Orcad Uses A Dongle? Any Other Solution?

I have inherited system administration duties for our Windows 2000 CAD server, which appears to be running a license manager for Cadence OrCAD v16.0.  A dongle is also on this server that I believe is needed for the OrCAD application.

Am I correct that the dongle is needed for OrCAD v16.0?  And if so, is there an alternative to using the dongle?  I want to virtualize this server so it fits in our failover strategy.

I cannot find a general forum topic for sys admins, so hopefully this is an appropriate forum.
