Supercharged with new and augmented automation capabilities and even more flexibility, the secure distribution of software is entering a new phase: Core features, integration in software applications, and complete support for back office processes have all been supplemented with unique functionalities for the world market.
No Time to Idle – License availability for business continuity
Software and smart system developers utilize licensing as a pivotal element for monetization, safeguarding intellectual property, and mitigating piracy risks. For industries like automotive or critical infrastructures, uninterrupted license access is essential to prevent costly downtime. CodeMeter's Triple Mode Redundancy ensures consistent license availability through a resilient two-out-of-three server system, critical for operations where every minute of productivity counts.
Cloud-Based Licensing in Offline Scenarios
In the enterprise world, cloud-based software licensing allows for quick, dynamic management by admins. However, manufacturing facilities often operate offline for reliability and security. Despite this, Industry 4.0 initiatives are pushing data online via dedicated gateways. The challenge lies in bridging online license servers with offline users on the shop floor. This requires an intermediate step, often a standard PC or physical data sharing that CodeMeter can facilitate.
Optimizing Cloud Licensing: Strategies and Best Practices
There are two main approaches to cloud licensing: licenses managed via cloud but located on local devices and those used directly in the cloud, including mixed forms of direct and indirect access through several local license servers. In this class, we dissect various deployment scenarios, the difference between Personal and Enterprise CmCloudContainers, how to optimally configure them through CodeMeter License Portal, and workflows for managing users and their access rights.
For a Few Licenses More
What’s the best approach for automating the license creation, distribution, and management process using CodeMeter License Central? It could be that License Central itself takes the lead, or alternatively, your current ERP system steps up to manage the process – or maybe even a hybrid approach works best for your situation. Either way, the cooperative links and interfaces between your ERP system and CodeMeter License Central make it all work together in harmony.
Protecting and Licensing .NET Applications
.NET is indeed one of the top leading choices for global software publishers. However, protecting and licensing .NET applications requires different skills and tools from regular methods applied to C/C++. The intermediate code that is generated remains accessible for snooping and tampering by would-be hackers and license checks could thus be removed or replaced by forged calls. CodeMeter Protection Suite comes with a dedicated AxProtector .NET module that does the heavy lifting for you.
A Bit of License Management Magic
License management and monitoring as well as user registration and activity tracking can be made easier with a Software Activation Wizard that matches your processes, workflows, and requirements. With just CodeMeter License Central and the right gateways in the cloud, you can set up your own SAW and be in control of automatic license updates, such as adding or removing features, renewing subscriptions when payment has been received, locating, blacklisting, and even locking licenses.
The first step is always the most decisive
An extra gear for software publishers with our Developer Portal, the first access point to Wibu-Systems flagship technology for worldwide prospects. No need to wait for the physical toolkit anymore: You can immediately start testing the complete array of CodeMeter protection and licensing capabilities with a fully secure cloud-based license container; the portal will guide you through the entire initial experience with videos and helpful information – One solution for demo, trial, and full software versions.
Protection and monetization of 3D printed objects in the spare parts business of Daimler Buses
With a revolutionary move, Daimler Buses has leveraged the full power of additive manufacturing and allowed the owners and operators of Mercedes Benz and Setra busses to produce the spare parts themselves with 3D printing. All they need for these mini-factories are a certified 3D printer from Farsoon Technologies and the CodeMeter licenses for the parts they want to print. Wibu-Systems' technology provides the basis for a secure digital process chain with complete control over how many parts can be and are printed on the ground.
How and Why to Create and Sell Consumption-Based Licenses
Pricing policy is an executive matter, and, for software developers, retail prices are directly related to different licensing options. By technically and commercially dissecting three representative implementations of consumption-based licenses that software publishers have made possible with the power of CodeMeter, we assess the calculation methods, the sales benefits, and the configurations in online and offline scenarios that make consumption-based licensing a viable alternative to more traditional licensing choices.
Serving Up Features-on-Demand for Every Appetite
The salami technique applied to software business management – Over their evolution, many software products tend to get bigger and bigger as the developers try to fulfil new user expectations or add new technology capabilities. With features-on-demand, users are not forced to buy or pay for the entire package, but only for the features they want. A win-win strategy where the seller gets their software to the user at a lower entry price, and the users can spend more for add-on features.
