1.2 First important Information

First connection of CmDongle
Connect your Cm Dongle with a free USB interface of your PC. The light diode of the Cm Dongle alternatively flas hes red and
green for 1-2 seconds. Your PC s hows that a new USB device has been found. Cm Dongles with additional Flas h memory, e.g.
Cm Stick /M, are able to permanently h old any data on th is drive.

With Cm Dongles with additional flas h memory it can happen that the Windows message "Do you want to scan and fix
'XYZ'?" displays.
This always happens when the connection was disconnected during access and the write process was not completed
by closing a special flag at the same time.
Solution:
· Using the safely remove option, always log off the Cm Dongle before removing it from the system.
· Click on "Scan and fix". Please save all important data first!

Alternatively to the mass storage device status, Cm Dongles can also display as HID (Human Interface Device) without a drive
status (for more details see here 141 ).
Cm Dongles without Flas h memory represent virtual drives, i.e. data you save on it will get lost once you disconnect the
Cm Dongle !

By default, CodeMeter License Server is installed as service (Windows) or as daemon (Linux, macOS) and thus automatically
starts on system startup. The behavior at system startup is optimized by using default values and prevents eventually occurring
process access conflicts. In the case of problems, please contact Wibu-Systems Support.
If CodeMeter License Server s hould not be active, it can be manually started or stopped 30 . The following table s hows you
start options for different operating systems.

Operating System Menu Control Name

[Start | All Programs | CodeMeter | CodeMeter Control Center ] CodeMeter.exe

On Linux (graphic desktop environment KDE 4) eventually connected Cm Stick s/BMC / Cm Cards are not automatically
detected.
If removable devices are connected to Linux systems, they have to be mounted, i.e. making the filesystem on the device
accessible. Some desktop environments do this automatically, some do not.
Check the settings for general automatic mounting and also for the Cm Stick /BMC / Cm Card using the menu item
"System Settings | Hardware | Removable Devices".
Of course you cannot mount a file system whose underlying device is not connected.

If on Linux Cm Stick s/BMC / Cm Cards cannot be detected, please proceed as follows:

1. Start codemeter a root user.
If you use the systemd-init system, please enter the following s hell commands:
# mkdir /etc/systemd/system/codemeter.service.d
# printf '[Service]\nUser=root\n' > /etc/systemd/system/codemeter.service.d/as-root.conf
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart codemeter.service
If you use the sysvinit/sysv-rc, please enter the following s hell commands:
# sed -i '/^USER/cUSER=root' /etc/init.d/codemeter
# service codemeter restart
2. Read-Write mount the Cm Stick /BMC / Cm Card.
In the desktop environment either mount the filesystem in the /etc/fstab (using the service udisks2), or manually
mount it.

Manual
First important Information

Eventually you must create an empty 'codemeter.io' file: <mntpnt>/CM-Device/codemtr.io.

If the mount takes place after the start of codemeter, either use CodeMeter Control Center "View | Refres h" - CTRL+R
or restart using the s hell command "# service codemeter reload".

Activating CmActLicense licenses

Cm ActL icense th e software- and activation-based CodeMeter variant re q uires no h ardware token. R ath er Cm ActL icense

licenses are bound to hardware properties of the PC on which they are accessed.

Please make sure you activate a Cm ActLicense license only on the PC for which you want to use the license.

Before you are able to activate Cm ActLicense licenses for your PC you require a separate file you obtain from your software
vendor. This licenses information file corresponds to an empty license container. It serves to collect hardware properties of
your PC as a kind of 'finger print' for the subsequent activation. Please proceed as follows:
1. Drag & drop the *.wbb file, e.g. MyCmActLicense.wbb, you received from your software vendor onto CodeMeter Control
Center.

The "Status" field s hows that is file is only an empty license container and not a license. At the same time, the CodeMeter
symbol changes to red.
2. Click the "Activate License" button to create a license request file (see here 40 ) and to send it to your software vendor.
Subsequently, your software vendor will send you a license update file.
3. Drag&drop the *.wbb file, e.g. MyCmActLicense.WibuCmLIF, you received from your software vendor onto CodeMeter
Control Center.

The "Status" field s hows that the license has been activated. At the same time, the license has a serial number, and the
CodeMeter symbol h as switch ed to activated status.

Manual
Installation

1.4 Installation
The following section contains installing and uninstalling information of the CodeMeter for different operating systems.
While installing it is not required that a Cm Dongle is connected to the computer.
· Windows 32-bit/64-bit 11

· macOS 13
· Linux 15

1.4.1 Installing on 32/64-bit Windows

For Windows 32- and 64-bit a CodeMeter Runtime Kit installation program is available:
For installing the CodeMeter Runtime Kit start the respective installation program and follow the installation wizard.
Network Server and Automatic Server Search
On installing 11 it can be decided whether CodeMeter License Server is set up as a server in a network environment and the
related TCP port 11 22350 is registered with the Windows firewall. By default, CodeMeter License Server is only available
locally (local host).

Also during the installation an automatic search of network servers is set as default. This is implemented by a broadcast via
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) (it is listened only at server search time and only until the end of the UDP Waiting Time) and for
communication the related UDP port 11 22350 is registered with the Windows firewall.

In order to modify these default settings open the installation wizard again. In the following dialog click the button
"Change " to allow the modifiactions to be made.

1.4.1.1 Installed files on 32/64-bit Windows

CodeMeter Administrator Manual 7.40b - April 2022

1.5 Profiling - CodeMeter License Server settings

The settings with which CodeMeter License Server is used are based on so-called 'profiling'. For Windows these settings are
stored in the Windows registry, for macOS and Linux *.ini files contain this information.
Registry (Windows registry database)
Please note that extensive problems might occur, if you modify the registry incorrectly. Thus, make sure that you change
values very carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry, if
a problem occurs.

All settings for the administration of the system and all integrated system services and processes are stored here. Many
application programs, such as the Wibu-Systems software, also store their settings here.
In order to check or edit registry entries, please proceed as follows:
1. Open Registry Editor.
In the search box on the task bar, type regedit. Then, select the top result for Registry Editor (Desktop app).
Alternatively, press and hold or right-click the Start button, then select Run. Enter regedit in the Open: box and select OK.
2. Advance to the node [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WIBU-SYSTEMS\CodeMeter\Server\...].
The following values and data types exist:
· REG_DWORD: a binary data type in w hich 32-bit integer values are stored as 4-byte hexadecimal values.
· REG_SZ: a string of Unicode ch aracters. For names, descriptions, system paths, etc.

