Wibu-Systems' CodeMeter technology is already an established name in the IT world when it comes to IP protection and monetization. Over the past few years, digital transformation has gained enormous momentum, but with these opportunities come significant risks. Cyberattacks, data leaks, and security incidents increasingly threaten the integrity and operational capabilities of businesses and institutions. In response to these developments, the European Union has introduced the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) – a regulation that fundamentally redefines cybersecurity for products with digital elements. As a result, companies face higher demands and the need to fully implement and document these requirements. When it comes to product security, CodeMeter offers many functions to meet these requirements. Why does the Cyber Resilience Act concern you directly? The CRA aims to strengthen cybersecurity standards in Europe and will oblige companies to take robust measures to ensure the safety of digital products. Whether it's software, hardware, or cloud-based services – all companies that bring digital products to market or use them must prepare for extensive obligations. This masterclass is specifically aimed at decision-makers in business, IT, and corporate management who need to understand how the CRA affects their operations, which security measures are mandatory, and what consequences loom if these requirements are not met. The goal is to raise awareness and highlight the areas of action necessary for successful implementation.]]>

Machine builders or device manufacturers regularly face the challenge of wanting to license functionalities on small or very small devices. These classes of devices usually have limited computing power or memory, making the use of CodeMeter Runtime or CodeMeter Embedded not feasible. In such cases, our Professional Services team has developed concepts that were subsequently realized together with the customer as a project. Over the years, we have thus created a catalog of possible solutions that flow back into product development, and in this webinar, we will present a 'Best-Of' selection. The motivation for such requests is often that the customer is already licensing other products with CodeMeter, and therefore the infrastructure, such as CodeMeter License Central and integration with their own back-office systems, is already in place. This creates a synergy effect, as existing processes can also be used for licensing other device classes, resulting in a company-wide unified solution. On the devices themselves, it is usually the case that a custom license format is used, which may be secured with a signature or a checksum. Since these are often proprietary systems, in such projects, secure licensing is more important than protecting the application. One way to meet these requirements is through the Custom Licensing Adapter. This is an extension for CodeMeter License Central, where the standard processes are used for license creation. However, when activating these licenses, a special customer-specific implementation is used, through which the custom license format is applied. This allows all the licensing models available in CodeMeter to be used, and the licensing options there are then applied to generate the proprietary license format. Another way is to create a license in a CmDongle, which is then used on a customer system (personal computer) as a secure anchor for generating the license on the target device. This allows all cryptographic options of CodeMeter to be utilized, such as integrated signatures or special keys stored in a corresponding data field. For additional security, CodeMoving could even be used here, allowing particularly critical calculations to be protected and executed securely within the CmDongle.]]>

0 Hatching Ideas: Mastering Encryption and Obfuscation /slideshow/hatching-ideas-mastering-encryption-and-obfuscation/272689634 hatching-ideas-mastering-encryption-and-obfuscation-241024093949-ba350a93
Almost 10 years ago, Wibu-Systems faced the challenge of improving the self-protection of CodeMeter Runtime. Our own solution, AxProtector, set the standard. AxProtector encrypts the application after compilation. Depending on the selected settings, either the entire application is decrypted at runtime, or defined, critical code blocks are decrypted only when needed. However, an application protected by AxProtector always requires a license for execution, as the keys for decryption are stored within the license. On the one hand, CodeMeter Runtime provides the licenses, which would create a chicken-and-egg problem. On the other hand, while the approach of dynamic decryption is sufficient in many cases, we wanted to elevate the protection to a new level, even in cases where no license is required. Our intensive search for an external solution ultimately led to the conclusion that no ready-made solution existed. This marked the starting point for us to develop our own solution for the obfuscation of native (C/C++ and Rust) code. This solution intervenes during the compilation of the application: Compile Time Protection = CTP. With a plugin in the compiler, the code is modified so that later, at runtime, it becomes nearly impossible to analyze. After this solution was developed, improved, and successfully implemented in CodeMeter Runtime and AxProtector over several years, the time came when customers began asking for a similar solution. This was the birth of AxProtector CTP. Like a dragon, it hatched from the well-guarded egg and has since protected your software against potential hackers. AxProtector CTP not only offers obfuscation of the application but also includes all the functions provided by the classic AxProtector. The obfuscation of the entire application can be tied to the presence of a license by encrypting data and control flow. Individual functions can be protected with other licenses. The relocation of executable code to a CmDongle or a CmCloudContainer (namely CodeMoving) is supported, as well as operation without a license on the user’s end.]]>

