I can't use them at the same time however, since the shape of the dongle protrudes on the sides, not allowing me to physically plug in the other USB for the wireless mouse (about the size of a typical flash drive), so I can't use PT and a mouse at the same time. Fail.
What you need, my friend, is the patented "Dongle Buddy" .. which
is probably the gayest product name of all time ..

Available here: https://www.ilok.com/cgi-bin/WebObje...ProductBrowser

What this product does is to allow the iLok to dangle from your laptop
over the arm rest of your aisle seat ... where it will be conveniently
crushed by the passing beverage cart.
