Hardware Dongle
These are recommended for on-premise license servers, as they can be attached to a backup server without further restrictions.
Software/WIBU Container
When software/WIBU dongle containers are used, a full daily backup including system state is recommended to allow for a smooth restore that includes the current license status. For more information on upgrading to WIBU, see this page.
Warning: Two critical and several major vulnerabilities have been identified in all versions of Wibu CodeMeter bundled with Vizrt products. We strongly recommend you to update CodeMeter to version 7.10a. See the Security Advisory section for more information.
License Server
Please note that although technically physical license servers work with software containers, it is strongly recommended to use physical dongles.
Note: Cloud based license servers are currently not supported. Software containers on virtualized licence servers are also not supported.
Info: The software container protection is based on hardware elements in the validation process. If the hardware changes, the WIBU container validation may fail. If so, the licenses cease to be available.
