Licensing-as-a-Service: Fast, Flexible, and Future-Proof
Licensing does not have to be complicated. With CodeMeter Licensing-as-a-Service( CmLaaS), software vendors can begin right away with preconfigured models, tailor them to their own needs, and expand flexibly – without compromising on security or individuality.
LICENSING
Do you remember your first apartment? Unless you moved into a fully furnished one, you probably still recall the days or weeks you spent putting together your own interior. Of course, this has the advantage of giving you a home tailored to your personal needs and preferences. On the other hand, it costs both time and money. A furnished apartment, by contrast, is ready to move into immediately and usually meets general standards.
Now imagine renting a furnished apartment where you could choose between a few standard layouts. Your home would still be ready to move into immediately, yet better suited to your needs. This is exactly what you get with CodeMeter Licensing-as-a-Service( CmLaaS).
But let’ s take the apartment comparison from the top. With CodeMeter License Central as the backend and CodeMeter License Portal as the frontend, Wibu-Systems offers a fully customizable software licensing solution. You create your license models individually in CodeMeter License Central, just like furnishing an empty apartment. In addition to the time involved, you also need the necessary expertise to ensure the license models meet your requirements. A professional license designer from Wibu-Systems’ Professional Services team can act as your interior designer. You have the option to either buy( host CodeMeter License Central on-premises) or rent it through Wibu Operating Services.
If, on the other hand, you want to start quickly and easily, CmLaaS is the right choice for you. The most common license models are already preconfigured, so you can get going immediately. Our offering is like a move-in-ready apartment, furnished with attractive and practical pieces.
Still, you are not locked into a mass product. With CmLaaS, you define license templates that fit your products and provide flexibility for your customers. Our Sales and Professional Services teams are available to support you with advice and hands-on assistance.
For each license template, you specify the product name to be licensed and the features that customers can purchase. For example, the template for your“ Music Software” product could include the additional feature“ Piano.” This way, both cases are covered: with or without piano. And should you no longer like a“ piece of furniture” or want to add a new license model, you can simply change it at any time.
Once the license templates are created, you receive an AxProtector configuration file to automatically protect your application, along with a user account for CodeMeter License Portal to assign licenses to your customers. To support you further, we provide tutorial videos that explain how this step should be carried out. With these resources, you can license your product independently within an hour. And if something does not go as expected, we are of course there to help you.
License Models Perpetual Single User License A license purchased once can be used indefinitely without the need for renewal. It is bound either to a device( CmAct- License), a dongle( CmDongle), or a user account in the cloud( Personal CmCloudContainer). It can be used on the device it is bound to, or wherever the dongle or user account is directly connected. No later synchronization with the CmLaaS server is required, meaning CmActLicenses or CmDongle licenses can run completely offline.
