Cloud licence activation

This guide should be followed to activate your new cloud licence. 

Multi-User Cloud Licence

This is our recommended approach for medium-large organisations as it allows anybody to access the software, providing the licence isn't already in use. 

For this deployment, you will require a machine to act as the licence server. For greater resilience, you are also able to deploy your licences across two separate servers, without having to split your licence portfolio in half. This means if one of your servers was to go offline, you would still be able to access 100% of your licences without any impact.

All user machines will be need to be configured to locate the licence(s) from the server. The server can be one of the user machines if neccessary.

On the server

1. Install CodeMeter User Runtime for Windows. If the server is one of the user machines, install the software (CodeMeter is included automatically)
2. Save the licence file (extension .wbc) to a location on the server
3. Open CodeMeter Control Center (from the System Tray or the Windows Start Menu)
4. Drag and drop the licence file (extension .wbc) onto CodeMeter Control Center
5. Once the container is installed, it appears in the list on the left hand-side of CodeMeter Control Center window. Confirm the URL is http://wibu.cloud/74447 and the status is Connected
6. Within CodeMeter Control Center, click on the WebAdmin button
7. A webpage will appear. Hover over the Configuration tab, then select Server
8. Make sure that in the Network Server field, the Enable radio button is selected
9. Keep a note of the port being used for the communications of CodeMeter Service. You may need to open this port on your network

To increase the resilience of the service, it is also possible to improve network stability.

On the user machine(s)

This process must be carried out on each user machine. 

This method is for manual deployment; for automatic deployment, please see the automatic deployment section.

1. Install the software (CodeMeter will be installed automatically)
2. Open Codemeter Control Center from the System Tray or the Windows Start Menu, and click on the WebAdmin button.
3. A webpage will appear. Select the Configuration tab.
4. Click on Add New Server. If you do not have the relevant rights to do this, please ask for assistance from your IT for the following steps.
5. Enter the IP or alias (name) of the licence server.
6. Click Add, then Apply.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 as needed if multiple servers are used.

Single-User Cloud Licence

For smaller organisations, you can bypass the company server altogether and connect up to two separate user machines directly to our licensing cloud, removing any potential company server failures.

If you need to update these machines in the future, you can move the cloud licence independently as and when required. 

1. Install the software (CodeMeter will be installed automatically)
2. Save the cloud licence file (.wbc) to your computer
3. Open Codemeter Control Center from the System Tray or the Windows Start Menu
4. Drag the .wbc file from the saved location into the License box in CodeMeter Control Center