You can also create a local Windows CodeMeter.ini file holding the stored settings from the registry.
However, be aware that as soon as CodeMeter License Server starts, it checks if a CodeMeter.ini file exists. If there is a
CodeMeter.ini file, all default information from the registry is stored there. From this moment on, CodeMeter License Server
then will use only the information stored in CodeMeter.ini.
For creating the CodeMeter.ini file, please proceed as follows:
1. Create an empty file named CodeMeter.ini in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeMeter\Runtime\bin.
2. Stop and start the CodeMeter service in CodeMeter Control Center using the "Action | ..." navigation items.
The CodeMeter.ini file is completed.
Changes made are saved only, if the CodeMeter License Server service has been stopped before and then
restarted after modifications have been made.

Server.ini file
The settings of applications are stored here in configuration files separately for individual programs in respective directories
(*.ini files).

Changes made are saved only, if the CodeMeter License Server daemon has been stopped before and then restarted
after modifications have been made.
On macOS this file locates at:
/Library/Preferences/com.wibu.CodeMeter.Server.ini.
On Linux this file locates at:
/etc/wibu/CodeMeter/Server.ini
In order to check or edit file entries open the file in a text editor of your choice.

accesses.

CmWANPort
specifies the port address for the Cm WAN communication used by the server side only. The default value is the port
address 22351.

CmWebSocketApi
specifies whether the Cm Web Sock et API is used or not.

This entry only affects old versions of the Cm Web Sock et API prior to CodeMeter Version 7.10a that do not perform
origin checks.

Origin check
The new Cm Web Sock et API from CodeMeter version 7.10a on requires a check for the origin of a request when
information and data is exchanged via Web Components with CodeMeter License Server. This is done by a
certificate issued by Wibu-Systems.
At the same time, old versions of the Cm Web Sock et API prior to CodeMeter Version 7.10a due to security reasons
are deactivated by default.
The old versions can be activated by setting the profiling entry CmWebSocketAllowWithoutOriginCheck'='1'.
Such activation, however, is not recommended.
If the value 0 (disabled) is set, the online activation in the Web Depot of CodeMeter License Central cannot be used. The
Software Activation Wizard using the CodeMeter License Central Gateways and the file-based activation in Web Depot still
work.
Value Description
0 disable
1 enabled (default)
If the value 0 (deactivated) is set, the online activation in Web Depot of CodeMeter License Central cannot be used.
However, the Software Activation Wizard, which uses the CodeMeter License Central Gateways, and the file-based
activation in Web Depot still work.

CmWebSocketAllowWithoutOriginCheck
specifies since CodeMeter Version 7.10a whether the Cm Web Sock et API is additionally used without check of the origin of
a request for the Cm Web Sock et API or not.
By default, the check is not switched off and is performed (0).

For a transition period, it may happen that a not yet completed exchange of web components (Web Depot) may
require activation of the old Cm Web Sock et API of a CodeMeter version 7.10a or newer.
Then setting the profiling entry 'CmWebSocketAllowWithoutOriginCheck' to the value '1' after a CodeMeter License
Server restart can reactivate th e previous Cm We b Sock et API with out origin ch eck.

The activation of the old Cm Web Sock et API on principle is explicitly not recommended.

CodeMeter WebAdmin

2. Check the JavaScript support of your Internet browser.

JavaScript must be activated for effective using CodeMeter WebAdm in.

3. Type in the URLs: http://localhost:22350 or http://127.0.0.1:22350 directly in the address field of your Internet
browser.
The use of TCP/IP in CodeMeter
The communication between protected applications and CodeMeter License Server bases on the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). This is valid not only for locally existing licenses, but also for licenses which are provided
via a network.
By default, CodeMeter uses the port 22350 registered by Wibu-Systems at IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) and
uniquely assigned for the CodeMeter communication. The list of assigned ports can be viewed at
www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.
In order to make available a client access to a CodeMeter License Server on the network, a communication using the
CodeMeter port must be supported. If th e server s h ould locate in anoth er network area, eventually th e port must be made

known and accessible as part of the infrastructure (router, firewall, etc.).

For the direct access to CodeMeter License Server on the network, the communication bases on TCP. For an automatic search
of servers on the network, additionally a broadcast via UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is performed (it is listened only at server
search time and only until the end of the UDP Waiting Time).
The access using the CodeMeter port is performed only for the access to CodeMeter License Servers and this only
within the organization which runs the network server.
In particular, using this port no communication into the internet is performed.

In CodeMeter settings of CodeMeter WebAdm in an option exist to configure 75 the CodeMeter port to a value other than the
default of 22350. However, such a change s hould have plausible reasons, e.g. in the case of parallel test environments on the
same network. In addition, such a change requires the same configuration of all affected CodeMeter License Servers.
1.8.1 Basics
TCP/IP based
Communication between CodeMeter WebAdm in and connected Cm Container is browser-based and uses network
components. Thus the installation of the network protocol TCP/IP is required, and access must be granted to the localhost.

However, an actual connection to the Internet is not establis hed.

Network Server and Server Access

By default, CodeMeter License Server is only available locally (localhost).
A change of the remote access to CodeMeter WebAdmin 69 during operation requires a restart of the Cm WebAdm in
service. Please note the firewall settings.

Firewall Settings
Please also note that the settings of your firewall do not block communication.

CodeMeter License Server uses a specific IP port (defaulted on 22350) to communicate with your PC and the network.
This network port is registered at IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) and uniquely assigned for CodeMeter
communication.
Make sure that your firewall is not blocking this port. Enable the used IP port 22350 and make sure it is accessible by
CodeMeter, i.e. s h are th e communication for th is IP port.

If the CodeMeter WebAdm in communication is required not only locally but also in server operation, you must also
release port 22352 (in the case of HTTPS, port 22353), since port 22350 is automatically forwarded.

Communication Mode
By editing registry or server entries you are also able to define which communication mode CodeMeter License Server uses.
The following table s hows you where for which operating system you find the profiling to set the communication mode.

