CodeMeter / CodeMeterAct
3.1 A License Server for all cases
The basic component of the CodeMeter / CodeMeterAct System is the CodeMeter License Server
(CodeMeter.exe) which runs on each computer where protected software is to be used. This component is
available for different platforms. The CodeMeter License Server provides the interface between your software,
and the license in a dongle (CmStick) or in an activation file.

Selectively, you can use the CmStick, activation, or both. However, in this context, the CmStic k offers you
superior security because all encryption and decryption is safely handled inside the CmStick. In addition,
CodeMeter gives you the option to totally delete a license on the CmStick, or to lock the CmStick, when
attempted fraud is detected.
