Hi Subtone,
The new release of H3000 Factory does not require an iLok usb dongle, but still uses PACE's licensing system including the iLok License Manger software, for which you need an iLok.com account. Because it doesn't require the dongle, you will not need to commit any usb ports to this.

I hope this answers your question,