User Limit Here eac h started instance allocates a single license. It does not make a difference if the CmContainer w as found
locally, or on a netw ork.
In brackets the number of borrow ed licenses display, if existent.
Station Share Here multiple instances can be started on a single PC but allocate only a single license.
You use this setting, for example, w hen you w ant to provide the end-user w ith the option of starting the
application several times. On a terminal server eac h session allocates a license. In virtual mac hines eac h
mac hine allocates a license.
StationShare avoids unnecessary duplication of license allocation by ensuring that license accesses - locally
or over a netw ork - and the defined allocation sequence do not overlap.

59
CodeMeter Administrator Manual 7.40b - April 2022

Element Description

For example, if a license access (handle) made via netw ork (LA N) w ith StationShare w ill be detected, then
no new license w ill be assigned locally despite the defined allocation sequence (first locally, then via
netw ork, i.e. LOCAL_LA N tag).
In addition, if a license is already accessed locally, no new license access (handle) w ill be made via the
netw ork, if the local access could also be made via StationShare.
Exclusive Here a protected application can be started only once on a PC.
No User Limit Here any number of instances of the protected application can be started locally or in a netw ork, and no additional
licenses are allocated. Allocated licenses in this mode can be re-used.
1.8.6.1 License Monitoring Details
The "License Monitoring Details" page displays detailed information on the license allocation.

Figure 43: CodeMeter W ebAdmin – "License Monitoring | License Monitoring Details"

For example, in the figure above you see:
· the licenses for the application derive from the licensor with the Firm Code 600010 and describe the product with the Product
Code 14.
· the licenses are stored in the Cm Container with the mask and serial number 3-3448482.
· in total 1 client, identified by ID, Client (::1(WIBU \ fs) and Client Process ID columns, 4 times accessed the application
"Chart Processing" using Station Share. Here multiple instances can be started on a single PC but allocate only a single
license. An access from another PC would be possible as the upper table (Total 2, Available 1) s hows.
StationShare avoids unnecessary duplication of license allocation by ensuring that license accesses - locally or over a
network - and the defined allocation sequence do not overlap.
For example, if a license access (handle) made via network (LAN) with StationShare will be detected, then no new license
will be assigned locally despite the defined allocation sequence (first locally, then via network, i.e. LOCAL_LAN tag).
In addition, if a license is already accessed locally, no new license access (handle) will be made via the network, if the local
access could also be made via StationShare.
· There is no expiration date.
· Client ::1(WIBU \ fs for the first time accessed the application (First and Last Access columns are of same date).
· Using the pictogram of the Action column allows you to deallocate single accessed licenses..

You cannot deallocate and reallocate borrowed licenses before they have been returned.

1.8.8.6 License Access Permissions

On the "Configuration | Server | License Access Perm issions" page you define settings managing all client accesses to
CodeMeter L icense Server.

Please note, that you previously must have configured CodeMeter License Server (CodeMeter.exe) as a network or a
CmWAN server ("Server Access 75 ").
At the same time, also the license access permissions for localhost are managed.

On access configuration you can select among a basic and an advanced mode.
The basic 76 mode allows adding client computer and IP addresses for accessing CodeMeter License Server.

75
CodeMeter Administrator Manual 7.40b - April 2022

The advanced mode allows, for example, specifying global and specific access rules for accessing licenses and reserving
77

license access for single staff member or complete Active Directory groups.
Please select the desired License Access Permissions mode.

Please note that for the operating systems macOS and Linux the use of the advanced 77 mode for license
access permissions is possible in principle, but that the configuration of group rules is not supported.

Additional access control of client list via whitelist and Blacklist

Alternatively, you also have the option to create a white or blacklist for the access of clients.

Please note that on specifying subnet masks only input dividable by 8 is accepted.

This so-called profiling you conduct for different operating systems at the following locations:
Operating System Profile Creation

Window s Registry entry in HKLM/SOFTWARE/WIBU-SYSTEMS/CodeMeter/Server/CurrentVersion

macOS /Library/Preferences/com.wibu.CodeMeter.Server.ini

Linux /etc/wibu/CodeMeter/Server.ini.
The generation of the profile for CodeMeter License Server comprises the following versions (CodeMeter.exe,
CodeMeterMacX, CodeMeterLin).

When you edit the *.ini files in the case of macOS and Linux, you must stop the service CodeMeter License Server
before. Otherwise, changes you have been made do not apply.

Parameter Description
Client<index>=<Subnetz>[, Whitelist:
<serial>[,FC[,PC]]]] These parameters hold the IP addresses of client PCs on the netw ork w hic h have the privilege to access the local
(Whitelist)
CodeMeter License Ser ver . When the IP address of a client is not on this list, the access is denied.

If no w hitelist exists, no other restrictions apply. The specification of subnets is possible.

The syntax is as follow s:
Client<index>=<Subnetz>[,<serial>[,FC[,PC]]]
The serial number has to follow the pattern MaskByte-Serial Number (e.g. 1-1179681).
Example:
Client1=192.168.0.0/24,1-123456,10,13
this addresses all computer ranging from 192.168.0.0 to192.168.0.255 (Class C). Usually are also /8 (Class A)
and /16 (Class B).
The serial number, FC, and PC are optional.
This w hitelist corresponds to the client list in CodeMeter W ebAdmin.
Blacklist<index>=<Subnetz Blacklist:
>[,<serial>[,FC[,PC]]]] These parameters hold the IP addresses of client PCs on the netw ork w hic h have no privilege to access the local
[SZ, optional]
CodeMeter License Ser ver . When an IP address of a client is on this list, the access is denied.

If no blacklist exists, no other restrictions apply.

The syntax is as follow s:
Blacklist<index>=<Subnetz>[,<serial>[,FC[,PC]]]
The serial number has to follow the pattern MaskByte-Serial Number (e.g. 1-1179681).
Example:
Blacklist1=192.168.0.0/24,1-123456,10,13
this addresses all computer ranging from 192.168.0.0 to192.168.0.255 (Class C). Usually are also /8 (Class A)

The serial number, FC, and PC are optional.
Advanced Mode
The advanced access control mode allows the controlling of license access using access rules. The license access by single
staff members but also of complete Active Directory 78 groups can be organized. The detection of single staff members (user
name) and groups happens automatically without any integration efforts. An update control 78 element is available.

The list of License Access Permissions (access control list) can be exported or imported in a *.json format using the
115 115

command line tool cm u32.

