license is there because protection is there. it looks like they are confident it will take enough to make money. but i agree the dongle is THE product.
I think he means they sniffed communication from the router during the switch activation (on console) and no trace of data being sent.. I read about this yesterday, but it looks very strange to me as well.
i am waiting for this because my license is inside the sx pro box waiting to be shipped god-knows-when. so while i do support it, i dont want to buy an extra license due to problems in logistics..
