One studio I used to frequent had a lock box chained to the rack with a usb and power connector going in to it. Inside was an 8 port usb hub full of the dongles.

Two points:

1) this is an EXTREMELY inexpensive insurance policy costing somewhere between 50 and 75 bucks... easily justifiable seeing as there are 10k worth of plugins on those dongles.

2) there is absolutely no way that a dongle can consume 30% of your resources... with 8 usb keys, you would be at 240% cpu usage.

I have no problem with my nuendo dongle...
