CodeMeter Embedded 2.40 Beginning with release 2.40, CodeMeter Embedded offers two alternative options for transferring licenses offline: You can either make use of an update file and assign licenses via CodeMeter License Central to the embedded devices already recorded during production, or place the licenses in a CmDongle and transfer them to the embedded device of your choice via a local connection to the laptop the USB device is plugged into. CodeMeter License Central 3.3x Last December’s release of CodeMeter License Central 3.31 supports the new TMR server (Triple Mode Redundancy), our concept for installing a high-availability server at your user‘s site that complies with the two-out-of-three principle. You need ver. 3.31 only if you use the TMR server. A ver. 3.30 update is planned for April. This is the release for general use without a TMR server.

All CmSticks with flash memory also come with disk encryption, a private partition, and key storage in the CC EAL5+ certified security controller, which also allows the secure dele- tion of flash disk contents.
