GGU-UNDERPIN: Licence protection

To protect the GGU software from unauthorised access, each GGU program is equipped with the CodeMeter software protection system from WIBU-Systems. Each GGU program is bound to a so-called CmContainer via a licence with the corresponding product code.

To be able to use the GGU licences in a CmContainer, a runtime environment, the CodeMeter Runtime Kit, must be installed on your computer via driver software. You can obtain the current version from Software for Users - Wibu-Systems (CodeMeter User Runtime for Windows).

You can work with the following CmContainer types on your PC with the CodeMeter Runtime Kit installed (= CodeMeter licence server):

• CmStick
  The licence for your GGU program is stored in a USB dongle.

• CmActLicense (soft licence, not for virtual PC/servers)
  The licence for your GGU program is stored in a licence file that is linked to the hardware of a computer.

• CmCloudContainer
  The licence is located on a CmCloud server of WIBU-Systems and is mirrored to your CodeMeter licence server. The advantages of this type of licence binding are described on the following website: Licence binding | GGU Software.

The GGU programs check at start-up and during runtime whether a corresponding license is available in a CmContainer.
