CodeMeter License Central includes a powerful SOAP-based interface and can define a broad range of licensing options. This means that you can map CodeMeter License Central items directly to your ERP items, so you can maintain the same SKUs you are currently using, yet have the flexibility to place multiple SKUs in a single order – if you choose to; your licenses, your way.

The benefits of using CodeMeter License Central combine:

The CodeMeter License Central interface is exceptionally flexible, easily fitting  into most established business processes with little need for customization. This allows you to focus on your core business, knowing that your IP is secure from hackers and counterfeiters. Since it integrates seemlessly with your CRM and ERP systems, you are able to keep the same look and feel you are already familiar with.

Cloud-based Editions

The cloud-based editions of CodeMeter License Central make it easy for you to start licensing with CodeMeter. Your CodeMeter License Central is operated for you by our WIBU Operating Services team with 99.9% availability in the cloud.

Available Editions

CodeMeter License Central is available in three different editions and a special high availability package in the cloud. These editions differ in the supported number of monthly transactions, the interfaces for integration into third-party systems, and the length of the maintenance period.

  • Datacenter Edition: The Datacenter Edition Edition is the version that allows for up to 1,500 activations and deactivations per month. As a software vendor, you have access to the vendor portal. To activate your licenses, WebDepot is available to you as a user portal and gateway for integration into your software. The Datacenter Edition contains all standard connectors for e-commerce and ERP systems.
  • Dedicated Server Edition: The Dedicated Server Edition includes up to 3,000 activations and deactivations per month. Besides WebDepot, Gateway, and Connectors, you have the possibility to directly access the WebServices of CodeMeter License Central, to provide an extended License Portal for your users, and to make extensions to WebDepot, Gateway, and Connectors.
  • High Performance Edition: The High Performance Edition includes up to 25,000 activations and deactivations per month and provides all integration and customization options of the Dedicated Server Edition.

It is possible to exceed these monthly transaction thresholds with each edition, for example, in the event of a particularly busy, but limited update period. If you need more than 25,000 activations and deactivations per month or want to further reduce maintenance times, it is possible to combine several High Performance Editions (lines) into one High Availability Package:

  • High Availability Package: A High Availability Package comprises two High Performance Editions and a load balancing mechanism. It is designed for up to 50,000 activations and deactivations per month. The package can be extended further by adding more High Performance Editions (lines).