0 Post Quantum Cryptography – The Impact on Identity /slideshow/post-quantum-cryptography-the-impact-on-identity/267261602 pqc-wibu-systems-240415084403-682234f3
As PQC continues to be a major topic for many companies and Government Institutions, we take a dive into the topics of quantum computers, post-quantum-cryptography, and the potential relevance for (ID) use cases. This seminar would like to present the principles of the technology and the latest developments in this field as well some indication as to the relevance, impact, and consequences on (Government) ID projects or use cases. The seminar may also look towards the relationship with these projects not only from a hardware standpoint but also from a software algorithmic stance as we migrate from current used crypto systems to quantum-proof systems. KEY TAKEAWAYS What is a Quantum Computer, what is Post Quantum Cryptography and when will we see a quantum computer? The migration from current crypto systems to quantum proof systems. How will PQC and QC affect (Government) ID projects and implementations. What will QC mean for the security proofing of ID and Information in the future. TARGET AUDIENCE Interested parties in the field of Identity and Security. Government bodies looking to the future for ID document management systems Enterprises looking to understand the potential impact of QC upon their business and industries. PRESENTATION: Cryptoagility and Quantum Resistance: Easier Said Than Done. Ever since the publication of Shor’s quantum algorithm for the factorization of large numbers, it has been known that quantum computers could at some point pose a threat to our communication and data security. Today we have cloud access to small, functioning quantum computers. The answer to this threat is quantum-resistant cryptography: cryptographic methods for classical computers that are robust against attacks by quantum computers. The standardization of such methods is currently ongoing. However, these methods are based on mathematical problems, that are much younger than the factorization problem already investigated by Euclid. On the other hand, currently used cryptographic methods such as RSA or ECDSA are broken as soon as a sufficiently large quantum computer exists. Cryptoagility is therefore recommended, software should be built or modified in such a way that cryptographic algorithms are easily substitutable. But how great is the danger posed by quantum computers? To what extent is cryptography affected, and when do we need to take action? Is cryptoagility really so easy to implement in practice or is this perhaps much easier said than done?]]>

How will PQC and QC affect (Government) ID projects and implementations. What will QC mean for the security proofing of ID and Information in the future. TARGET AUDIENCE Interested parties in the field of Identity and Security. Government bodies looking to the future for ID document management systems Enterprises looking to understand the potential impact of QC upon their business and industries. PRESENTATION: Cryptoagility and Quantum Resistance: Easier Said Than Done. Ever since the publication of Shor’s quantum algorithm for the factorization of large numbers, it has been known that quantum computers could at some point pose a threat to our communication and data security. Today we have cloud access to small, functioning quantum computers. The answer to this threat is quantum-resistant cryptography: cryptographic methods for classical computers that are robust against attacks by quantum computers. The standardization of such methods is currently ongoing. However, these methods are based on mathematical problems, that are much younger than the factorization problem already investigated by Euclid. On the other hand, currently used cryptographic methods such as RSA or ECDSA are broken as soon as a sufficiently large quantum computer exists. Cryptoagility is therefore recommended, software should be built or modified in such a way that cryptographic algorithms are easily substitutable. But how great is the danger posed by quantum computers? To what extent is cryptography affected, and when do we need to take action? Is cryptoagility really so easy to implement in practice or is this perhaps much easier said than done? <img style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" alt="" src="https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/pqc-wibu-systems-240415084403-682234f3-thumbnail.jpg?width=120&height=120&fit=bounds" /> As PQC continues to be a major topic for many companies and Government Institutions, we take a dive into the topics of quantum computers, post-quantum-cryptography, and the potential relevance for (ID) use cases. This seminar would like to present the principles of the technology and the latest developments in this field as well some indication as to the relevance, impact, and consequences on (Government) ID projects or use cases.