Security and Protection for Machine Learning
Machine learning is reliable - provided the AI algorithm that generates the trained model is sound and has not been tampered with. The IP you need to protect includes the training data set, the training setup, and the resulting trained model. With CodeMeter, you can encrypt the model to safeguard it against unauthorized use, copying, or espionage in both online and offline scenarios. Additionally, CodeMeter can encrypt and sign data to add an extra layer of security on top of anonymization or pseudonymization.
License Portal – The DIY Solution
A license portal is the perfect self-service solution for your clients and distribution partners. It allows for moving licenses to other devices, dongles or users, recovering lost licenses, generating and activating emergency licenses, creating demo or trial licenses, binding cloud licenses to other devices, changing the access details for cloud licenses, defining hierarchies for different roles and, of course, also keeping track of all license actions you and your customers operate and customizing the look and feel to match your brand.
Away from prying eyes: Running code in secure hardware or cloud environments
The means of protection need to be appropriate for the value and appeal of your software. With CodeMeter AxProtector, you can safeguard your compiled applications against automatic hacking. IxProtector and Core API increase security even more. However, it’s only with CodeMoving, that you reach optimal protection: by moving essential code into a CmDongle or a CmCloudContainer for execution, it keeps it far away from the prying eyes of would-be hackers.
Subscriptions: Relationships built to last
Subscriptions range somewhere between the holy grail and the gold standard for software management. They promise a steady stream of income to the vendors and an affordable access to software without steep upfront costs to the users. Technically speaking, licenses can be set to run as long as a cancellation of the plan occurs or renewed regularly. In the latter case, you should still take the necessary steps and decide whether the renewal should be triggered automatically or by an ERP system or online store, or plan ahead for a multi-channel sales of time contingents.
Protecting Node.js-based JavaScript Applications
Over time, JavaScript has matured to a language of choice for desktop and server applications. While server applications were safe and sound in their maker’s own datacenter, now they are let out “into the wild”, and JavaScript’s very nature makes it easy for skilled attackers to remove or get around license checks. Unless you add AxProtector JavaScript, which has been mainly designed for Node.js-based use cases and made to guarantee top protection by encrypting the executable code and optionally integrating license checks right in the application itself.
Safer to market: Licensing and e-commerce integrated
Companies that used to sell hardware only are now letting software and firmware determine the feature sets of their products. To monetize these investments, vendors need ways to market, manage, and enforce licenses, and not just for the initial purchase, but also for subsequent aftermarket feature activation or subscription renewals. E-commerce providers like Cleverbridge cover the commercial part of the requirements, while CodeMeter License Central is there for entitlement management and enforcement.
1+1= 3: Managing entitlements through the product lifecycle
The ability to monetize software products has become one of the factors deciding the fate and fortunes of companies. Licensing responds to the many needs and requirements. Managing licensing and user entitlements is an issue that concerns many functions and departments across the entire business. The combined solution offered by SAP Entitlement Management System and CodeMeter bridges the gap between sales, provisioning, and fulfillment.
Your CODESYS applications protected and licensed
The ability to protect the invaluable intellectual property invested in or handled by the software has become a game changer in our digital world, even when it comes to industrial controllers and networks. CODESYS, the leading hardware-independent IEC 61131-3 programming system used to create controller applications under Windows, seized upon this trend at a very early stage and is fully integrated with CodeMeter Runtime.
Creating, delivering, and managing licenses made easy
CodeMeter License Central is not the only available tool in the CodeMeter’s universe for license creation, delivery, and management, but it provides many great advantages over any other: ISVs can choose multiple license containers, select a myriad of license models, handle lost licenses, and automate their backend processes. And end users have several self-service options available at their fingertips, including license transfer to other devices or users.
The Key Role of Long-Term Compatibility
Technology is evolving at a record pace: It is rare for five-year-old software to still run without problems, and the chances of software still being supported and working after a decade are fast approaching zero. In an always-online world, security patches are also a constant necessity to protect users from attackers, but patching software costs time and money. Learn the long-term support policy options available to CodeMeter’s users for older OS versions.
Everything You Always Wanted to Know About FSBs – But Were Afraid to Ask
In the CodeMeter universe, we always refer to Firm Security Boxes (FSBs) as the primary keys to your secure licensing kingdom. Still, there are different types of FSBs that give you access to the complete array of functions or a subset only, multiple FSBs you can own for the different roles you assign within your team, and two implementation options: you hold your own FSB or we rather host your FSB in case you opt for a cloud-based compiler like Azure Pipeline.
