VMware USB key in a 2-node failover cluster

2 hosts, Vcenter, running on version 5.5 and are in a 2-node fail over cluster. Running several VMs, however, one of the client VMs (Windows 7) requires a USB dongle key for licensing to operate a software program.  I can map a USB device to the VM that needs the product key, but if Vcenter decides to move the VM to the 2nd host server within the cluster how do I continue to link the USB device that has the product key associated to the 1st host server? Or, does the current network map from 1st host follow the VM with the product key in question to the 2nd host server?
