The eCommerce Connector authenticates with CodeMeter License Central. On the other side, the eCommerce
Connector has to ensure that the request originates with the correct online shop. This can be provided by IP
range check, or by individual login.
The eCommerce Connector has to be customized for each online shop.
ERP Connector
The ERP Connector provides for the integration into an ERP System, for example SAP.
ERP system customizing is rather marginal:
1) After order recording the ERP Connector is addressed, for example, realized as Dynamic Link Library (DLL)
directly accessed from within the ERP system. The ERP Connector sends the order data to CodeMeter License
Central and receives the ticket back. The ERP Connector passes the ticket on to the ERP system.
2) The ticket is to be saved in the ERP system, and to be printed on the order. Many ERP systems provide userdefined fields.
In case this ERP system extension is not feasible, you are able to work with a shadow database. That means, the
order data is exported from the ERP system to this shadow database, and the ERP Connector is alternatively
addressed from there.
8.4.3 Collecting by the Licensee
In case the licensee is to directly collect the licenses, an access to CodeMeter License Central is required.
Depending on the access designed – either directly via SOAP from within the application, or via a web page –
please set the web server, or web server and application server into the DMZ (inside the firewall).
In this case, for security reasons it is recommended that you distribute the installation on several computers, and
to locate the remaining modules (database and eventually the application server) behind an inner firewall.
The web pages the customer sees when he is collecting his licenses is totally customizable and can follow your
corporate design.
In CodeMeter License Central Enterprise Edition you are able to activate “user management”, e.g. the end user
is a large company, and several staff members need to collect the licenses. In this case the user’s “manager” is
able to review information on which licenses have been collected by which staff member. In this case, the user
“manager” identifies with his account but not with his ticket number.
8.5 Additional Modules
By using additional modules the CodeMeter License Central functionalities are extendable, and provide
interfaces to other systems.
8.5.1 One2One Marketing Modul (OZOMM)
The One2One Marketing Module can be used in cases of time-limited licenses. It is available as an additional
module for CodeMeter License Central Enterprise, and provides an interface to the user’s CRM system.

OZOMM extends the license via the Sales Interface
