I've avoided software with dongles as it can be a pain, so moved from Sonar to PT because of the cloud activation meaning I'm still dongle free.

In this day and age your lucky if you get more than a couple of USB ports on a laptop and USB C is the only port on a MacBook
Online activation should be the norm.
