Hardware security

If you have a dongle and want to keep using it, EmbroideryStudio can be purchased as Wilcom EmbroideryStudio Digital Edition HL. You still need to create a Wilcom User Account to register and activate the product. This is to ensure the dongle (license) is linked to the legitimate owner.

With the hardware dongle...

Continuous Internet connection is not required for use of the software.
However, software is activated online and requires an occasional Internet refresh.

Caution: NVIDIA nForce motherboards are not fully compatible with the security dongle.

Multi-user network dongle

Wilcom EmbroideryStudio Digital Edition HL continues to provide network dongle support. This means...

Licensed for set number of simultaneous users
Ideal for educational institutions and corporate users
Any ES Digital Edition product level, including DesignWorkflow can be run
All systems on the network are same product and options
Three models of network dongle to support up to 10, 50, 250 users
Can also use individual dongles for other products – if a local dongle is plugged into the machine, it will be favored over the network dongle.
