We use Senselock in our application. It is a smart dongle, that you can download your custom code into it. The way it works is that instead of just checking the presence of a dongle, your code should expect a correct output from the dongle emitted from your code inside the dongle.

• Crossware seems providing programmable USB dongles. The dongles themselves are not expensive and from having no better may even be used as end products. However the development suite is not that cheap.
• Calao Systems offer kind of "super dongle" that can be viewed as an "USB stick" of monstrous size. It is more powerful and runs Linux inside. This device even features own additional USB and RJ45 connectors but still can be plugged into USB port and hang there feeding from it. Some enclosure is provided.
