Although they all looks like the one pictured, they could be differ for model number...I don't know if a poor quality picture is enough to say "yes, it's the right model without doubts". But I hope so!

I'm sure they are different even if they look the same. The purpose of the dongle is to lock the machine to one licence.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

This would be the best option that can assure a working executable and bug-free.

Actually I tried to reverse the calls involved in the dongle process for three days (it should be glquake.00D84C80 but not sure), but without luck. It seems harder than expected. I'm sure I'm missing something, but dunno what since I haven't so much skills with assembly Tongue
