If you need a physical license media hardware key to run FARO 3D scanning or metrology software, the core decision is which USB dongle fits your budget. Both options here are used FARO hardware keys with matching identifiers: condition is Used, Country of Origin is Japan, Instrument Type is CMM Machine, and mpn is Quantum. The two titles differ mainly in what they emphasize, which leaves the listed-price spread as the clearest decision point.
Quick verdict
The practical question is simple: do you need a FARO USB dongle for SOFTS0302 and SOFTS0371 software modules, and which listed price makes sense for you? One option is titled around the 3D Scanner and USB Security Dongle terms; the other leads with Portlock HASP and 3D Scan. Both are used, both come from Japan, and both share the same instrument type and mpn. In other words, the core functionality described is the same. That makes the price gap the real separator in this head-to-head.
Listed-price comparison at a glance
| Option | Listed Price | Price Bar | Attributes at a Glance |
|---|---|---|---|
| FARO 3D Scanner Software License Key USB Security Dongle (SOFTS0302 & SOFTS0371 | USD 5,579.07 | Used · Japan · CMM Machine · mpn: Quantum | |
| FARO Software License Key USB Dongle Portlock HASP SOFTS0302 SOFTS0371 3D Scan | USD 4,799.20 | Used · Japan · CMM Machine · mpn: Quantum |
Both options are listed with the same used condition, country of origin, instrument type, and manufacturer part number. The description for both confirms they include the original protective storage case and factory Keys.
Where each option wins
- FARO 3D Scanner USB Security Dongle - Choose this if the title phrasing matters to you. It is the one that puts "3D Scanner" and "USB Security Dongle" up front, at USD 5,579.07.
- FARO Portlock HASP - Choose this if you care more about the lower listed price. It comes in at USD 4,799.20 and leads with the Portlock HASP naming and "3D Scan" wording.
Because the shared attributes are identical, the decision comes down to price and which title wording feels more useful to you.
FARO 3D Scanner Software License Key USB Security Dongle (SOFTS0302 & SOFTS0371
Choose this option if you want the product title to state exactly what the dongle is for: FARO 3D scanner software and a USB security dongle. The description confirms it includes the original protective storage case and factory Keys, and the attributes line up with the other option: Used, Japan, CMM Machine, and mpn Quantum. The trade-off is the higher listed price in this head-to-head. You are paying more for title wording that leads with the scanner and security-dongle terms, not for a different model or condition. If that phrasing feels clearer to you, this is the pick. If price dominates, the Portlock HASP version is the lower-cost route.
FARO Software License Key USB Dongle Portlock HASP SOFTS0302 SOFTS0371 3D Scan
If you want the lower listed price among these two used FARO license keys, this Portlock HASP option is the one. It uses the Portlock HASP naming in the title, and the description confirms the same function: a physical USB key for FARO 3D scanning, metrology, or measurement software modules. It also includes the original protective storage case and factory Keys. The title does not include the exact phrase "USB Security Dongle," so if that specific wording matters to you, the competing option uses it. Otherwise, with the same condition, country of origin, instrument type, and mpn, the most concrete difference here is that this option is listed at the lower end of the price spread.
Final choice by use case
If your priority is minimizing spend on a physical FARO license key, go with the Portlock HASP version. If the clearer "USB Security Dongle" title and the 3D Scanner framing are worth a higher listed price, choose the other dongle. Both are used and share the same FARO attributes, so the deciding factor is price and preferred wording.
