ArchiCad 16 and hardware keys

Isn't it high time for ArchiCad to lose the hardware keys in favour of software keys like the ones for Artlantis??

Why is Graphisoft still using this technology? Replacing and updating keys are extremly user unfriendly and causes halt in production...

I agree with you, I have several software with dongles (tricalc, archisuite, archicad...) and when I go to somewhere to show a project its ridiculous... I need a usb hub only for the keyplugs..

You guys should make a poll about this so we could have an idea of what percentage of people are OK with hardware keys and what percentage would like something else.
