InstaCmCloud: Installation of the CodeMeter Runtime Kit and mirroring of the CmCloudContainer

Note: For the use of GGU licenses in a CmCloudContainer a functioning HTTP/HTTPS communication from the CodeMeter license server to the CmCloud server of WIBU-Systems must be guaranteed!

Clients in a network do not require an Internet connection.

To enable your GGU programs to access the licenses, the CodeMeter Runtime Kit must be installed on the CodeMeter license server to which the CmCloudContainer is mirrored and, in the case of network licenses, on each client computer on which the GGU programs are used.

You will find the installation routine ("CodeMeter User Runtime for Windows") on the website:

https://www.wibu.com/support/user/user-software.html

Note: Administrator’s rights for installation of the CodeMeter Runtime Kit are necessary with
operating systems such as Windows 8, 10 and 11.

After installation, the CodeMeter Runtime Server service starts automatically with the Cm icon in the right area of your taskbar. Open the CodeMeter Control Center by clicking on the Cm-icon

or via "Start/All Programs/CodeMeter/ CodeMeter Control Center". The following program window opens:

We have created a CmCloudContainer for you on the CmCloud server of WIBU-Systems, to which your customer number is assigned as name as well as an individual serial number. To enable you to work with the CmCloudContainer and to activate GGU licenses on it, a virtual mirroring is carried out on your CodeMeter license server.

To mirror your CmCloudContainer, you have received the CodeMeter "Credential" file (e.g., 140-312040957.wbc) from us by email. Drag and drop this file onto the window of the CodeMeter Control Center.

In the License tab the virtual mirror of your CmCloudContainer is now set up (= CmCloudContainer "mirror"). You will see the name and serial number displayed (see following figure). The licenses of your GGU programs will be entered on your CmCloudContainer in a later step.

Info: You can set up two more virtual mirrors on computers at further locations with the same credential file. When a GGU program is started, the GGU licenses later activated in the CmCloudContainer are occupied by API calls on the CmCloud server of WIBU-Systems until the respective program is closed.