Protecting Python applications the simpler way
Python has become an increasingly attractive choice for software developers, also thanks to the sheer range of solid, up-to-date resources for AI and machine learning applications. However, its simplicity makes it an appealing target for would-be attackers. With the latest iteration of CodeMeter Protection Suite, you no longer need to transform your Python code into a native application; encrypting Python code effectively is now possible in its original form.
Embedded Devices: Big Opportunities in Tiny Packages
The recent technological advances have dramatically changed the way embedded systems are programmed and made it easier to customize hardware-based features. As software drives innovation, licensing and security expertise becomes crucial in the embedded systems domain. With IP theft, espionage, data and code manipulation, hijacking, and ransomware growing rampant, new skills have to be mastered to generate new revenue streams in the global digital economy while keeping core assets protected.
Real licenses in virtual environments
Virtual environments are becoming increasingly popular. Virtualization is cost-efficient and extremely flexible, and it is easy to use with major providers, such as Amazon (AWS) or Microsoft (Azure). However, virtualization exposes ISVs to additional software protection and licensing threats. With CodeMeter, you have the tools and methods you need to safeguard your IP, no matter which virtual environment configuration you and your customers prefer.
License Models – Spicing up the mix
Over the last decades, licensing has surged to become a true business enabler for any digital asset, with the advent of cloud computing supercharging its potential. However, not all use cases are born equal, and a servitazion approach can make all the difference for a successful impact on a global scale. CodeMeter supports a vast array of licensing schemes, giving software developers the ability to offer users as much freedom as they want without compromising on security.
Lost licenses: The fine balance of trust
Wibu-Systems’ CodeMeter comes preloaded with a versatile repertoire of safeguards and mechanisms to ensure that lost licenses are just a brief inconvenience and neither a burden on users nor an open door to malicious actors for software publishers. Regardless of the license container of your choice, CodeMeter provides user-friendly recovery mechanisms, blacklists, and smart license configurations to prevent illicit use of the original license you delivered.
Who are you? Authentication by certificates
Digital certificates have proved their worth as a strong means of authentication for decades. With IIoT taking center stage in industrial automation, machines need to be identified securely as well to stop illicit users or systems from sneaking in and potentially wreaking havoc in networks. X.509 certificates, coupled with communication protocols like OPC UA and hardware-based safe storage solutions like CmDongles, are ideal choices to meet the challenges of today.
Best Practices for License Management
CodeMeter addresses the needs of all software publishers from all sectors of industry. With CodeMeter License Central, they have the tool they need to map any licensing model. Both experienced software vendors who are exploring a possible migration to CodeMeter and newcomers who are dipping their toe in the water with CodeMeter can improve the art of mapping out their licensing schemes to make them as simple as possible and as complex as necessary.
Feeling Right at Home: Uniform Processes for Online and Offline Licenses
As the CodeMeter technology expands to welcome CodeMeter Cloud and reaps all of the mobility benefits associated with making licenses available in the cloud, anytime, and from any device, software developers should feel at home: All workflows for creating, delivering, changing, and managing licenses stay the same, whether you choose hard, soft, or cloud license containers. You can mix and match them in a heterogeneous architecture. All you need is to choose whether you want your licenses offline on a computer, mobile on a dongle, or online in the cloud.
Total Control over your Protection and Licensing Process
CodeMeter provides different paths to strong protection and flexible licensing. With CodeMeter Core API, you are in control over every option in the process: you can create simple license queries that you can make available via a wrapper as company-wide standard libraries, manage licensing operations, implement tailored cryptographic functions, and customize queries for maximum security. Combine it with Wibu Universal Protection Interface and CodeMeter Protection Suite and you’ll have the perfect security setup.
Automatic License Updates: Usership and Usability
The manufacturers who will still be holding the reins in tomorrow’s markets are the ones who are first to understand that the product ownership era is coming to an end, to transition from products to services, to rethink their entire supply chain from a radically new perspective, to implement newer licensing models and enable license updates transparently in the background when the software is started, without the customer having to take any additional action other than placing the purchase order.
