In fact, FlowJo does allow you to use electronic licenses (either for single user, or, as we do, for site licensing). In my opinion, these are preferable since you can't lose them, misplace them, bend them, or have them mysteriously wander away to neighboring laboratories. FlowJo pioneered this form of licensing for flow data analysis 7 years ago, when it was first released!
