Configure CodeMeter Runtime to manage licenses stored on a Wibu-type USB hardkey and serve them over your network.

Prerequisites:

  • A computer on your network that will act as the license server with CodeMeter Runtime software installed

  • A Wibu-type hardkey that contains your AVEVA Edge licenses.

A validated version of CodeMeter Runtime is automatically installed with the full AVEVA Edge software, so in most cases, you should install AVEVA Edge on the computer that will be your license server. For more information, see Install the full software.

You do not need to license AVEVA Edge to run on that computer in order to use CodeMeter Runtime, but you can do so if the computer will also be used as a project development workstation and/or a project runtime server. For more information, see Execution modes.

Alternatively, if your license server will be another computer on which you do not want to install AVEVA Edge, you must manually download and install the full CodeMeter Runtime software on that computer. You can download the software from the Wibu Systems website at: www.wibu.com/downloads-user-software.html

Note: The full CodeMeter Runtime software includes CodeMeter Control Center, which provides additional options for managing CodeMeter Runtime and upgrading Wibu-type hardkeys. For more information, see Upgrade an existing hardkey license for License Server.

CodeMeter Control Center is not installed with AVEVA Edge .

CodeMeter Runtime itself does not require any license to run, because it can only be used to manage Wibu-type hardkeys. In other words, CodeMeter Runtime is useless without a hardkey to manage.

To configure CodeMeter Runtime to serve licenses:

  1. Connect your hardkey to the USB port of the license server (the computer on which CodeMeter Runtime has been installed).

  2. On the same computer, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer, and then go to: http://localhost:22350/

    Note: You might have turned on Microsoft IIS on this computer โ€” for example, if you intend to use it as your AVEVA Edge project runtime server โ€” but it does not need to be turned on for you to go to this localhost address, because CodeMeter Runtime runs as a separate process on port 22350.

    The home page of CodeMeter WebAdmin is displayed.

  3. Note the host name and IP address.

    You will need this information in order to access the license server from other computers.

  4. On the navigation bar, click Configuration, and then on the Configuration tab, select Server.

    The Configuration > Server page is displayed.

  5. Select Run Network Server, and then select Apply.

  6. On the navigation bar, select Server, and then on the Server tab, select Cluster.

    The Server > Cluster page is displayed.

  7. Look at the page and verify that your Wibu-type hardkey is properly connected and providing the correct license information.

  8. Close the web browser.

CodeMeter Runtime is now providing the licenses to your network. You should also now be able to access CodeMeter WebAdmin across the network at: http://host name or IP address:22350/

If you cannot access the license server from another computer on the same network, make sure that port 22350 is open in your network firewall.

AVEVA Edge has been validated to work only with CodeMeter Runtime for Windows, and AVEVA does not directly support any version of CodeMeter Runtime. If you need help with CodeMeter Runtime, especially with CodeMeter Runtime for Mac or Linux, please contact Wibu Systems at: www.wibu.com/support-downloads.html
