By combining CodeMeter from the outset with new B&R hardware, their users can benefit from the same degree of protection for their products that B&R has been enjoying. A Single Technology for Two Purposes More and more features of industrial machine and manufacturing systems are determined only by the software controlling them, from the pro- duction plans to the machine data itself. Such know-how is invaluable for mechanical engineers and deserves strong ring-fencing to prevent tam- pering, be it by ruthless competitors, criminal out- fits, or simply careless operators. With Technology Guarding, the clients of B&R receive a USB dongle alongside their equip- ment (CmStick/C) which offers licensing functio- nality for their software running on a B&R PLC. CodeMeter licensing methods are already integ- 4 rated into Automation Studio, the Integrated De- velopment Environment used to build software for B&R PLCs, to help B&R clients accelerate and facilitate the integration of licensing capabilities. They can use the same USB dongle to store licenses for B&R software packages created and delivered by B&R as well as licenses of the software genera- ted and rolled out by themselves. With this option, they can implement their own license models and count on a reliable revenue stream for their assets. Also, CodeMeter License Central is used to create and deliver licenses for B&R software packages. B&R clients can use their own CodeMeter License Cen- tral to deliver licenses to their users.