In the realm of IoT devices and PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), memory cards frequently serve as an essential component of the infrastructure. Recognizing this, we've chosen to expand upon this foundation by enhancing an already crucial element in practical scenarios with additional functionalities. This strategic extension aims to not only fulfill a fundamental requirement but also to elevate the utility and performance of these devices by integrating advanced features into the existing framework. Join us for a webinar that showcases the groundbreaking collaboration between Swissbit and Wibu-Systems, introducing CmReady – a revolutionary solution at the nexus of state-of-the-art technologies designed to meet these critical needs. What is CmReady? CmReady revolutionizes software protection and licensing by enabling the binding of a CmActLicense – a software license container – to a certified CmReady memory device in the form factor of an SD or microSD card, rather than tethering it exclusively to the target device running the protected software. This innovative approach grants unparalleled mobility to CmActLicenses, equating their portability with that of traditional dongles, yet with the added convenience and flexibility of removable memory devices. Why CmReady? Industrial memory cards, integral to manufacturers for specific project needs, already populate the field in diverse capacities and features. Recognizing the necessity to enhance these deployed units for increased sustainability, CmReady emerges as a groundbreaking solution. It not only upgrades existing memory cards with new functionalities but also transforms them into secure anchors for IP protection and software licensing. This innovative approach ensures that existing infrastructure can adapt to evolving security demands without the need for complete replacement, representing a leap forward in sustainable technological advancement. All the Benefits of CmReady in a Nutshell With CmReady, industrial customers gain access to a plethora of benefits: Portable licenses bound to CmReady memory cards Effortless activation and renewal processes Seamless compatibility with CodeMeter Runtime starting from release 8.00 and CodeMeter Embedded starting from release 3.00 Plug and Play functionality, eliminating implementation hassle Enhanced data protection and integrity features, safeguarding against piracy and unauthorized access]]>

A common piece of wisdom highlights the value of collaboration over solitary efforts. Working together, partners can pool their resources and expertise, achieving greater results than either could alone. This is particularly true when partners possess deep industry knowledge or local insights, like language and customs. Another key insight is the benefit of enabling partners to operate independently. This approach can lessen your workload, accelerate the delivery of solutions, and enhance partner satisfaction by granting them more control and autonomy. To achieve this, providing partners with the tools and knowledge for self-sufficiency is essential. While setting up processes with a partner may initially require more effort than handling tasks yourself, this investment in empowerment is sustainable and ultimately more rewarding. These principles are universally relevant, particularly in the realm of software sales. CodeMeter License Portal is designed to facilitate this process with your partners.

Over the history of Wibu-Systems, there have been certain recurring reasons that have brought customers to select the CodeMeter protection and licensing solution: usually, these are hacking of software, revenues lost, the long-term limitations of a homegrown solution, the wish to supply multiple licensing models, or the plan to integrate licensing into an existing back-office system. However, once primary licensing needs are met, there is still a number of features that remains underutilized or not explored at all, just as is the case with smart phones or basic office applications. Whatever features you rely upon most with CodeMeter today, it can make sense for you to get acquainted with the complete set of options at your disposal, optimize your processes even further, and make full use of the investment you have made. Additionally, the new generation of CodeMeter offers some special features that we are first to introduce to the worldwide market. This webinar is a great opportunity for our current CodeMeter customers as well as those who are early in their journey towards automated license lifecycle management; both can get a complete overview of the special features of our technology and the best practices we strongly encourage. And, all should be aware that several features of CodeMeter are supplied with free lifetime maintenance included.

Für Softwarehersteller oder Hersteller von intelligenten Systemen ist Lizenzierung ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Monetarisierungsstrategie von Software und Geräten. Nur mit Hilfe einer Lizenzierungslösung wie CodeMeter ist es möglich, das wertvolle geistige Eigentum zu schützen und gleichzeitig Raubkopien zu vermeiden, und dadurch ein Maximum an Lizenzen an die Kunden zu verkaufen. Auf der anderen Seite ist für die Anwender aber auch wichtig, dass die erworbenen Lizenzen kontinuierlich zur Verfügung stehen. Einen Produktionsausfall aufgrund nicht vorhandener Lizenzen gilt es unter allen Umständen zu vermeiden. Das gilt nicht nur für automatisierte Fertigungslinien beispielsweise in der Automobilindustrie, sondern auch bei Anwendungen innerhalb kritischer Infrastrukturen oder für Unternehmen, die global tätig sind und regional auftretende Ausfälle vermeiden müssen, aber auch keine Zeitfenster mehr für Wartungsarbeiten haben. Die kontinuierliche Bereitstellung von Lizenzen ist bei Ausfällen von Teilsystemen ein wichtiger Aspekt für bestimmte Kunden und Branchen.

For software developers and the makers of smart systems, licensing is a key element in their software’s or hardware’s monetization strategies. Licensing solutions like CodeMeter empower them to protect their invaluable intellectual property, prevent product piracy, and sell as many licenses as possible. At the same time, their customers want to know that the licenses will actually be available whenever they need them: Losing valuable working hours or having your machines running idle because of a missing license would be the worst-case scenario. This goes for modern, automated production lines as are common in the automotive industry and elsewhere, but it can be even more relevant for applications running critical infrastructures or for global enterprises that cannot afford to waste their limited maintenance opportunities or even shift operations from continent to continent simply because one regional license is missing. No Time to Idle: Making sure that licenses are reliably available to avoid systems or parts of systems falling idle might not be a matter for a 00 agent of His Majesty’s Secret Service, but it can be a matter of commercial life and death for many companies or sectors of industry. This is where CodeMeter’s Triple Mode Redundancy comes in: A high-availability licensing environment that uses a concept of two-out-of-three fail-proof TMR servers and robust data center technology. A cluster of five servers, including two load balancers and three license servers, works together to make sure that the licensing environment keeps doing its job as long as two of the three licensing servers are up and running.

