Virtual Systems – Undermining Licensing? 13
Freedom and personal liberty are always on
our minds. Some liberties that we took for
granted have been restricted. Our protection,
licensing, and security solutions can give you
more freedom: the freedom to choose any
license container – CmActLicense, CmCloud,
or CmDongle; to choose any target system
from micrcontrollers and embedded systems
or PLCs to PCs and the cloud; to choose
any platform from x86, ARM, MIPS and PPC
with Windows, macOS, Linux, or real-time op-
erating systems; and to integrate all of this in
established business processes and ERP, CRM,
and e-commerce platforms.
The current news can make us anxious, and
we cannot force ourselves to stop worrying.
What we can do now, however, is to think
about the things that we can influence: Our
future. This goes for our private lives and for
our professional and commercial plans.
For us at Wibu-Systems, one of our most moti-
vating plans is our investment in our new head
office and the House of IT Security in Karlsruhe,
Germany, which will give a new home to es-
tablished enterprises, aspiring young start-ups,
and forward-thinking researchers. Security is
becoming more important than ever before,
especially in the digital world, whose great
potential and practical advantages we are all
experiencing now. VPNs and web conferences
allow us to work from the safety of our homes;
our developer teams to hold virtual meetings;
our sales professionals to continue to serve
their clients; and even our construction
work to proceed with a virtual jour-fixe with
developers, architects, planners, and builders.
I personally thank everyone whose hard work
helps us, and our company stay healthy and
active!
This freedom to choose the right business
model for you creates new win-win opportu-
nities: You can provide your clients with addition-
al temporary home office licenses or provide
devices with basic features at a lower price
without compromising your revenue streams
in the future. And, you can help potential
clients today with limited test licenses for your
products and build up a new and loyal user
base for the long term.
I hope this issue of KEYnote magazine will
show you many interesting ideas and oppor-
tunities and am looking forward to hearing
from you and continuing our conversation.
Stay healthy!
Best regards from
Oliver Winzenried
