Doggle ???
I think you mean you have it connected into a parallel port on the machine. Can you not use VNC/RDP from the second machine ?

Nope. Have to buy another licence/dongle. Usually there is not way of "copying" them.

indeed thats why they put the licenses on the dongle, you can usually have the application on any PC but need the dongle to license / activate the software.

Bang on a Terminal Server such as Server 2003 and RDP to PC while working on the desktop of PC. Worth a try if you have the skills and time.

Not impossible, it depends on how complex the dongle's authentication is. Some of the older CAD parallel dongles were pretty basic and worked on a simple handshake eg: software checks to see if dongle is attached, yes, ok load which could easily be replicated with a PIC.
But i suspect in this case probably not and as said, you're best bet might be to RDP/VNC the licensed machine.