Using the cloud for software licenses is all the rage at the moment, especially for enterprise software where admins take over most of the day-to-day management tasks on behalf of the users in their organization. The advantages are obvious: Providers and users can access their license information at any time, and often usage data as well. Licenses can be changed on the fly; they can be created, updated, or revoked as needed. For admins, it becomes easy to actively organize which users can use which licenses on which devices. Manufacturing facilities on the proverbial shop floor are, however, often not hooked up to the Internet, but instead run offline and fully autonomously. The reasons for this are obvious: Machines will not suddenly come to a standstill should the Internet connection break down. This could lead to massive costs down the line – just imagine a furnace falling cold in a steelworks. At the same time, keeping machines separate from the Internet protects against cyberattacks and sabotage. Attackers cannot tamper with devices they simply cannot reach. As part of Industry 4.0, more and more manufacturing data is sent over the Internet, e.g., for predictive maintenance. In most cases, the data is captured and passed onto the Internet via dedicated gateways. Still, there is no direct Internet connection on the shop floor for the reasons named above. What does that mean for licensing? A lot, for architectural purposes. The servers needed to create and manage licenses are usually on the Internet. The users, like the operators of manufacturing lines, need to activate the licenses directly on the computers and devices on the shop floor. As with the data collected for Industry 4.0 purposes, this works without a direct Internet connection. All that is needed is an intermediate medium, which can be a regular PC, to move the license from the online to the offline world. If need be, this can happen completely offline by physically sharing data. In this webinar, we will follow the process of activating licenses with an offline device and CodeMeter License Central in detail. Which data is needed at what point? How can that data be shared? Which steps are optional and can be skipped for the offline process? And how does CodeMeter License Central make all of this simpler?]]>

In principle, there are two different approaches to cloud licensing: On the one hand, licenses can be created, managed, and updated via the cloud. However, the licenses are actually located on the local device and can be used offline, at least for a certain period of time. On the other hand, the licenses can be used directly in the cloud. This case requires a permanent online connection to the server in the cloud. Especially if the number of licenses used simultaneously needs to be counted reliably, such a connection to the license server is inherent. In the webinar, we will look at best practice tips for this "license server" use case. For "always-on" licenses, CmCloudContainer is the best solution from the CodeMeter product family. The license server is operated by Wibu-Systems for you in the cloud. You create a CmCloudContainer, transfer the licenses in advance into this CmCloudContainer, and send your customer the access data (credential file). When creating the CmCloudContainer, you can choose between a Personal Container and an Enterprise Container. The Personal Container is typically used as a container for a user (person). They can have the container active on up to three workstations. Through the License Quantity, you define on how many workstations the user can use your software simultaneously. Three active workstations do not automatically mean three licenses for simultaneous use; by default, a match of one license on one workstation is set. The Enterprise Container is used when multiple users share a license, almost like a license pool. From an installation point of view, there is the possibility to set up a local proxy CodeMeter license server. All users access this server and do not need direct access to the cloud. This case is mainly used when devices on the shop floor are indirectly connected to the cloud via edge devices. Alternatively, all users or devices consuming licenses can communicate directly with the CodeMeter Server in the cloud. Mixed forms of direct and indirect access through several local license servers are also possible. The exciting question here is how to disavow a device or user from the list of units of people that were initially granted access rights. Here is where CodeMeter License Portal comes in handy and provide a turnkey solution. You and your customers create groups and users. Each user can access two CmCloudContainers, their own Personal CmCloudContainer, and the Enterprise CmCloudContainer of the group to which they belong. Depending on the use case, you can either leave the choice to your user or make it transparently in the background for them.]]>