Two types of access rules exist:
· global access rules 79
· specific access rules 80
The global access rules control the license access to all Cm Container. If specific access rules have been defined, then these
are exempted from the global access rules.
The specific access rules control license access to separately specified license entries for ISV or applications (Firm Code, Product
Code, Containers). Then the specific access rules are valid and for matching license entries the global access rules are ignored.
Coupled with a limitation of user here also the number of available licenses can be set for each rule, and licenses can be
reserved. This can set specific limits e.g. for some departments, while keeping one license reserved for exclusive use.
In some cases, different Product Items with the same Product Code are present, for instance, if the same software was bought with
different license options. In such instances, the Product Items can be identified using associated Product Items Text, and rules can
be defined for each Product Item.
The following conditions hold true for access rules:
· access rules are created, edited and deleted in a separate area or dialogs.
· access rules may cover several rules. Rules are processed top-down, which means that the order of the rules is decisive
for the result.
· access rules conclude with an area defining the default setting for all license accesses which are not covered by rules.
· If specific access rules are defined, the most specified available access rules apply. If no rules are configured for the
Product Code, the rules for the Firm Code apply. If no Firm Code rules exist, the global rules apply.

At times, it may necessary to receive help by our support when using CodeMeter. In order to ease identification of troubles, the
program Cm Dust (CodeMeter Enduser Support Tool) for the command line has been developed.

No secret information is transferred to Wibu-Systems. You are able to check the information saved in plain text.

The result of the program execution is written to the text file CmDust-Result.log and saved to the user directory which
automatically opens when starting Cm Dust.
Alternatively, you are able to use the command line application cmu to create a log file.
107

For analyses this file can be sent to Wibu-Systems.

CmDust on macOS
For macOS you create the Cm Dust file using the cm u 106
command line program. Calling cm u is stored in the search path.
To create a Cm Dust log, please proceed as follows:
1. Open cm u command line
2. Type in the following command
cmu --cmdust
Using the option --file allows to add a name and a saving location.
By default, the file is written to the directory from which you accessed cm u.
3. Send this file for analyzing to Wibu-Systems.
CmDust on Linux
For the operating systems Linux you create the Cm Dust file using the cm u 106
command line program. Calling cm u is stored in
the search path.
1. Open cm u command line
2. Type in the following command
cmu --cmdust
Using the option --file allows to add a name and a saving location.
By default, the file is written to the directory from which you accessed cm u.
3. Send this file for analyzing to Wibu-Systems.

Creating and importing a namelist of Named User

To restrict access to licenses to so-called named users, external namelist files must be used. This process is done in two
steps:
1. Creating the namelist file 110
A namelist file includes a list of authorized users in plain text entries and must conform to a JSON 110 format. The format is
specified by Wibu-Systems.
2. Mandatory importing of the namelist file 112
Cm u converts th e plaintext entries of th e namelist file into a list of h as h values

After importing and converting the plaintext entries into has h values by cm u, the has h values cannot be exported
back to the original plaintext entries: recovery is not possible in any case.
You are therefore responsible for saving the data yourself!

Creating a namelist
To create the namelist file you need information from software vendors about
· the Firm Code used,
· the JSON format version and
· the unique identifier of the name list (NamelistId).
The following applies to a namelist:
· There is a format version that is easy to edit and extend.
· It is possible to change the namelist file without restarting CodeMeter.
That is importing a changed namelist file is possible at any time without a restart, which then becomes valid, but this does not
mean that it is possible to change the file in CodeMeter itself.
· For security reasons no plain names are kept in memory.
· The file can be assigned to one or more product items via NameListId and Firm Code .
· A maximum of 5000 named users are allowed per namelist.
· CodeMeter uses a maximum of 250 namelists.
It is possible to add users to the namelist multiple times, whereby the total frequency, the entry position and the License
Quantity are taken into account and allow list control.
With a number of licenses n and a number of m entries applies:
· If the number of entries m is greater than the number n of available licenses, only the first n entries are used.
· If, on the other hand, the number of entries m is less than the number n of available licenses, only the m entries are used; if
the license is created with the singlealloc option, the remaining n-m licenses cannot be used.
Please find example files for each credential type with parameters and descriptions below.

Users holds the array of elements of type "Users".
UserDefinedText holds the respective user-defined text eligible for an authoriz ed license acccess as NamedUser.
Importing a namelist of named users
Using external namelist files requires an import via the following cm u command after their creation.
Options Description
--import- imports a list of of name user (namelist ) in the JSON format to allow using the feature Named User. Using -f allow s
namelist -f to specify path information and file name, e.g. NameList.txt .
<NameList.txt>
Cm u converts the entries of the namelist file into a list of has hes. Using another cm u command allows the has h output 113
of
this Namelist to stdout.
After importing and converting the plaintext entries into has h values by cm u, the has h values cannot be exported back to
the original plaintext entries: recovery is not possible in any case.
You are therefore responsible for saving the data yourself!

The cryptographic has h function Secure Has h Algorithm sha256 is used to ensure the integrity of the data.
Only the first 8 bytes are used for the user has h values, but the full 32 bytes are used for the has h value of the entire file.
If an empty namelist file is imported, i.e. without specification of named users, CodeMeter deletes the associated file if it exists.
If a namelist file is re-imported, occupied license accesses are not released. If users suddenly no longer have authorization
due to a change in the namelist file, they will also no longer be assigned new license accesses. However, previous license
accesses can still be used.
The locations of the imported namelist then generated by cm u for the different operating systems are:
Operating system Location
%ProgramData%/CodeMeter/NamedUser
Window s
/Library/Application Support/CodeMeter/NamedUser
macOS

112
Manual
CMU - CodeMeter Universal Support Tool

Operating system Location

/var/lib/CodeMeter/NamedUser
Linux
The notation bases on Firm Code and NameListId, e.g. 6000010-2222.txt.
Subsequently, CodeMeter handles license accesses of users on the namelist .
Hash output of a namelist file
Option Description
--show- outputs the has hes of a namelist file into file <filename>. .
namelisthashes Eac h line outputs a single Named User entry of the namelist .
-f <filename> Eac h line contains exactly tw o fields separated by a tab.
Field Description
1 contains the credential type entry (modes ), i.e. either User , UserDomain or Userdefined .
The strings are s hortened here to the lengths that are specified internally by the CMCREDENTIAL structure
and over w hic h has hing is performed.
2 represents the credential type entry as an 8-byte has h in hex string format.
The output is in UTF-8 format on stdout and can be further processed from there w ith appropriate applications, e.g.
programming language aw k for processing and evaluation of any text data.
cmu[32].exe --show-namelist-hashes -f NamedUserHashing_user.json

