CodeMeter License Central 2.10
Creating, delivering, and managing licenses has never been easier with the latest edition of CodeMeter License Central. Many
changes, new capabilities, and improvements under the hood automate many tasks to streamline the routine work of software
developers everywhere. Read more about the new features in Version 2.10:
Revised Activation Confirmations
Automating Missing License
Updates

When a license is activated or deactivated,
a receipt is created and sent to CodeMeter
License Central which makes sure that the
license was updated successfully. To do so,
CodeMeter License Central uses a dedicated
value in the license, the Firm Update Counter.
Every change to the license, including
its deactivation, is added to the counter.
CodeMeter License Central knows the past
count and can decide immediately which
updates were implemented successfully and
which might still be missing.
If the state of the CmContainer does not
match the known record in CodeMeter
License Central, the CmContainer is flagged
as “Manipulation detected” and requires a
manual decision by the owner.

It can happen that no receipts are created
for an update, especially when licenses are
updated offline. Before any new update, all
previous instances are recorded as far as the
received remote activation context file allows.
If there are any missing updates remaining,
these are included automatically with the next,
multi-step update. When the user begins the
update, the CodeMeter Runtime uses the Firm
Update Counter to determine the right place
to begin. This process means it is irrelevant
whether or not the user has completed the
previous updates – the license will be brought
up to the correct and current state in every
case. This automatic feature is included in
current CmDongles.
Automating Reactivations
old
replace
Should any license be lost, e.g. by the complete
loss of a computer with a CmActLicense, it
is up to you as software developer to allow
your users to reactivate their licenses, either
in every case, after a defined hold period, or
for a manual choice of cases (any combination
allowed).
You can decide whether the old CmContainer
should be automatically blacklisted after
the reactivation. The blacklist check can be
integrated in your software to lock down any
lost CmContainers automatically. The blacklist
can also be distributed offline with your next
update.
