My next problem was that even though Windows saw the dongle, EOL was still in mirror mode even though I tried the shortcut keys. On the master console I switched to the CIA (something else was in the way) and was then able to access the mirror options under Displays and was able to finally disable mirror mode and all was well on the client.
Sooo, the end result of all this, is that I still need to be able to use a HASP dongle on the mac side periodically as well. So I did some digging and made two Services in Automator that you can run. One unloads the HASP dongle driver, the other, well, loads it. Both require your password because sudo is required for the shell script.
Here is the command that is being invoked by the load service; sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.aladdin.aksusbd.plist
or for loading sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.aladdin.aksusbd.plist
Attached are the services I made. Just drop them into /Library/Services/ in your home directory and then just invoke them from the pull down under any application name at the top. (Made for Snow Leopard)
I'd try reinstalling the HASP drivers. Windows sometimes looses drivers and gets confused if you switch USB ports.. not sure how port mapping is handled by parallels..
You can download the drivers here.

Are you getting the "parallels has discovered X device do you want it to connect to the virtual machine" message?
Have you started the virtual machine before inserting the key?
Are you running Parallels 4.0 or Snow Leopard?
Also may want to check if OSX has installed a HASP driver? I've seen problems with Parallels taking control of the dongle when OSX isn't simply ignoring it.

I just got some more information from one of our developers and the drivers used by Eos/Ion are slightly different to those used by Congo, which is the link I provided above.
Normally the drivers will be installed by the Eos/Ion installer; but assuming you have tried a reinstall already you can try downloading them directly from the HASP website :
ftp://ftp.aladdin.com/pub/hasp/srm/Runtime_%28Drivers%29/HASP_SRM_Runtime_setup.zip
Let me know if it works...
Hate to ask - but have you tried it on another machine? Could be faulty hardware?
I just tried on my mac here (Macbook Pro running Parallels 4.0 & Windows XP) and it works fine - even if I force Windows to uninstall the driver it gets reinstalled when I disconnect and reconnect the HASP dongle.
I'd say try reinstalling the Eos offline software, and if that doesn't work, you might have a bad dongle, try it on another PC.

Looking forward to network connectivity for Mac Offline.
