Any software that has to be activated, doesn't matter if it's even perpetual licensed or not, could face this issue at any time. The cost that the OP mentions would lend itself to that. Which would lend itself more to a perpetual licensed version of the software. The irony here is that this is more then likely an activation server failure. However, the gap is getting smaller and smaller. Bare in mind, if that commercial software is more efficient, I'm going to use that versus the open source version, due to that efficiency (however, only in a VM as I actually do run really old software, some of it is DOS only). That's what the free is all about, not necessarily always the cost. Now, I'm not doing open source, because people think it's free (I know some open source programs that if you want the pre-compiled binary you have to pay, if you want it free either have to get an OS that already has it installed or build it from source, which is not fun even on Linux, but definitely building it for Win or Mac is more of a headache if one isn't used to it), but because it does give us more control with our software. One of the main reasons that I'm trying to do more in open source and that too has it's own issues and it lags behind commercial software in some ways. Until some fundamental changes happen within the closed source software world, this will always be a concern.

Then one either has to virtualize (even then there might be hardware changes for the host computer that means running adapters to use older hardware (like PCM plugs, serial port plugs and eventually traditional USB plugs or even no optical drives and the original software is still only on CD/DVDs)) or keep older hardware around running the legacy OS as well to support the legacy program (which has it's own set of concerns).

The latest version of Windows (or whatever PC OS we might be talking about) might do an update that deprecates and removes some system function that is needed by said program. Of course, running legacy software, eventually even if the software is still good to go (or dongle), there may be other problems. It may last longer then a server, but it still has a finite life span.
The concern there is that once the dongle goes bad, gets damaged then what? Not any different then the server issue.
