Unified Solution
Scalable product Binding the CmActLicense
You can freely decide whether to ship user licenses in
dongles (CmDongle) or as computer-specific soft licenses
(CmActLicense). You only need to protect your software
once. You can then decide later about which license model
provides the best protection in each market. Intelligent coupling between the license and the user’s
computer prevents soft licenses from being illegally
copied. Wibu-Systems developed CodeMeter SmartBind ®
to provide this coupling. Its binding scheme dynamically
detects hardware features and weights them according to
their quality and availability. It functions with all operating
systems, all versions of operating systems and in virtual
environments. CodeMeter SmartBind is tolerant of changes
to the computer hardware. You can define the tolerance
level yourself which eliminates the cost of support.
All license models can be mapped into the CmDongles and
CmActLicense e.g. single user licenses, network licenses
and time-limited licenses, which use the internal clock.
Additional flash memory in
CmDongles
The CmDongle can be used in a diversity of areas such
as PCs, embedded devices, mobile applications, as well
as in the cloud, and is available in various form factors.
In most cases, secure software protection and licensing is
combined with industrial standard flash memory, which
allows your software, or in the case of an embedded device,
the whole operating system to be stored in the CmDongle.
This solution only uses one of your device’s interfaces.

With CodeMeter Binding Extension you can design your
own binding scheme. This could be your own piece of
hardware, a different dongle or a special module in the
embedded device. For demo versions or to protect your
software from reverse engineering only, you can use
CmActLicense without a binding scheme. Regardless of the
binding mechanism you use, AxProtector/IxProtector and
CodeMeter License Central guarantee secure protection.