“A fistful of licenses” is no problem: You simply create them manually with CodeMeter License Editor or the command line tool CmBoxPgm. But “for a few licenses more”, you should think about automating the license creation, distribution, and management process. Enter CodeMeter License Central! As in Ennio Morricone’s famous western, where the Man with no Name and Colonel Mortimer team up to beat the bad guys, the unique strengths of CodeMeter License Central and ERP systems work best when they work together. They are not opponents, but perfect companions. Depending on your use case, you need to decide which system should take the lead for licensing: the ERP system or CodeMeter License Central? You can also mix and match them both in a hybrid setup if you need to account for different workflows. One typical use case would be a combination of subscription licenses sold either directly by you or distributed via a reseller. In this situation, your resellers could create their licenses via a portal with CodeMeter License Central, and the ERP system is notified each month about the number of active licenses for an aggregated bill for the reseller. You could even sell more subscriptions directly by moving them from the ERP system to CodeMeter License Central. Alternatively, you can run reseller licenses first through the ERP system or direct-sale licenses first through CodeMeter License Central. To make the link between the ERP system and CodeMeter License Central, you have a choice of a simple or a sophisticated SOAP interface, a generic connector with a REST-like API, or some custom layer to slot in between the two sides. When using the generic connector and a custom layer, you can adjust the operating logic to suit your specific needs, letting you respond to any changes in your requirements with little interventions and expansions that do not force you to move everything into the ERP system. For SAP, you have two turnkey solutions ready and waiting: Our partner Informatics has created a framework for integration in SAP, typically used in the SD (Sales and Distribution) modules. Alternatively, CodeMeter License Central can be contacted directly from SAP’s EMS module. One important aspect is the backchannel between CodeMeter License Central and the ERP system. When the ERP system is in the lead, the backchannel can feed back information about the current state of licenses, e.g. whether and where they are activated. All of this information can be sent via the notification dispatcher (push) or requested by the ERP system when they are needed (pull). If licenses are created in CodeMeter License Central, the backchannel is still key for the ERP system to bill those licenses, again with push or pull options available.]]>

For SAP, you have two turnkey solutions ready and waiting: Our partner Informatics has created a framework for integration in SAP, typically used in the SD (Sales and Distribution) modules. Alternatively, CodeMeter License Central can be contacted directly from SAP’s EMS module. One important aspect is the backchannel between CodeMeter License Central and the ERP system. When the ERP system is in the lead, the backchannel can feed back information about the current state of licenses, e.g. whether and where they are activated. All of this information can be sent via the notification dispatcher (push) or requested by the ERP system when they are needed (pull). If licenses are created in CodeMeter License Central, the backchannel is still key for the ERP system to bill those licenses, again with push or pull options available. <img style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" alt="" src="https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/forafewlicensesmore-230601115018-2b63c2fe-thumbnail.jpg?width=120&height=120&fit=bounds" /> “A fistful of licenses” is no problem: You simply create them manually with CodeMeter License Editor or the command line tool CmBoxPgm. But “for a few licenses more”, you should think about automating the license creation, distribution, and management process. Enter CodeMeter License Central! As in Ennio Morricone’s famous western, where the Man with no Name and Colonel Mortimer team up to beat the bad guys, the unique strengths of CodeMeter License Central and ERP systems work best when they work together. They are not opponents, but perfect companions. Depending on your use case, you need to decide which system should take the lead for licensing: the ERP system or CodeMeter License Central? You can also mix and match them both in a hybrid setup if you need to account for different workflows. One typical use case would be a combination of subscription licenses sold either directly by you or distributed via a reseller. In this situation, your resellers could create their licenses via a portal with CodeMeter License Central, and the ERP system is notified each month about the number of active licenses for an aggregated bill for the reseller. You could even sell more subscriptions directly by moving them from the ERP system to CodeMeter License Central. Alternatively, you can run reseller licenses first through the ERP system or direct-sale licenses first through CodeMeter License Central.

The Industrial Internet of Things has well and truly arrived, with manufacturers around the world having access to a vast assortment of smart machines with clever app features for tailoring their functionality perfectly to their needs. But where to start? To really kick off the connected, app-driven, and smarter industry of tomorrow, end users need an app marketplace that they trust and know how to use, with apps that they know will work on their equipment, and everything with confidence in legal, commercial, technical and – not least – security terms. The Open Industry 4.0 Alliance, Hilscher, and Wibu-Systems have come together to showcase how this can be done with the OI4 Community App Store, Docker containers for interoperability, and CodeMeter for safe operations and secure intellectual property. Today, the world of industrial applications is very diverse and forms a complex ecosystem that entails a multitude of technical requirements. Due to the current complexity of the brownfield environment, a broad acceptance of existing applications and their ease of use are bogged down, if not made even impossible. The overarching goal is to place the user experience first and foremost so that end users can move to the ecosystem of their choosing, without being permanently tied to a particular infrastructure. Wider choice, more flexibility in deployment, and rapid response to changes are the direct results of these greater freedoms. As we all know, digitization is now in full swing. Triple-digit billions are being invested in this sector, with everyone, regardless of their role in the value chain, expecting increased productivity and shorter delivery and setup times. The end game: improved inventory management, shorter market entry cycles, reduced batch sizes, and sustainability in the form of energy efficiency and optimization of the resources utilized. The Open Industry 4.0 Alliance (OI4) gathers manufacturers and providers of Industry 4.0 solutions and services worldwide aimed at successfully transitioning customers to the Industrial Internet of Things. The group has developed a joint approach with all its members to reach tangible results on the path towards a complete digitization of the manufacturing industry. Three main stakeholders come into play: 1. The application providers, who bundle their expertise in professional apps and make them available to a broad market; 2. The store operators, who provide the end users with a large number of applications and map legal, commercial, and technical aspects in their systems; 3. The end users, who don’t want to deal with the complexity of different store systems and expect trustworthy platforms. Hilscher, a name that has stood for trendsetting automation solutions for over 35 years, and Wibu-Systems, a global leader in software monetization via protection, licensing, and security, are members of OI4 and ready to demonstrate this constructive attitude during this live masterclass.]]>

