Until some fundamental changes happen within the closed source software world, this will always be a concern. ![]() Then one either has to virtualize (even then there might be hardware changes for the host computer that means running adapters to use older hardware (like PCM plugs, serial port plugs and eventually traditional USB plugs or even no optical drives and the original software is still only on CD/DVDs)) or keep older hardware around running the legacy OS as well to support the legacy program (which has it's own set of concerns). The latest version of Windows (or whatever PC OS we might be talking about) might do an update that deprecates and removes some system function that is needed by said program. Of course, running legacy software, eventually even if the software is still good to go (or dongle), there may be other problems. It may last longer then a server, but it still has a finite life span. The concern there is that once the dongle goes bad, gets damaged then what? Not any different then the server issue. ![]()
