The challengesĬodeMeter software protection and licensing solutions from Wibu-Systems provide software vendors with the tools they need to protect their intended license models from violation in a virtual environment.ĬodeMeter supports the use of both hardware ( CmDongle/CmCard) and software based protection solutions ( CmActLicense) in the virtual environment.

The software vendor must therefore endeavor to find a simple yet long-term solution to this problem. And this is the decisive point: Multiple use of resources in a virtual environment inevitably means multiple use of licensed software which is a violation of its terms of use. The aim is to use the available resources as efficiently as possible. Within the scope of virtualization, a computer physically connected to the network can be configured to allow multiple persons to log on to it and share its applications and resources (terminal server). The virtual computer shares the available resources with the real computer and other virtual environments installed on the computer. In the IT sector, virtuality refers to an additional environment (virtual machine) on a real computer in which another computer virtually exists and runs its own operating system. The virtual object however has the same nature and effect as the object which really exists. Virtuality is defined as the property of an object not to physically exist in the form it appears to. This article shows how Wibu-Systems solutions successfully handle these topics in virtual space as well. The key benefits include better use of resources, lower investment costs and platform independency. Virtualization was already making headway in the 90s, it’s impossible to imagine the IT world of today without it.
