CodeMeter 8.40a User Help

specifies the time interval the ActionHandler is to scan for an open task to perform.

The default setting is IPv6, IPv4. IPv6 is first tried, then IPv4 in the event of an error.
Specifies the communication options that can be used by the library for communication between the WibuCm.dll library and the local CodeMeter License Server.

Modes may be combined.

Platform specific default:

The default setting is IPv6, IPv4. IPv6 is first tried, then IPv4 in the event of an error.
Specifies the communication options provided by CodeMeter License Server for the communication between the WibuCm.dll library and the local CodeMeter License Server.

Modes may be combined.

Platform specific default:

specifies the IP Address of the network adapter used by CodeMeter License Server.

Typical examples are 0.0.0.0 which binds to all network adapter (default) or 192.168.0.1.

specifies the IP Address (server identification) for a prepared borrowing.

contains a timeout value (in minutes) used by CodeMeter License Server to clean up internal handles and threads. The default value is 120 minutes.

Starting with CodeMeter Version 6.70a this value only affects LAN handles.

enables users to define the owner authentication data (OwnerCredentials) for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2.

Users can enter the OwnerCredentials unencrypted as text or byte string or determine and enter the SHA-1 digest of the OwnerCredentials:

•plain OwnerCredentials=text:

The value is a plain text ASCII passphrase consisting of one or more printable characters.

Example:

[CmAct\TPM\1.2] OwnerCredentials=text:Now is the time

•or plain bytes OwnerCredentials=bytes:

The value is a non-empty byte string in hexadecimal. In this way, any randomly selected credential value can be specified.

Example:

[CmAct\TPM\1.2] OwnerCredentials=bytes:caffeedeadbEEf

•or SHA-1 hashed plain OwnerCredentials=sha-1:

SHA-1 digest (160 bits) of a passphrase. It is specified as 40 hexadecimal digits.

Example:

[CmAct\TPM\1.2] OwnerCredentials=sha-1:99db8ba5a746ddca3230b89a1268b4b50fa89581

At startup, CodeMeter encrypts the OwnerCredentials entry value entered by the user in one of these three forms. This means that the complete entry value starting with text:, bytes: or sha-1: is replaced by an encrypted content. If CodeMeter later needs to access TPM 1.2 to bind a license to TPM or load a license bound to TPM, then the OwnerCredentials from the encrypted entry will be used.

An encrypted entry may look as follows:

    [CmAct\TPM\1.2]

    OwnerCredentials=98e916f9ea34be41d7c90911f0c38343:6e3dd381e97a92d56baf914ba6b976a25b1c0dc
    b68dcb43bdf92953aee9ec847:f06572da00fa744bff7e13969b77df6b

contains in the case of applied write filters the location (path information) to which the data of CmActLicense is to be saved persistently. If filters are used your software vendor is likely to inform you.

Please do not mix up this with the location of the default CmActLicense read and backup mechanism,
e.g. C:\ProgramData\CodeMeter\CmAct.

On starting, CodeMeter License Server calculates a unique ID used to discern client computers for station share accesses.

specifies the port address for the CmWAN communication used by the server side only. The default value is the port address 22351.

specifies whether the CmWebSocket API is used or not.

If the value 0 (disabled) is set, the online activation in the WebDepot of CodeMeter License Central cannot be used. The Software Activation Wizard using the CodeMeter License Central Gateways and the file-based activation in WebDepot still work.

If the value 0 (deactivated) is set, the online activation in WebDepot of CodeMeter License Central cannot be used. However, the Software Activation Wizard, which uses the CodeMeter License Central Gateways, and the file-based activation in WebDepot still work.

specifies since CodeMeter Version 7.10a whether the CmWebSocket API is additionally used without check of the origin of a request for the CmWebSocket API or not.

By default, the check is not switched off and is performed (0).

disables the loading of the system libraries that are necessary for recognizing the country code. This means that on older operating systems that do not yet contain these libraries and have not already been excluded by Wibu-Systems, this can be explicitly switched off and CodeMeter can then start properly. If country recognition is deactivated, licenses with country-specific conditions cannot be used (since CodeMeter 8.30).

deactivates the checking of handles via the process ID by CodeMeter License Server and the release of the handle that may be triggered as a result.
This may be necessary in certain operating modes of containerized environments in order to use CodeMeter licenses.

disables name resolution and thus prevents name resolution for logging (license tracking).

allows to explicitly disable certain WebSocket protocol versions.

To completely disable the WebSocket interface use DisableWebSocketVersions = 0xFFFFFFFFF.

Optional disabling of a version of the WebSocket API from version 4: DisableWebSocketVersions = <Matching Bit>.

specifies the CmContainer Types activated. Currently, four flags are defined which can be bit-wise combined.

This setting is used to avoid technical problems on some systems.

This parameter is available for embedded systems only ( Linux arm and Big Endian) and is ignored for all other platforms.

specifies the current path information where CodeMeter License Server is stored.