Listing rejected license allocations

The List-Rejected-Allocations feature allows to track all rejected license allocations 121
for a specific CodeMeter
License Server (local or remote) and retrieve them as a list of log entries.
The log entries listed cover the following information: timestamp (UTC), LicenseID, Firm Code, Product Code, Product Item Reference,
License Quantity, and client and user information.
Configuring allows the data output either for individual Firm Codes or for all Firm Codes (default). In addition, specifying the
maximum number of log entries is supported. The current status of the log entries may be retrieved at any time.
If the data is not retrieved, it will no longer be available after restarting CodeMeter License Server. However, if only the feature is
deactivated, the data remains and can be retrieved later. Only after a later reactivation, all not retrieved data of the previous
recording will be lost.
The use of this feature is independent of license tracking 117 .
Users must actively retrieve the data via cm u. The data is then written to the command line (stdout) or to a user-defined
file.
Recorded data is not automatically written to a log file at a central location, as is the case with the license tracking log,
for example.

The feature can also be activated, disabled and configured via profiling entries in the registry (Windows) / Server.ini (Unix).
22

For efficient or effective use of listed rejected license assignments two different strategies can be followed. Either a high
number of log entries can be set with potentially higher memory consumption and not so frequent data retrievals. Or a low
number of log entries can be set with potentially lower memory consumption and the need to retrieve data more frequently to
avoid missing rejections when the limit of the maximum number of log entries is reached.
Command Description
--list-rejected-
allocations
Options
--activate activates logging of rejected allocations.

CodeMeter Administrator Manual 7.40b - April 2022

Command Description

Please note, that w hen activating via cmu w ithout explicitly specifying the '--firmcode ' or '--
max-entries ' parameters, no values that may already exist in profiling are loaded. Rather, these
are set to their defaults (Firmcode 22 = '0', MaxEntries 22 = '1000').

Additional parameter:
--firmcode <fc> specifies a single Firm Code via <fc> for w hic h logging is to be activated.
--max-entries specifies the maximum number of log entries via <num> .
<num>] The default is 1000. V alues betw een 1 and 200000 can be selected.
If the maximum number of log entries is reac hed, an additional log entry is
issued w hen the data is retrieved, informing about the time w indow in w hic h
no 'rejections' w ere recorded. This corresponds to the difference betw een the
timestamps of the last tw o entries.

--status queries the current status of logging.
--get-data CodeMeter License Ser ver and issues them in order of occurrence of rejected
queries all data logged by
license assignments as a time-sorted list in the console (stdout ).
Additional parameter:
[--file Optionally, the data can also be w ritten to a file.
<filename>] The --file parameter is used either to extend an existing file by appending the
data until the maximum number of log entries is reac hed, or to create a new file w ith
the specified name if none already exists.
Optional
--server <ip or allow s to execute the above commands also for a remote computer.

Manual
CodeMeter License Tracking

1.11 CodeMeter License Tracking

Starting with Version 4.50 CodeMeter introduces license tracking allowing for the evaluation of licensing data based on
structured logfiles. With it the actual use of licenses is recorded.
However, Wibu-Systems does not offer a separate application for license tracking but suggests that software vendors who
want to evaluate how their licenses are used refer to tools by third parties able to aggregate information from real-time
requests or logfiles.
Secure Licence Tracking
Starting with Version 5.20 CodeMeter supports Secure License Tracking. This ensures that license access log data is written
manipulation-safe. Manipulation is prevented by authenticated check of data integrity using signatures.
For analyzing license access data not a single log file is created but separate logfiles for each Firm Code. Integrity and
authenticity of the log files preventing tampering is ensured by signatures and a subsequent signature check.
Validation
In order to validate either the contents of a given signed CodeMeter log file or a sequence of log files located in a given directory
use the option in Cm BoxPgm the developer tool for local programming of Cm Container using a command line (console).
Command /vslf - V alidation Of Signed Log Files
V alidates either the contents of a given signed CodeMeter log file or a sequence of log files located in a given directory.
Expects the path to the file that contains the public keys to use for validation and the path to the log file respectively log directory
as arguments.
Syntax /vslf:<public key file>,<log file>|<log directory>
The <public key file> musst be created as comma separated file (CSV ).
For this file the follow ing notation is valid:
<major version>,<minor version>, <firm code>, Ox<public key>
You can specify several different values and public keys for separate runtime versions.
You obtain the required values from one of the created CodeMeter log files.
From the CodeMeter log file:
2014-06-24T06:06:19 SignedLogfile FirmCode:10,
PublicKey:a809304778d517c44a22d65e1fcedd51a4e2a956fa89e93bb1a24e2100000000a2ad17e685306d

6e15eb6b7ebc8cc72ebc97c0f52721b584836696de00000000
Currently, the logfile content is saved locally but for future version its is planned that contents may also be retrieved using HTTP
access and calls (real-time history).
If the logfiles need to be read from other systems, you must s hare the folder where the logfiles are stored as read-only
in your local area network.

The following sections briefly:

· s how how to configure License Tracking
117

· introduce definitons and value ranges used in the logfile 119

· describe single logfile entry types

120

1.11.1 Requirements and Configuration

Using the CodeMeter feature License Tracking requires at least CodeMeter License Server Version 4.50.
Using the feature Secure License Tracking requires at least CodeMeter License Server Version 5.20.
Configuration
The logging of licensing data must be activated together with CodeMeter License Server. This you do by direct activation in the
CodeMeter Profiling environment.

Profiling
For Windows operating systems you find the profiling entries stored in the registry, for other operating systems entries are set
in the file server.ini. The following table s hows you the respective locations.
Operating system Registry / Server.ini Entry

Window s HKLM/SOFTWARE/WIBU-SYSTEMS/CodeMeter/Server/CurrentVersion
macOS /Library/Preferences/com.wibu.CodeMeter.Server.ini
Linux /etc/wibu/CodeMeter/Server.ini

117
CodeMeter Administrator Manual 7.40b - April 2022

The following relevant profiling entries for License Track ing exist.
Entry Property V alue

LogLicenseTracking [DWord] [0;1]

Default value is is 0 and Logging for License Tracking is disabled.