.NET has seen a surge in its popularity as a development platform since 2018, powered not least by the multiplatform capabilities introduced with .NET Standard. According to the Tiobe Index, C# currently ranks in fifth spot as a choice for developers in .NET, outranked only by Python, C/C++, and Java. Python is particularly in demand for internal projects or automation use cases, as Java is for servers, and .NET for end user devices. For traditional standalone and client applications, it is safe to say that .NET is a sure second choice alongside C/C++. Security matters, and it matters especially when applications are run out in the field, on an end user’s device. This is true for the end users themselves, as they don’t want their machines affected by malware or other harmful code, which is usually avoided by solutions like signed code. But it is also true for software developers who want to protect their work from piracy or IP theft. .NET differs from C/C++ in that the source code does not go through a compiler to run as machine code on a specific platform. Instead, it is turned into intermediate code that can still run on multiple platforms. The downside to this is that the intermediate code remains accessible for snooping and tampering by would-be attackers. License checks can be removed or replaced by forged ones, and business secrets contained in the code may simply be stolen. Our answer: AxProtector .NET from our CodeMeter Protection Suite. AxProtector .NET works perfectly with code signatures, meaning developers do not have to make that decision between security for the end user or protection for their own IP. They can, and should, have both. AxProtector .NET makes clever use of the easy legibility of the intermediate code: it extracts all the classes and methods contained in a .NET assembly and encrypts them piece by piece. The encrypted code is then placed back instead of the original code. During runtime, the methods are decrypted on the fly when they are called for. The actual intermediate code remains in the device’s working memory only for a brief moment to run through the Just In Time Compiler (JIT) and create the machine code, and then it is erased from memory. A native C/C++ component, CPSRT, takes over part of the decrypting and runs cyclical security checks in the background. By comparison to a straight-up .NET solution, adding this native component increases the security of the system again. CPSRT is available for most common platforms and processes, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Intel x86 and x86-64 as well as ARM and AARCH64. It does not normally mean any limitation to the application’s ability to run on multiple platforms.]]>

Rolling out or updating licenses should be as simple and straightforward as possible. CodeMeter already comes with lots of workflows for the purpose on its License Portal. Many jobs can be automated through that portal, and the work for the user reduced to a few simple clicks. However, all of this needs a user who would manually start the activation or updating process. For larger organizations that depend on up-to-date transparency about the licenses that are active in the field, the License Portal is also the optimum solution. But how could you streamline the process on the user’s side even more? This is where a bit of magic comes into play in the form of the Software Activation Wizard. CodeMeter has many different use cases covered with a choice of source code examples for different developer languages to help you put in place your own Software Activation Wizard to match your processes, workflows, and requirements. All you need is CodeMeter License Central and the right gateways in the cloud. There are many use cases that could include automatic license updates, such as: Adding or removing features Revoking entire licenses Automatically renewing subscriptions after payment has been received Updating service technicians’ licenses Automatically renewing maintenance contracts Locating or locking lost licenses An automatic update removes the need for the user to do anything. Nobody has to be reminded to activate an update over the License Portal. Not only is this easier and more comfortable for the user, it also gives you, as the vendor, full control over the process. The Software Activation Wizard can become a perfect fit for your business by being integrated in your software and tailored to your processes and your corporate design. Automation saves costs, and it gives you a great means to collect data and retrieve it via CodeMeter License Central. One popular option is to register users during license activation, which is particularly appealing when your licenses are sold through diverse channels, but you still want to know who your users are in the wild. This even works with free software: it can be activated and registered in the same manner, with the license created in the background during activation, and you will know who is using your software.]]>

