Introduction Many software vendors have already discovered Wibu-Systems ’ suite of software products that can help protect intellectual property and control and manage software entitlements . Licenses and other sensitive information can be securely stored on highly sophisticated hardware , specially encrypted files , or remotely in a managed cloud environment .
Key to all these features is CodeMeter , which acts as the interface between the software to be protected and the information entitlement that is crucial to the software vendor business , securely held in CmContainers .

But there are instances where it is not possible or desirable to use CodeMeter . Some externally managed platforms ( SaaS , mobile ) might restrict the installation of sophisticated security software : after all , CodeMeter itself is an incredibly complex security solution that uses state of the art encryption and security features . There are also occasions where asset protection , a cornerstone of the CodeMeter skillset , is simply not required . CodeMeter Cloud Lite was written with these uses in mind .
CodeMeter Cloud Lite offers user-based licensing in the cloud . Licenses are created and delivered through CodeMeter License Central , but instead of activating or transferring the license in a CmContainer , it is allocated to a user in CodeMeter Cloud Lite .
CodeMeter Cloud Lite allows multiple heterogeneous devices to be used ( for example , you could access your license on your computer in the morning and then on your mobile device in the afternoon ) and offers a simple route to license management through the provision of a number of easy-to-use REST APIs .
REST Reporting API Version 3.10 of CodeMeter Cloud Lite introduces a new suite of APIs to supply information on license usage reporting . It provides an interface through which information about the use of licenses can be queried . In addition to the purely technical view , it is also possible to enrich the data with product and license information from CodeMeter License Central . It utilizes a powerful filter mechanism to provide the key information to be queried and can provide two reporting views . Information flows are via JSON .
Reporting Query Filter The query filter structure contains all the information about the report to be created . For example , to retrieve all entries within a specific time range , the following filter can be used :
„ filter “: { „ from “: „ 2023-08-01T00:00:00 “, „ to “: „ 2023-08-31T23:59:59 “
}
There is a lot of flexibility contained in the filter . It is possible to also specify various license attributes such as firm code , product code , or