Licensing for cross-platform applications made with Python, PHP, and JavaScript
With HTML5 applications and environments, easy-to-deploy frameworks like Electron and node.js, and Docker containers, languages that used to be confined to the online world are becoming the focus of on-premise applications alike. Similarly, the technological barrier between cloud, edge and on-premise applications is becoming increasingly blurred. This change creates new conditions for software protection and licensing that CodeMeter Runtime, CodeMeter Protection Suite, CodeMeter Core API, and CodeMeter Cloud Lite address with unique strategies.
The fastest way to protect your know-how
Intellectual property can come in all shapes and sizes, spanning from algorithms mapped in software to sensitive documents or data made available to service technicians for their maintenance work. If your IP is stolen, you can always sue later on, but prevention is better than cure. With CodeMeter Protection Suite, Wibu-Systems provides a whole battery of IP protection tools that you can integrate quickly and easily into your software. These tools are tailored to suit the specificities of the development environments and target platforms used.
Your Migration Map to a Comprehensive Protection and Licensing System
ISVs usually migrate to a new secure licensing technology in response to the more complex protection and/or licensing needs they have to confront with. Choosing a mature, interoperable, comprehensive, and widely adopted technology, developed independently by a fully dedicated vendor, makes even more sense when ISVs want more solid ground to stand on when they reach for higher sales goals. An array of use cases and associated migration approaches will help you realize whether you are ready to leapfrog into the future of license and entitlement management.
IP Protection for Siemens TIA Portal
When you invest in Siemens TIA Portal®, you also want to safeguard your applications for Siemens PLC and HMI with a higher gear. CodeMeter License Central is the gateway between CodeMeter Keyring Password Manager (the user, password, and entitlement management tool) and CodeMeter Keyring for TIA Portal Password Provider (the component that bridges CodeMeter with the TIA Portal). You can then assign clear roles to your team members, protect the IP of your projects, and control user access with a hardware-based solution: CmDongle.
The Dongle is Dead. Long Live the Dongle.
For more than 30 years, dongles have been an effective choice for software protection. What software developers like about them is the great protection they offer against hackers, coming at comparatively low costs for them. Users, on the other hand, enjoy their portability and the option of using their licenses on the go and offline. But CmDongles have also one feature that beats one key weakness of typical dongle solutions in many industries and use cases: they are multivendor-capable.

Monetizing Software, Machines, and Materials with New Business Models
Pay-per-use licensing schemes build a high level of trust with customers, allowing them to pay on the go for the machine lease, the consumables, the raw material, or the software package they specifically requested, at the time they really need it. By introducing this model gradually alongside existing systems, the lower initial revenues are more than compensated for as the relationship with your customers deepens.
The Effort Performance Relationship in Software Protection
For the optimal protection of your software, the code should be split into individual parts and dynamically reassembled at runtime. AxProtector .NET and AxProtector Java take care of this operation automatically for you.

Ensuring Trustworthy Industrial Systems
Failed or compromised industrial devices can impact the health and safety of workers, cause damage to costly equipment, release pollutants into the environment, and disrupt operations for extended periods of time. Trustworthy software can withstand human error, system faults, and cyberattacks. Let's define trustworthiness through the Industry IoT Consortium IIoT Trustworthiness Framework Foundations paper with the major editors and content contributors to the document.
Best Practices for Software Trustworthiness in IIoT Applications
Untrustworthy software can have a significant impact on developers, owner-operators, and decision makers involved with industrial IoT systems. Trustworthiness requires best practices to be employed during the various aspects of creating, acquiring, and protecting software over the course of the complete lifecycle of the system.
Ensuring IoT Trustworthiness for the Digital Transformation: Focus on Reliability
IoT Trustworthiness represents the degree of confidence that an IIoT system will operate in conformance with a set of requirements despite external disruption or interference. Reliability, one of the five main characteristics of IoT Trustworthiness, is the ability of systems or their components to perform the required functions under a given set of conditions for a given period of time. Without sufficient reliability, software failures will mean interrupted service, lost productivity, and potentially physical harm or lives lost.
IP Protection for Device and Machine Manufacturers
With the digital transformation underway, know-how piracy no longer affects traditional office software developers alone, but entire sectors of industry, from automation to the healthcare business or from critical public infrastructure to the financial world. It is paramount to assess the technical and digital resources that represent the IP of the company and safeguard them with appropriate and effective measures like encryption, authentication verification, and integrity protection in combination with secure elements aimed at safeguarding the “secrets”.
World IoT Day – Security of Connected Devices
