CodeMeter WebAdmin

 Scroll Prev Top Next More

With CodeMeter WebAdmin you obtain information on connected CmContainer and available licenses stored in them.  In addition, you configure the service CodeMeter License Server. In detail, CodeMeter WebAdmin provides many configuration and analysis options in the following areas:

•status information: host, CmContainer

•configuration: use as network server, proxy settings, access protection, remote access, time server, backup

•display: display of all existing licenses locally and on the network, view of license conditions, session information

•management: management of network licenses by manual allocation of licenses

•diagnosis: logging

•backup.

CodeMeter WebAdmin has a separate service process. Two ports are available for the TCP communication. For the HTTP protocol the port 22352 (default) and for the HTTPS protocol the port 22353. The ports can be changed in profiling.

By default, you will be automatically redirected from HTTP port 22350 to HTTP port 22352 and, if HTTPS is set, to port 22350. If this does not happen automatically in exceptional cases, you will be prompted to redirect manually. Click the button  "Click here to get redirected".

By default, CodeMeter WebAdmin uses the encryption protocol TLS 1.3 for secure data transmission (Transport Layer Security).

In justified individual cases, deviating versions can be set via profiling.

Terms used

The following list briefly describes terms which recur on single pages in CodeMeter WebAdmin.

Term

Description

Access Mode

see: Status

Activation Time

Informs on the activation time of a license, i.e. the start time of a valid license.

Borrow Licenses

Informs on existing borrowed licenses, the borrowing period, and a unique security identifier (SID) when used on a network.

Country-specific Licenses

Informs on Country specific Licenses

Currently Borrows Licenses

Number of the currently borrowed licenses.

Expiration Time

Informs on the expiration date of a license, i.e. when the license expires.

Extended Protected Data

Additional entry field for binary data for the licensor.

Feature Map

Informs on licenses which the licensor delivers with different functionalities and modules, or in different versions. These are mapped by Feature Maps describing a special functional scope. The value specified here informs on the valid functionality or the activated module/version.

Firm Code

Number which identifies the separate license container of a licensor.

Hidden Data

Additional entry field for binary data for the licensor.

Implicit Firm Item (IFI)

The license container holding licenses the users are able to use only with their CmDongle Password. This license container is identified by the number of "0".

License Quantity

Informs on the total number of licenses available for a license.

Linger Time

Informs on the time how long the license lingers after the license is re-allocated after the protected application is closed.

Maintenance Period

Informs on the period in which a protected version of the software has to be released to represent a licensed version. The start and the end of the period displays.

n/a

Informs that no related entry exists for this license (not available).

Named User

informs about licenses that have Named User entries. Values are UserName, UserDomain, UserDefined, SingleAllocation for single NamedUser entries or name lists with ID (NameList(NameListId)).

Product Code

Number which identifies the license entry, i.e. a product, of a licensor.

Protected Data

Additional entry field for binary data for the licensor.

Secret Data

Additional entry field for binary data for the licensor.

Status

Informs on how the number of started instances of a protected software relates to the allocation of licenses (access modes).

User Limit: here each started instance allocates a license.

Shared: here several started instances of the same application on the same PC allocate only a single license.

Exclusive: here a protected application runs only once on a PC.

No User Limit: here any number of started instances of the protected application can be started on the network without allocating additional licenses.

Unit Counter

Informs on licenses which are billed by use (pay-per-use, pay-per-print, etc.). This is implemented by counters which are decremented on use of a product. The value specified here informs on remaining units for the use of a license.

Universal Data

informs on the different Universal Data types (keys, data, passwords) and permissions  for read, write, and/or  use access.

Usage Period

Informs on the usage period of a license. The value specified here informs on the use of a licenses in days. The value can also be bound to a starting time for the validity of a license.

User Data

Additional entry field for binary data for the licensee.

If CodeMeter WebAdmin should not start, please proceed as follows:

1.Check if the used Internet browser is not set to "offline mode".

2.Check the JavaScript support of your Internet browser.

information_weiss_klein26

JavaScript must be activated for effective using CodeMeter WebAdmin.

3.Type in the URLs: http://localhost:22350 or http://127.0.0.1:22350 directly in the address field of your Internet browser.

The use of TCP/IP in CodeMeter

The communication between protected applications and CodeMeter License Server bases on the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). This is valid not only for locally existing licenses, but also for licenses which are provided via a network.

By default, CodeMeter uses the port 22350 registered by Wibu-Systems at IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) and uniquely assigned for the CodeMeter communication. The list of assigned ports can be viewed at www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.

In order to make available a client access to a CodeMeter License Server on the network, a communication using the CodeMeter port must be supported. If the server should locate in another network area, eventually the port must be made known and accessible as part of the infrastructure (router, firewall, etc.).

For the direct access to CodeMeter License Server on the network, the communication bases on TCP. For an automatic search of servers on the network, additionally a broadcast via UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is performed (it is listened only at server search time and only until the end of the UDP Waiting Time).

information_weiss_klein26

The access using the CodeMeter port is performed only for the access to CodeMeter License Servers and this only within the organization which runs the network server.

In particular, using this port no communication into the internet is performed.

In CodeMeter settings of CodeMeter WebAdmin an option exist to configure the CodeMeter port to a value other than the default of 22350. However, such a change should have plausible reasons, e.g. in the case of parallel test environments on the same network. In addition, such a change requires the same configuration of all affected CodeMeter License Servers.
