int isDonglePresent()
{
  if ( /* some fancy stuff */ )
    return 1;
  else
    return 0;
}
(one program I worked on some years ago did precisely this) and so in this case you could change the executable so that this function returns 1 whether the dongle is present or not.

Nice explanation to crack dongle. Thanks for sharing this creditable information to us.
