gerber graphix advantage serial

a couple years back, I bought a pair of gerber edge's (older ones) with a terribly old pc,
we never fired up the pc, but I did keep the parallel port dongles.if memory serves me, it was probably
windows 98, has anyone managed to get gerber to cross the numbers on the dongles and get a serial for the software?

we use flexi (monthly subscription) , but I would like to be able to run the older gerber software in a vm.
I know I can pay for the gerber upgrade to the current version, but I don't think I want it that much.

♦ Chapter Six: HPGL Plotter Installation - if you are using a plotter which is not
listed in the install screen. (Many different plotters are referred to as HPGL plotters because they use the HPGL standard command set to communicate. See page 80.)
