Installation einer lokalen Lizenz

Installation von Wibu CodeMeter

After the Wibu CodeMeter Runtime software has been downloaded, it can be installed. A default installation is sufficient.

A guide to assist with the installation can be downloaded from the Wibu website.

CodeMeter Installationsanleitung

After the software has been successfully installed, the CodeMeter Control Center icon appears in the Windows taskbar.

The CodeMeter Control Center can be opened from this icon or from the Windows Start menu. It opens with a panel similar to the one shown below.

Lizenzvorbereitung

If you have received a license dongle, plug the dongle into a USB port of the workstation. It is pre-configured and ready for use. The following license preparation steps can be skipped. Continue with License request and activation.

CodeMeter uses so-called containers, which contain the licensed vendor products. The FASTSUITE container Cenit_AG.WibuCmLif must be downloaded from the CENIT download portal if it has not been received by email.

CENIT download portal

After downloading the container file, the license preparation can be started.

Select the file from the download location, drag it into the CodeMeter Control Center, and drop it in the container area.

The container is imported. After a successful import, the result should look similar to the example below.

Lizenzanforderung und Aktivierung

After the license container has been prepared, the license can be activated through the FASTSUITE WebDepot.

CENIT WebDepot

The WebDepot login page opens.

Enter the ticket number received by email and click Next.

A list of all licenses included in the ticket is displayed.

Click Activate licenses to continue.

On the next page, select the target for the license. The license can be installed on a dongle, which can be used on different workstations, or in a local license container on a dedicated workstation.

Select the required license target.

The license can then be activated using one of the following methods:

Online installation — the default and recommended workflow.
File based license transfer — an optional workflow for manually exchanging the required license files.

A) Online-Installation

Online installation is the default activation method provided by the WebDepot. The license is transferred and activated automatically without manually exchanging license request and update files.

To use online installation, verify that the CENIT WebDepot is configured as a Trusted WebSocket Origin in CodeMeter WebAdmin.

In the CodeMeter Control Center, click WebAdmin. The administration interface opens in your default browser.

Go to Configuration > Advanced > Trusted WebSocket Origins.

Verify that https://wibulicensedepot.cenit.com is included in the list of Trusted WebSocket Origins. If the WebDepot address is not listed, add it before continuing. Otherwise, online activation is not possible.

Return to the WebDepot. An overview of the available licenses is displayed.

Follow the instructions on the page to install and activate the license.

B) Optional: File based license transfer

File based license transfer is an optional alternative to online installation. Use this workflow when the license activation needs to be performed manually by exchanging license files between CodeMeter and the CENIT WebDepot.

The file based license transfer consists of three actions:

Create and upload a license request. — Generate the request file in CmFAS Assistant and upload it to the WebDepot.
Download and import the license update. — Download the update from the WebDepot and import it into the CodeMeter container.
Create and upload a receipt. — Create a receipt confirming the import and upload it to the WebDepot.
