Securing your software means you can safely scale distribution.

Piracy Protection

The age-old adage – encryption stops piracy and reverse engineering dead in its tracks.

License Models

Create a wide range of licensing models to suit your customers or business model.

Intelligent Safeguards

Inherent software intelligence thwarts a number of unwanted intrusions or access to your software products.

Workflow Integration

Automatically encrypt your applications, code and libraries as you integrate the service.

Integrate Into Your Workflow

License Central ties to your ERP, CRM, and e-commerce systems so that users receive the same software, but different licenses that entitle them to use your protected software.

Once integrated, you can:

  • Recursively deliver your software
  • Create licenses automatically
  • Transfer licenses to your customers

CmDongle

The license is stored securely in a CmDongle. The device embeds a smart card chip, which offers additional security to CodeMeter’s technology. Once saved, the secret keys never leave the unit. CmDongles are available in several form factors, such as USB, SD card, microSD card, CF card, CFast Card, and ASIC.

CmCloudLicense

The license is saved in a special file that is bound to the hardware of the target computer. You define the degree of tolerance to changes in the computer. When using virtual machines, you can specify whether the license remains valid if it is moved or copied to a virtual machine. Alternatively, you can employ unbound CmActLicenses via the CodeMeter Protection Only or the CodeMeter Trial License options.

License-Server

The license is stored in a CmDongle or a CmActLicense on a license server in the LAN of the user. The user can also reserve licenses for network users, Active Directory groups, or specific computers and create usage reports.

CodeMeter Embedded

CodeMeter Embedded (and µEmbedded) is a static library that provides the licensing and cryptographic capabilities of CodeMeter via a dedicated API for embedded operating systems like Linux Embedded, VxWorks, QNX, and Android. CodeMeter Embedded comes with a subset of the CodeMeter Runtime API that includes the core functionalities for licensing and protection. These cover the functions for accessing licenses, retrieving license options, creating license requests, importing license update, and performing symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic operations.

Possible use cases include direct access to CodeMeter functionality from an application of yours, from AxEngine, or from ExEngine (both modules of CodeMeter Protection Suite)

CodeMeter Embedded supports the following types of CodeMeter containers: CmDongles and CmActLicenses.
