A dongle is a piece of hardware that must be plugged into a computer's Universal Serial Bus (USB) port before some kinds of software programs will run. This is to ensure that the software isn't copied or otherwise shared. A dongle emulator is a fake dongle created to bypass this limitation, much like a skeleton key. Since dongles are often encrypted to avoid this kind of hack, a dongle emulator is also known as a 'dongle crack'.
Because the creation of a dongle emulator frees up the software to be used by those who didn't pay for it, it is considered illegal. Many software licenses have clauses stating that creating such a device violates the user agreement. This does not mean that dongle emulators aren't created by hackers and that guides to crack a dongle's security encryption aren't available on the Internet and elsewhere.

Currently, there are two ways one can get a dongle emulator. If a person has skills in bypassing network security, they can make one themselves. Information on how to create a dongle emulator is typically passed from hacker to hacker and traded on Internet forums and websites. Someone without knowledge of coding can also purchase dongle emulators from websites. Because of their illegality, many websites claiming to provide working dongle emulators do not look legitimate.
