Installing a local license
Wibu CodeMeter installation
After the Wibu CodeMeter Runtime software has been downloaded it can be installed. A plain default installation here is sufficient.
A guide to assist the installation can be downloaded from the Wibu website.
CodeMeter installation guide
After having successfully installed the software, the icon of the CodeMeter Control Center will appear at the lower right corner of your windows taskbar on your main screen.
The Control Center can be started from here or over the Windows Start menu. It opens with a panel similar to the picture below.
License preparation
When you have received a license dongle, plug the dongle into the USB port of the workstation. It will be pre-configured instantly and ready for use. The following steps in this paragraph can be skipped and you can continue with the License request and activation.
CodeMeter uses so called containers; packages of licensed vendor products. The FASTSUITE container Cenit_AG.WibuCmLif has to be downloaded from the Cenit download portal if it has not been received by email.
Cenit download portal
With the container file downloaded, the license preparation can be started.
Pick the file from the download location and drag it into the CodeMeter Control Center. Then drop it in the empty container area.
The container will be imported. When successful, the result should look similar to the picture below.
License request and activation
With the container generated, the license installation can be started. Go to the FASTSUITE webdepot.
Cenit webdepot
This will open the login page.
Enter the ticket number you have received by email and press the Next button to continue. A list appears of all licenses that are included in this ticket, like in the example below.
Press the Activate licenses button to continue.
On the next page the selection has to be made if the license has to be installed on the dongle, which can be used on any workstation, or if you want to receive a license file, that will be installed on a dedicated workstation.
Press on the button corresponding to the license type you require. The following steps then are the same for both types.
A) Online installation
With the online installation, the default method of the webdepot, the license will be installed and activated automatically. To enable the online installation it needs to be verified that the webdepot is listed as a Trusted WebSocket Origin in the CodeMeter WebAdmin.
In the CodeMeter Control Center press the WebAdmin button. It opens the administration in your default browser.
Go to the menu Configuration - Advanced - Trusted WebSocket Origins.
Check if the address https://wibulicensedepot.cenit.com is in the list of Trusted WebSocket
Origins. When the link to the webdepot is not listed here, you need to add it, otherwise the
online activation is not possible.
The webdepot returns with an overview of available licenses. Then simply follow the instructions on the page.
B) File based license transfer
With this method you will receive the license file by file transfer. It takes a few manual steps to request, receive and activate the license.
The page changes with the instructions how to proceed.
In the Upload Request, follow the instructions to either extend an existing license file or to generate the license request file for a new container, i.e. license file. When completed, then press the Start Activation Now button.
After the request has been uploaded successfully, the Download Update tab is opened. The license file can now be downloaded.
Import the license file in the corresponding container as explained in the instruction on this tab. Then press the Next button.
The final step is to confirm a successful license activation in the Upload Receipt tab. Simply follow the instructions to generate the receipt file and upload it here.
A confirmation appears.
License overview
The license overview has been updated after the available license has been activated.
The system now is ready to run FASTSUITE Edition 2.
To update a license or to renew it, the same procedure has to be followed.
