License preparation
|
|

When you have received a license dongle, plug the dongle into the USB port of the workstation. It will be pre-configured instantly and ready for use.
The following steps in this paragraph can be skipt and please continue with the License request and activation.
|
|
CodeMeter uses so called containers; packages of licensed (vendor) products. The FASTSUITE container Cenit_AG.WibuCmLif has to be downloaded from the Cenit download portal if it has not been received by email.
|
|
|
|
|
With the container file downloaded, the license preparation can be started.
|
|
Pick the file from the download location and drag it into the CodeMeter Control Center. Then drop it in the empty container area.
|
|
|
|
The container will be imported. When successful, the result should look similar to the picture below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
License request and activation
|
|
With the container generated, the license installation can be started. Go to the FASTSUITE webdepot.

|
Press on the button, corresponding to the license type you require. The following steps then are the same for both types.
