Description

CodeMeter: Secure, Flexible, and Sovereign Software Licensing and Protection CodeMeter is a proven technology developed by Wibu-Systems, an independent, Germany-headquartered company, to protect, license, and monetize software and digital assets across B2B and industrial applications. At its core, CodeMeter empowers software publishers and intelligent device manufacturers to safeguard intellectual property, enforce licensing models, and build revenue streams while maintaining full control over their digital assets. Combining advanced cryptography and sophisticated obfuscation techniques, with secure key storage and versatile license management, CodeMeter offers a scalable and modular approach to fence applications against piracy, tampering, and reverse engineering, ensuring that intellectual property remains secure and fully under the vendor’s control. Its heterogeneous licensing infrastructure supports both hardware-based (CmDongle — available as USB dongles, secure memory cards, and ASICs) and software-based (CmActLicense) license containers, complemented by cloud-based options (CmCloudContainers). This hybrid approach allows seamless license delivery and enforcement across a diverse range of devices and deployment scenarios, providing maximum resilience and interoperability. At the heart of CodeMeter is CodeMeter License Central, a robust platform to automate license creation, activation, and management, with extensive API integration for ERP, CRM, and e-commerce environments. It supports a wide array of licensing models — from perpetual licenses to subscriptions and usage-based schemes — empowering agile, customer-centric monetization strategies. Complementing this, CodeMeter License Reporting delivers actionable insights into license consumption and user behavior, enabling vendors to optimize product offerings, identify upselling opportunities, and support data-driven business decisions. Fully developed and maintained in Europe, CodeMeter guarantees technological transparency and aligns with European cybersecurity and data protection regulations while serving customers worldwide. It supports strategic autonomy, enabling European and global innovators to build resilient, secure, and future-proof digital ecosystems. CodeMeter is a cornerstone for sustainable, sovereign, and scalable software monetization in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
