So basically the software was saying "Somebody might be trying to hack me. So I'm gonna take down the whole system just in case."
I assume you REALLY needed that piece of software to put up with that.

Sad part? Yes.
I cannot for the life of me remember what the software did, but it had a physical dongle on the serial port (not USB, serial), I think it may have been related to HVAC control but don't quote me on that.
Ultimately when I left they were still using the software on its own dedicated machine. Even then it was total junk, but it "worked," so cannot mess with that!
