Depends on what you mean by "E-Prime".  As you recall, there is no 
program called "E-Prime", rather E-Prime properly refers to a suite 
of programs.  We all (including me) have the bad habit of loosely 
referring to any program in the suite as "E-Prime" when we really 
mean something more specific like (most often) E-Studio, or E-Run, or 
E-DataAid, etc.  So here's the story as far as I can figure it out...

*All* versions of E-Prime require a hardware key ("dongle") or 
network key to run *E-Studio*.  All versions of E-Prime do *not* 
require any key to run any other programs in the suite, e.g., E-Run 
or E-DataAid.  EP1 does require a key during installation, whereas 
EP2 does not.  (So far I have managed to avoid network keys, so I 
cannot say much about them.)

On a side topic, over on the PST Forum every once in a while someone 
writes in with a problem with the "subject station" installation.  I 
never understand why anyone bothers with "subject station" 
installations.  Around here we just do a full install of E-Prime 
whereever we might need it.  Then, whatever station currently has the 
hardware key serves as the "development" station, and any others 
serve as "subject" and "data analysis" stations.  We can change those 
roles at will, and as I understand it this all fits within the terms 
of the license without us ever hassling with "subject stations".