But how could you streamline the process on the user’s side even more? This is where a bit of magic comes into play in the form of the Software Activation Wizard. CodeMeter has many different use cases covered with a choice of source code examples for different developer languages to help you put in place your own Software Activation Wizard to match your processes, workflows, and requirements. All you need is CodeMeter License Central and the right gateways in the cloud. There are many use cases that could include automatic license updates, such as: Adding or removing features Revoking entire licenses Automatically renewing subscriptions after payment has been received Updating service technicians’ licenses Automatically renewing maintenance contracts Locating or locking lost licenses An automatic update removes the need for the user to do anything. Nobody has to be reminded to activate an update over the License Portal. Not only is this easier and more comfortable for the user, it also gives you, as the vendor, full control over the process. The Software Activation Wizard can become a perfect fit for your business by being integrated in your software and tailored to your processes and your corporate design. Automation saves costs, and it gives you a great means to collect data and retrieve it via CodeMeter License Central. One popular option is to register users during license activation, which is particularly appealing when your licenses are sold through diverse channels, but you still want to know who your users are in the wild. This even works with free software: it can be activated and registered in the same manner, with the license created in the background during activation, and you will know who is using your software.

“You don’t get a second shot at a good first impression.” We have all heard this deceptively simple saying. It applies to your and our relationships with potential new customers, but it also applies to your first impression of working with our software protection and licensing technology CodeMeter. Workflows that used to be state of the art only a few years ago are no longer accepted without question today. Just think of the old habit of distributing trial versions of software on CD-ROMs or DVDs at expos. Nobody does so anymore, because very few people have the necessary drives left on their new computers. As a software developer or vendor, you will recognize many of the challenges we at Wibu-Systems face when it comes to providing test versions of our product to potential clients. That is why we have prepared a webinar to share our ideas and experiences with designing the new evaluation process with you. In this masterclass, you will discover the workflows we use with our clients, with a look behind the scenes to show you how and why we do it this way. You can do everything we have done in this process yourself with CodeMeter for your own processes. In the past, Wibu-Systems delivered its test versions through the mail, i.e. a physical SDK toolkit including two dongles and a DVD. The disadvantage is obvious: Potential clients had to wait for the package to arrive before they could test our technology, and they had to have a DVD drive to use the included disc. In short: We needed a new approach. Our goal was to enable our clients’ testing team to start their tests immediately, while keeping the cryptographic keys needed for the process as secure as they were on the hardware-based CmDongle. The combination of CmCloudContainers and CmDongles means that all possible requirements are covered. The cryptographic keys are always kept safe; users with online access can start to test the software immediately, and users forced to go the offline route can still carry their licenses and keys around on the CmDongle. Should the situation change later on, everything can be switched around as needed. The CodeMeter Developer Portal is modelled on the CodeMeter License Portal. If you want, you can copy our choice of offering a combination of dongles for offline scenarios and cloud containers for a faster response. You can also get access to the CodeMeter Evaluation Portal, a trial version of the License Portal that lets you review the processes from your specific vantage point and see in action how you would produce trial versions of your software or even enable your sales partners and resellers to do so.]]>

0 Protection and monetization of 3D printed objects in the spare parts business of Daimler Buses /slideshow/protection-and-monetization-of-3d-printed-objects-in-the-spare-parts-business-of-daimler-buses/254745805 protectionandmonetizationof3dspareparts-221205105101-180a2405
Bus operators depend on their vehicles, and any spare parts they need have to be available as quickly as possible. Up to now, this meant massive local stocks or complex on-demand logistics, but now digitalization is hailing in a new age. The owners and operators of Mercedes Benz and Setra busses can now produce the parts themselves with 3D printing. All they need for these mini-factories are a certified 3D printer and the licenses for the parts they want to print. Wibu-Systems’ CodeMeter provides the technological basis for a secure digital process chain with full control over how many parts can be and are printed on the ground. Additive manufacturing was long considered a technology for nerds or select specialists. There were too many technical challenges still to be overcome, and the cost of 3D printed parts was far too high compared to conventional manufacturing. But times have changed, and many of these problems have been solved. New service concepts are being introduced and are already creating new global, digital markets. Our webinar introduces the solution thought up by Daimler Buses in partnership with the 3D printer specialists Farsoon Technology and the CodeMeter security technology of Wibu-Systems. The system solves two essential problems: The protection of the digital object data and the monetization of the entire process with a reliable license management system. The challenge is to be able to produce parts wherever and whenever they are needed. This promises a new field for service providers to get active in, offering 3D printing services for their clients. However, when the parts are processed and printed by a third party, there need to be systems in place to protect the intellectual property involved and to make the entire value chain correctly traceable and, crucially, billable. This is where Daimler Buses has found a solution with the potential to revolutionize the current conventional parts business. The system creates exciting new prospects for the service business and for the availability of spare parts, both economically and ecologically speaking. Many parts and components are now available in digital format on the OMNIplus 3D printing license shop. Bus operators and service partners around the world can purchase these and produce them at their leisure and at the point of need. The parts are provided as encrypted downloads. As in any online store, the buyer adds the right items to their cart. At the checkout, the buyer then receives a preprinting license to prepare the print job with the Buildstar® software made by Farsoon Technologies and the actual printing license for the right number of parts. The licenses can then be used with the Makestar® software on Farsoon-certified 3D printers. Both protected and unprotected parts can be combined in one job to reduce the printing costs. Order processing is handled by the combination of CodeMeter License Central and the SAP system already in place at Daimler Buses.]]>