LogLicenseTrackingPath/ [SZ] <path>

[Firm Code]/
Default path on Window s operating systems is %ProgramData%
\CodeMeter\LicenseTracking.
For eac h Firm Code a separate directory is created.
For example, the log file for Firm Code 10 is saved to the directory
<LogLicenseTrackingPath>/FC10/ .
For other operating systems the default path has the same value of the general
profiling entry LogPath .
LogLicenseTrackingLogRot [DWord] [1..3500]
ationSizeInMb If a license tracking log file exceeds a siz e of x MB, the rotation starts.
The input range of x is from 1 to 3500 MB.
The default value is 1000 MB.
If the specified value is outside the input range, automatically the default value applies.
LogLicenseTrackingLogRot [DWord] [0..525600]
ationTimeInMinutes If the oldest entry of a license tracking log file is older than n minutes, the rotation starts.
The input range of n is from 0 to 525600 minutes (approx. 1 year).
Please note that after specifying n , the log file starts to rotate after a time delay of about 1
minute.
The default value is 0 minutes. Then time-based log rotating is deactivated.
If the specified value is outside the input range, automatically the default value applies.

Please note that you must stop the CodeMeter License Server service, make the change, and then restart the
CodeMeter L icense Server service before th e ch ange can take effect.

Manual
CodeMeter License Tracking

Logfile Rotation
In order to manage the constant growth of log files efficiently, CodeMeter offers a rotating system in the area of license tracking.
This system can be set via two parameters in profiling.
· LogLicenseTrackingLogRotationSizeInMb
If a license tracking log file exceeds a size of x MB, the rotation starts.
The input range of x is from 1 to 3500 MB.
· The default value is 1000 MB.
If the specified value is outside the input range, automatically the default value applies.
· LogLicenseTrackingLogRotationTimeInMinutes
If the oldest entry of a license tracking log file is older than n minutes, the rotation s hould start.
The input range of n is from 0 to 525600 minutes (approx. 1 year).
Please note that after specifying n, the log file starts to rotate after a time delay of about 1 minute.
The default value is 0 minutes. Then time-based log rotating is deactivated.
If the specified value is outside the input range, automatically the default value applies.
1.11.2 Logfile Format
The following logic applies to the format of the logfile.
1. Each line in the logfile can be handled separately. There exist separate lines for different entry types . 120

2. Each line that does not match to the described formats has to be ignored.
This will allow us to enhance the output in future versions without causing trouble in working solutions.
It is also recommended to do a parsing of the different arguments of a line and simply to ignore arguments that are not
known.
This allows us to enhance the output in future versions without causing trouble in working solutions.

1.11.2.1 Definitions and Value Ranges

For the logfile and single entry types the following definitions and value ranges are used:
Definition V alue Range
access ID string
The <access ID> is given by the server and extends the <license ID> by an index
describing the slot, i.e. <license ID> -<slot ID> .

application ID [0..4294967295]
application text string
enabling block index [0..31]
expiration time ["never"|UTC Timestamp]
feature map [0..4294967295]
firm code [0..4294967295]
hash string
license ID string
The <license ID> is automatically derived as <mask>-<serial number>-<firm code>-
<product item reference> , e.g. “2-1500002-100532-18 ”. The <license ID> is a
unique IDentifier for a license entry.
license quantity [0..4294967295]
list of hashes string
logfileID [0..4294967295] ID value of the log file.
In order to prevent that a single or several log files can be deleted eac h log file must have a separate ID.
mask [0..65535]
namelist id [1..4294967295]

119
CodeMeter Administrator Manual 7.40b - April 2022

number of users [0..5000]

product code [0..4294967295]
product item reference [0..4294967295]
product item text string
serial [0..4294967295]
server string
slot ID [0..4294967295]
timestamp UTC Timestamp
UTC Timestamp sample: “2012-12-24T08:32:59 ”.

Since the strings may contain quotation marks (") but may also be bracketed expressions, any quotation marks that are
part of the string are quoted by a backslas h (\). For example, the application text The b est of "John Doe." will be issued as
...AppText: "The best of \"John Doe.\""

1.11.3 Entry Types

The CodeMeter license tracking logfile knows the following listed entry types.

time>, LQ:<license quantity>, PT:"<product item text>"

Before all License entries are re-written on changing entries all allocated licenses are released by a Release entry. Immediately
after issuing the License entries the previously released licenses are again allocated by an Access entry.
This is necessary because license IDs can change on re-programming or on plugout and the subsequent rebooking.
Moreover, the access ID may change by automatic rebooking after plugout.
Licenses with a License Quantity value of 0 (license for local use use) are not listed.
The Expiration Time contains the minimum of the Product Item Option Expiration Time and the value of an activated Product
Item Option Usage Period. If neither an Expiration Time is set nor a Usage Period exists or is activated the value is “never”.

1.12 License Access Permissions: Access Controll List (ACL)

CodeMeter offers the feature to control license accesses with the help of a list of license access permissions: the so-called
Access Control List (ACL).
The rulesets that control these license accesses can be created, for example, in CodeMeter WebAdm in. For detailed
information about rulesets 75 see the CodeMeter Administrator Manual and/or the CodeMeter User Help.
In addition, an import/export interface allows these rules to be edited externally. Using the CodeMeter command line tool
cm u , ACLs corresponding to a defined JSON format can be imported and/or exported.
106

A specification of the grammar is a prerequisite for automated generation or validation.

This document is intended for people with basic CodeMeter and JSON knowledge. The goal is to provide the necessary basics
to implement the following use cases:
· Import and export of lists
· (automated) creation of lists
· (automated) validation of lists
Structure of the documentation
This documentation is divided into different sections.
The following sections describe the system requirements 124 and provide an overview of ACL terms 124 as an introduction.
Subsequently, the section Creating ACL sample lists 125 cover step-by-step instructions on how to create an ACL with
CodeMeter We bAdm in and import and export with cmu. R ulesets for different levels (Cm Conta iner, Firm Code, Product Code) are

created and the corresponding JSON representations are explained.

The section The JSON format of ACL 132 provides a reference about the contents and structure of the JSON format as well as
its semantics.
Finally, the appendix 135 includes:
· further examples
· a formal grammar specification (EBN F) of the ACL.
This section addresses requirements for automated processing of the format.
1.12.1 System requirements
The following system requirements apply for using extended license access permissions (ACL, Access Control List):
· Windows 10 operating system (recommended)
· CodeMeter installation (at least version 7.20)
· Active Directory (w hen using group and user rules)

1.12.2 Terms and definitions

For a better understanding, please refer to the following list of terms.

