They may not use dongles with this version, but how do you know that the 
money you just paid them isn't going into development of dongle protection 
for the next version?

Seems to me that there is a cleft stick here. You are better off stating 
your preference when the vendor offers both types of protection by 
purchasing the style you want, thereby voting for more of that protection 
style, rather then going with a vendor who has only the one style, and may 
change at the next version.
