Use of older usb dongles/security keys on Windows 7 and beyond

Over the years many companies that produce amazing Engilneering Softwares that used USB or even parallel port security keys was done to provide security for the writer of this software agains those who would might pirate their software... I bought into this activity with many USB Dongles... Then several of these companies went out of business or where sold to larger companies... This caused a serious isues (Expensives) to the end customers like myself... To upgrade a few of them can cost several Hundred of Thousand of Dollars if these company maintained some form of these softwares... So I elected to maintained a special computer running XP (A Xeon Machine to gain higher speeds...) so I would not loose use of many of these wonderful softwares like SystemView just to name one... Or Eagleware and Spice softwares... I still have access to my OLD XP Machine...

Question: Use of older security keys on later operating systems like Window's 7 (Better because of Xp can run as a simution embedded) or Window's 10 can basically not be done because Microsoft chose to ignore these users of these security keys... So,,, is there any way to used older softwares such as the types I have suggested in such a way, that the locking security keys could still be used on later versions of Microsoft platforms using older software that used Software Keys... I use mostly USB types and jump out of the Parallel types do to that change...

Years ago I wrote to Microsoft about this action they did... But they ignore me....

Today I thought I might just ask to see if what I think is truc may have a solution I was not made aware of...

Thanks...

PS I like your software Auslogic BootSpeed 13... Plus a few of the others too... Great efforts in your software programming is appreciated...

Does Boostspeed optimize my pc in the background?

Hi,

I have been using boostspeed for almost an year now and I am a free user. It is all good but my only question is that should i let boostpeed run in backgroung and windows startup? Does Boostspeed optimize my pc in the backgroung when I enable this option? These processes take up a lot of memory. And also does boostspeed perfomance monitor optimize the pc in backgroung ?

Regards,
Rishi
