Required steps after installation🔗

Activating License Server🔗

License Server On-Premises
To activate a dongle-bound License Server, MVTec will provide you with a USB dongle and an activation ticket for the License Server. CodeMeter Runtime must be installed on the machine, and an active internet connection is required for the activation process.
Open license.mvtec.com/webdepot/ in a browser, and enter the activation ticket provided to you. Follow the on-screen instructions to activate the license on the USB dongle.
Once activated, the dongle can be used on any computer by simply installing CodeMeter Runtime and attaching it to the machine.
License Server Cloud-Ready

When using the License Server Cloud-Ready, MVTec will provide a credential file. This credential file has the extension .wbc and must be imported using CodeMeter.
Once the credential file is imported, a new CmCloudContainer will be created with the required License Server license. No further activation steps are necessary.

To import the credential file with CodeMeter, you can drag and drop the file into the CodeMeter Control Center. CodeMeter will automatically import the CmCloudContainer.

Alternatively, you can import the credential file via the command line:

cmu --import --file <credential file>

cmu32.exe --import --file <credential file>

The credential file can only be imported and used on one machine or instance at a time. If you want to activate the credential file on a different system, first properly remove it from the currently activated system.
The CmCloudContainer can be removed either through the CodeMeter Control Center GUI or via command line. You will need the serial number of the CmCloudContainer, which begins with 140-.
To list all available container serials on your system, use the following command:

cmu -l

cmu32.exe -l

To remove the CmCloudContainer, use the following command:

cmu --delete-cmcloud-credentials --serial 140-xxxxxxxxx

cmu32.exe --delete-cmcloud-credentials --serial 140-xxxxxxxxx

Failure to properly remove the CmCloudContainer will cause it to be blocked for about four hours before it can be used on a different system.

Configuring firewall settings🔗

For connections with clients, port 22022 (TCP) for handling license requests must be allowed through your firewall on both the client and server side.

If activated, the License Server exposes an additional admin API on port 22023 (TCP) that may also need to be allowed in your firewall, depending on your setup. It is possible to configure the used ports in the configuration file.

For MVTec License Server Cloud-Ready, you need to additionally allow connections to http(s)://wibu.cloud and eu.wibu.cloud from the server to the internet. Port 443 (TLS) is preferred over port 80.
