A friend of mine broke her dongle (she kept it on her keychain) and called apple. After begging for a while (apple told her at first she'd have to buy Logic 7 Pro again, despite the fact she had just bought it) the rep gave her a "second chance" and sent her a new dongle to replace the one she broke.

I expect some problems with a lost dongle but if she can return the broken dongle and pays for the replacement she should get it without featherbrained comments. Even a lost dongle should be replaceable if one can supply the usual papers like an official notice of loss. The process might depend on government end user laws which apply at the point of purchase. Apart from the fact that each statement in any agreement has to follow government law to be valid, we buy software and not dongles. The Logic License Agreement describes that correctly: "The Apple Software is protected by an XSKey (Expandable System Key), which is included with your purchase of the Apple Software."