Manual
License Access Permissions: Access Controll List (ACL)

1.12.3 Creating ACL example lists

The following section s hows as an example the creation of a simple list using CodeMeter WebAdm in and its associated
JSON representation. For more information, especially on the use of CodeMeter WebAdm in, please refer to the CodeMeter
Developer Guide (topic: License Access Permissions).
The manual describes the procedure for the Windows operating system.
Requirements
The following steps require:
· CodeMeter version greater than or e qual to version 7.20 is installed.
· The services CodeMeter L icense Server and CodeMeter WebAdm in are started.
· At least one license with Firm Code and Product Code (FC:PC) is displayed in CodeMeter WebAdm in.

1.12.3.1 Step 1: Creating an enpty ACL

1. Open the CodeMeter WebAdm in interface via CodeMeter Control Center.
2. Navigate to "Configuration I Server Configuration I License Access Permissions ".
3. On this page, the "Advanced" mode s hould be selected, if the "Basic" selection displays.
Defined rules in the Advanced Mode Configuration group s hould be deleted.
4. Any necessary changes must be confirmed by clicking the "Apply" button.

5. Exporting an empty ACL with the cm u command line tool.

> cmu32 --export-acl -f01_ACL_Empty.json

SUCCESS: License Access Permissions (Access Control List) were exported to: 01_ACL_Empty.json
List output using cm u
> type 01_ACL_Empty.json
The output s hows the global parameters Enabled, GroupsMaximumNumber and UsersMaximumNumber as well as the
AccessControlList object with a Default rule and an empty list of container rule sets.

"UsersMaximumNumber": 10000
}
1.12.3.2 Step 2: Creating an ACL with specific Container rule set
Based on the empty ACL created in step 1, a rule is next created for a Cm Container. Exemplary with the serial number 130-
729831162. The state after step 1 125 can be establis hed by importing the created (empty) ACL.
1. Importing the empty ACL.
> cmu32 --import-acl -f01_ACL_Empty.json

SUCCESS: License Access Permissions (Access Control List) were imported from: 01_ACL_Empty.json
The result can be checked on the CodeMeter WebAdm in interface. It may be necessary to reload the page in the browser.
2. Adding a new container in the specific rule set, e.g. 130-729831162, and clicking the "Apply" button.

Exportng the ACL using cm u:

> cmu32 --export-acl -f02_ACL_Container.json

SUCCESS: License Access Permissions (Access Control List) were exported to:
02_ACL_Container.json
Output the list result with cmu (line numbers added):
> type 02_ACL_Container.json

38 "Enabled": true,
39 "GroupsMaximumNumber": 10000,
40 "UsersMaximumNumber": 10000
41 }
The rule set defined in CodeMeter WebAdm in is part of the ContainerRulesets (line 3-23).
Following is a slightly differently formatted representation:

19 "Text": "FB52232",
20 "Value": "130-729831162",
21 "__type": "ContainerRuleset"
22 }],
23
The snippet s hows:
· N o further speciali zation exists for this Cm Container at Firm Code level (list in line 5 is empty).
· N o rule has been defined. Lines 7-17 contain only the Default rule that is always present.
· The name of the container is FB52232 (Key "Text", line 19).
· The serial number is 130-729 831162 (Key "Value", line 20).
· It is a container object (Key "__type", line 21)
1.12.3.3 Step 3: Creating an ACL with a Firm Code ruleset (without Container assignment)
Starting from the empty ACL created in step 1 125 , this step adds a rule to a Firm Code, e.g. 6000010 with Firm Item Text "Test FC").
The state after step 1 can be establis hed by importing the created (empty) ACL.
1. Importing the empty ACL.
> cmu32 --import-acl -f01_ACL_Empty.json

SUCCESS: License Access Permissions (Access Control List) were imported from: 01_ACL_Empty.json
The result can be checked on the CodeMeter WebAdm in interface. It may be necessary to reload the page in the browser.
2. Adding a new Firm Code in the specific rule set, e.g. 6000010 with Firm Item Text "Test FC"), and clicking the "Apply" button.

Exporting the ACL using cm u:

> cmu32 --export-acl -f03_ACL_FC_Only.json

}
],
"__type": "AccessControlList"
},
"Enabled": true,
"GroupsMaximumNumber": 10000,
"UsersMaximumNumber": 10000
}
No rules have been defined yet, only a set of rules at "Firm Code" level.
Default rule
In this case, however, an ACL object is assigned a (Default) rule. This always has the following content:
{
"Action": "Allow",
"Allocated": 0,
"Limit": 0,
"Reserved": 0,
"RuleId": 0,
"Type": "Default",
"Value": "",
"__type": "Rule"
}
In the following, this rule is replaced by the entry. After an insertion of line numbers and some reformatting, the result looks
as follows:
1 {
2 "AccessControlList": {
3 "ContainerRulesets": [
4 {
5 "FcRulesets": [
6 {
7 "PcRulesets": [],
8 "Rules": [<Default-Rule>],

20 },
21 "Enabled": true,
22 "GroupsMaximumNumber": 10000,
23 "UsersMaximumNumber": 10000
24 }
The object AccessControlList covers the lines 2-20 and holds a list with a ContainerRuleset (i.e. AllContainer-
Ruleset):

129

12 }],
13 "Rules": [<Default-Rule>],
14 "Text": "All Containers",
15 "Value": "All",
16 "__type": "ContainerRuleset"
17 }]
The AllContainer ruleset is selected if no matching rule set is found for a container. The rule set defined for Firm Code
6000010 of the example can be found in lines 5-12:
5 "FcRulesets": [
6 {
7 "PcRulesets": [],
8 "Rules": [<Default-Rule>],
9 "Text": "Test FC",
10 "Value": 6000010,
11 "__type": "FcRuleset"
12 }],
No rule has been defined at Product Code level for this Firm Code. For this reason, the PcRulesets list (line 7) is empty. Lines
9-10 contain the Firm Code and the Firm Item Text. The type of the object is in line 11.
1.12.3.4 Step 4: Creating an ACL with a Firm Code rule set (with Container assignment)
Based on the ACL with Container-Ruleset created in step 2 126
(for 130-729831162), this section defines a rule set for a
Firm Code 6000010 in this container.
1. Importing the ACL.
> cmu32 --import-acl -f 02_ACL_Container.json

