lock, one license can be locked to one person independent of their system. If they want to use it on their home pc they plug that dongle to their home pc. Later if they want to use it on their laptops, they remove from home PC and plug it onto the laptop etc. At one time they will be able to run your software on only one system. And I think this is correct, since they are authorized for one license independent of system they want to run on.