“Who’s who” is an important question, not just for the publishers of biographical encyclopedias. Identities and reliable ways to identify people, devices, and real or virtual objects have become more important than ever before as much of our lives, including the industrial world, has gone digital. The new opportunities coming from this also contain new challenges: From biometric passports making travel safer and more secure to eID technologies facilitating virtual transactions and digital certificates establishing themselves as the technology of choice to authenticate devices and actors in the industrial IoT, the tech world is exploring how identity can be represented both online and offline. Digital certificates are a great tool to uniquely identify people or devices with the tried-and-tested reliability and security of a pair of cryptographic keys acting as the currency of trust: One key is public and confirmed by a neutral authority, the Certificate Authority, to belong to the person, device, or digital object, and the other is private and secure. With a certificate signed with that private key and the private key stored safely away from prying eyes, there should be no way to tamper with or steal the identity it confirms. CodeMeter Certificate Vault is our answer: The keys are kept safe and the necessary cryptographic operations handled in the smart card chips embedded in our secure hardware elements, our CmDongles. But CodeMeter Certificate Vault is more than that: It acts as a PKCS#11-compliant token provider, acts as a go-between when keys need to be accessed, e.g. through the OpenSSL API, it works perfectly in the important M2M communication standard OPC UA, and it simplifies the often laborious process of distributing and managing certificates by bringing the whole comfort and great performance of CodeMeter License Central to the certificate world. Key pairs are created, bound to their intended container, and packaged in a secure file that can simply be shipped over to their destination. With CodeMeter’s award-winning encryption, the entire process is safe from theft and tampering. In his talk, Guenther Fischer will look at three use cases that show the power of CodeMeter Certificate Vault in action.]]>

"Pricing policy is an executive matter" – this should underline how important it is who defines prices and how they are defined. If the price is too steep, you scare off potential customers and lose revenue. If the price is too low, you may win more customers, but the revenue will plateau at some point, because the increased numbers will not make up for the financial shortfall. Low prices naturally affect profits, and sometimes dramatically so. For software developers, retail prices are directly related to different licensing options. The most common choices are still the traditional "One-off purchases" or "One-off purchases with maintenance contracts". But there are more and more software vendors offering more modern models like subscriptions or consumption-based licenses. This webinar will cover both the commercial and the technical sides of these licensing models, specifically consumption-based models. For pricing decisions, two factors matter most: "What does it cost me to produce the software?" and "What is the software worth to our customers?". In many cases in the market, the second question ought to take precedence both when calculating prices and when trying to sell the actual software: "This printer can print 1000 pages" might be a great statement for gadget lovers. But when trying to sell the printer’s real added value, it should be "This printer is 20% faster and can save you a lot of expensive labor." Modern licensing models can benefit from using cloud solutions, as the cloud makes it easy to capture and collect usage data immediately and renew subscriptions on the fly. But has the whole world really gone online already? Our experts at Wibu-Systems know: That is not true. In industrial shopfloor scenarios in particular, there is so much legitimate concern about cyberattacks, sabotage, or data theft that many devices are not always available online. Often, outbound connections through dedicated gateways are the limit of what can be accepted. And availability is also another legitimate worry for many users of cloud services. It only takes a misguided shovel, and the fastest fiberoptic interconnection is cut and production comes to a standstill. What good is a 20% faster connection with a network printer, if the printer has been physically cut from the network? All the time and effort saved with modern connectivity is quickly lost again to such incidents. The technical part of the webinar will cover the concrete ways to implement consumption-based licenses with CodeMeter. ]]>