SUCCESS: License Access Permissions (Access Control List) were imported from:
02_ACL_Container.json
The result can be checked on the CodeMeter WebAdm in interface. It may be necessary to reload the page in the browser.
2. Adding a rule set to a Firm Code 6000010 in CodeMeter WebAdm in to container 130-729831162 and clicking the "Apply"
button.
3. Exporting the ACL using cm u:
> cmu32 --export-acl -f04_ACL_Container_FC.json

SUCCESS: License Access Permissions (Access Control List) were exported to:
04_ACL_Container_FC.json
Output the list result (line numbers added and default rules replaced):

Lines 3-17 s how entries for the defined container rule set. Within the area is also the definition of the single Firm Code rule
set (lines 6-17).
1.12.3.5 Step 5: Creating an ACL with a Product Code rule set (with Container assignment)
Based on the ACL with Container and Firm Code rule set created in step 4 130 , this section defines a rule set for a Product Code in it.
In contrast to the previous examples, a concrete rule for localhost is defined in it. The state after step 4 is establis hed and
then the ACL created there is imported:
1. Importing the ACL.
> cmu32 --import-acl -f 04_ACL_Container_FC.json

SUCCESS: License Access Permissions (Access Control List) were imported from:
04_ACL_Container_FC.json
The result can be checked on the CodeMeter WebAdm in interface. It may be necessary to reload the page in the browser.
2. In the CodeMeter WebAdm in interface, the corresponding Firm Code rule set is selected and a Product Code (rule set) is
added. A new rule is added to the (Product Code) rule set. In the dialog that opens, the following is entered under Computer
localhost.

Exporting the ACL using cm u:

> cmu32 --export-acl –f 05_ACL_Container_FC_PC_Rule.json

SUCCESS: License Access Permissions (Access Control List) were exported to:
05_ACL_Container_FC_PC_Rule.json

21 "__type": "Rule"
22 }, Access Permissions (Access Control List) were exported to:
05_ACL_Container_FC_PC_Rule.json

A rule has been defined for a computer. This includes the entry for the key "Type" in line 19. In line 20, the name
"localhost" is found for the "Value".
1.12.4 The JSON format of the ACL
The AccessControlList defines a hierarchical structure of (access) rules with increasing specialization. If several rules of
different specialization match a license access (Access), the most special rule is selected.
The following hierarchy levels exist:
· without container assignment
· a
Cm Cont iner

· Firm Code
· Product Code
Rules or rule sets can be defined for each of these levels. These have a JSON object representation.
Each object is specified by its type (key "__type"). According to the hierarchy levels the following types exist:
· AccessControlList
132

HID Support

1.13 HID Support

Starting with Version 5.0 CodeMeter supports devices that conform to the USB's Human Interface Device (HID) class
specification.
The installation of a special USB host driver is not required since the communication via the USB HID class is standardized
and the operating systems provide respective classes. Currently, the operating systems Windows, macOS, and Linux are
supported.
Alternatively to the Mass Storage Device status, thus Cm Dongles can display as HID without a drive status.

The communication class HID is available for many Cm Dongle. Please consult the respective data s heet for support

CodeMeter Administrator Manual 7.40b - April 2022

1.13.3 Linux Kernel Settings

CodeMeter requires a working USB hotplugging infrastructure for the detection of a Cm Dongle. Thus make sure that the
hotplug is working properly.
If hotplugging seems not to work on a new Linux distribution, please check if the new "udev" mechanism is used. If "udev" is
used, the problem can be fixed by copying the file /usr/share/CodeMeter/52-codemeter.rules into the
directory /etc/udev/rules.d/.
For the communication between CodeMeterLin and the Cm Dongle, CodeMeterLin requires a Linux kernel (Kernel 2.4.x or
Kernel 2.6.x) with support for USB mass storage, human interface (HID) and scsi-generic devices. If you use a self compiled
Linux Kernel, please check if you have activated usb-storage and sg-device support (as modules).
General Kernel configuration display settings including USB mass storage or HID (Human Interface Device):
CmDongle via USB as MSD (CmStick, CmStick/M, CmCard):
CONFIG_SYSFS
CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT
CONFIG_USB_*_HCD* (respective Host Controller)
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SG (for passthrough communication)
CONFIG_*_FS (for file I/O, the respective file system)

CmStick via USB as HID:

CONFIG_SYSFS
CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT
CONFIG_USB_*_HCD* (respective Host Controller)
CONFIG_HID
CONFIG_HIDRAW
CONFIG_USB_HID

CmCard via internal card reader (e.g. SDHCI):

CONFIG_SYSFS
CONFIG_MMC
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK
CONFIG_MMC_* (for the respective card reader)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SG (for passthrough communication)
CONFIG_*_FS (for file I/O, the respective file system)

CmCard via A TA:

CONFIG_SYSFS
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD
CONFIG_ATA + respective A TA Host adapter/controller
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SG (for passthrough communication)
CONFIG_*_FS (for file I/O, the respective file system)

If your Linux Kernel is configured properly, use the command:

codemeter-info -L
to get a list of all Cm Dongles connected to your system. If this is not the case, you have probably a general problem with your
Linux Kernel or a Kernel module could not be loaded correctly.

Implicit Firm Item The Implicit Firm Item level in the CmContainer features the same c haracteristic as usual Firm Items ). It simply
has some distinct features. While all other level are c haracteriz ed by the existence of an exclusive Firm Code
w hic h is unique for eac h licensor, the Implicit Firm Item level has the Firm Code of 0. This implies that eac h
ow ner of the CmContainer has licensor privileges for the Implicit Firm Item level including w rite access.
IP Protection Protection solution of CodeMeter Protection Suite w ithout licensing, i.e. reverse engineering is prevented, but
not copying the application. This makes this solution suitable for test versions, demo softw are and freemium
business models, since protected applications do not require runtime components of CodeMeter. The key for
decrypting the application is hidden in the application itself. Not to be confused w ith Protection O nl y licenses.
These w orks similar to IP Protection, but alw ays require a CodeMeter Runtime installed w ith administrator
rights.
IxProtector Individual advanced protection tec hnology applied for softw are and digital content as tool of CodeMeter
Protection Suite. 'Real' source code fragments are encrypted and decrypted by interfaces (Software
Protection API, WUPI) and security mec hanisms. Suited to implement modular softw are protection.
Core API Pow erful interface to communicate w ith CmContainer at runtime of CodeMeter License Server. All other APIs