On any start, CodeMeter License Server saves this path to the parameter allowing applications calling CodeMeter on request to start CodeMeter License Server.

specifies in milliseconds the maximum value of the timeout that is used to resolve the IP address to the host name.

This is used for optimization and adaptation to specific network properties.

The default value is 10 milliseconds. The value can also be set to a value between 0 and 0xffffffffffff (49 days) milliseconds.

allows users to list all rejected allocations for a specific CodeMeter License Server (local or remote) and retrieve them as log entries.

allows to set restrictions on retrieving rejected allocations by specifying a single Firm Code, e.g. 6000010.

By default, listing includes all available firm Firm Codes.

allows setting a maximum number of list entries when retrieving rejected allocations.

The specified number of list entries is kept until users actively retrieve the list entries via a corresponding cmu command.

By default, the listing covers 1000 entries. Optionally, an input interval between [1..200000] is supported.

specifies how long the timeout value is for the log file deletion. The default value is 336 hours, i.e. 14 days.

specifies whether CmActLicense diagnostic logging is activated or not.

specifies after how many minutes the event log file will be rotated.

Accepted values are in the range 1 to 525600 (8760 hours, 365 days). Default value is 1440 (24h).

The default value is also used when the specified value is out of range or not specified.

specifies after which size in MegaByte the event log file should be rotated.

Accepted values are in the range from 1 to 3500 (3.42 GigaByte, Gb). The default value is 10 (10 MegaByte).

The default value is also used if the specified value is out of range or not specified.

specifies whether logging of the console or GUI output is activated or not.

specifies whether license tracking is activated or not.

specifies the location to where the license tracking files are written to.

Default location is a directory "Licensetracking" parallel to the "Logs" directory specified in parameter LogPath.

[1..3500]

If a license tracking log file exceeds a size of x MB, the rotation starts.

The input range of x is from 1 to 3500 MB.

The default value is 1000 MB.

If the specified value is outside the input range, automatically the default value applies.

[0..525600]

If the oldest entry of a license tracking log file is older than n minutes, the rotation should start.

The default value is 0 hours.

The input range of n is from 0 to 525600 minutes (approx. 1 year).

If the specified value is outside the input range, automatically the default value applies.

specifies the location where the log files are written to.

Default location is the directory generated platform dependently by the Installer.

specifies the period how long License Transfer client data will be stored.

The time is stored in hours to be able to test using small periods. In CodeMeter WebAdmin it is stored in days. The default setting is 100 days, i.e. 2400 hours.

specifies the maximum length of TCP/IP requests in bytes. Default is 64 MB which should be sufficient for all known API calls.

specifies whether an access to a Firm Security Box (FSB) entry is allowed via network or not.

specifies the network port address for the communication. The default value is the port address 22350.

The port 22350 is registered by Wibu-Systems at IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) and uniquely assigned for the CodeMeter communication. For a list of assigned ports see www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.

specifies the TCP/IP network timeout value.

   TrustedWebSocketOrigins5 = http://example.com:33

specifies the waiting time in seconds after a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) request is retried.

After a UDP search in the network the servers found are stored inside CodeMeter License Server for this time. The range of the parameter is [1, 3600]. The default value is 20 seconds.

specifies the waiting time in milliseconds in order to define the period in which a UDP (User Datagram Protocol)  request for an existing CodeMeter License Server on the network has to reply.

This is the maximum time all other servers can answer to the request. The default value is 1000 milliseconds. The range of this parameter is [100, 15000].

specifies whether CodeMeter can be used mobile.

If enabled, a protected application and CodeMeter License Server can be started from a mobile disk and will terminate when the last handle of a protected application was released and the protected application has terminated.

specifies whether CodeMeter Mobile variables are used or not.

If CodeMeter uses a local CodeMeter.ini file, the following variables will be used:

o$(CODEMETER_HOME) - contains the absolute path of CodeMeter.exe.

o$(CODEMETER_DRIVE) - contains the drive letter of the CmDongle.

For example, the LogPath may be set to "$(CODEMETER_HOME)\logs".

If set to a value 0, these variables will not be inserted into CodeMeter.ini but the absolute paths remain.

specifies whether CodeMeter applies the system proxy settings or not.

Please note, that under Linux, the environment variable http_proxy is considered as system proxy. https_proxy is not yet supported.

specifies whether communication between CodeMeter License Server and CmDongle is direct or file I/O based.

specifies how long after system start CodeMeter.exe waits in seconds. After that, the WibuCm.dll library starts CodeMeter.exe as an application [Windows only ].

The default maximum value for such possible inactivity is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

This timeout can be changed in seconds. The minimum value is 1 second.

The value zero is not valid and the default timeout (300 seconds) is used.

specifies the global maximum period a license is blocked by an borrowing server in minutes.

specifies the global maximum number of licenses which can be borrowed from an borrowing server.
