The Spectrolino is only used as the dongle if you purchase it as a bundle
with ProfileMaker. It'll be called the "iProfile Basic Bundle" or "iProfile
Pro Bundle" depending which model of the Spectroscan you get. Be aware that
the Basic Bundle does not include Profile Editor. You need to purchase that
as a separate item (you'll get a dongle as you've already got the software
installed).
There's pros/cons to the iProfile Bundles for the Spectrolino. On one hand,
it's a great deal. On the other hand, you'll always need the 'Lino tethered
to your computer to use ANY of the software. Personally, I opted to purchase
things separately which gets you a regular USB dongle for the software thus
not requiring the 'Lino to be hooked up.

Is there anything else I should be aware if buying the stuff used?
Yes. If it's a purple Spectrolino/'Scan, it's the one use for the iProfile
Bundles. If it's the green model, it's not. You might consider getting a
used green model and purchasing the software separately. Might save you some
money plus you'll be able to run ProfileMaker without the the Spectrolino.
Oddly, I think with the other iProfile Bundles (iCColor and Eye-One Pro)
they don't use the device as dongle, you get a separate dongle.
