Wibu-Systems is an innovative security technology leader in the global software licensing market. The company is focused on delivering the highest level of protection, licensing, and security for digital assets and intellectual property in an increasingly connected world. Our solutions are used globally be software publishers and manufacturers of intelligent devices who distribute their applications through PCs, mobile devices, embedded systems, PLCs, and microcontrollers. 

a 1-hour Webinar for ISVs and embedded software engineers that demonstrates the implementation of features-on-demand software licensing, meaning users are not forced to buy or pay for the entire package, but only for the features they want to use. In this case, the seller gets their software to the user at a lower entry price, and the users have the opportunity to pay for only the the features they want to add.

Features-on-Demand Software Licensing

Machine learning is reliable - provided the AI algorithm that generates the trained model is sound and has not been tampered with. The IP you need to protect includes the training data set, the training setup, and the resulting trained model. With CodeMeter, you can encrypt the model to safeguard it against unauthorized use, copying, or espionage in both online and offline scenarios. Additionally, CodeMeter can encrypt and sign data to add an extra layer of security on top of anonymization or pseudonymization.

Security and Protection for Machine Learning

A license portal is the perfect self-service solution for software publishers, clients, and distribution partners. It allows for moving licenses to other devices, dongles or users, recovering lost licenses, generating and activating emergency licenses, creating demo or trial licenses, binding cloud licenses to other devices, changing the access details for cloud licenses, defining hierarchies for different roles and, of course, also keeping track of all license actions you and your customers operate and customizing the look and feel to match your brand. This Webinar demonstrates Wibu-Systems WebDepot self-service software license portal.

Software License Portal: The Do-it-Yourself Solution

Subscriptions have become the de facto standard for software sales. For both software vendors and their users, subscriptions offer real advantages: Users get access to the newest version of the software they want for a manageable monthly or annual fee or other payment option, and vendors get a reliable revenue stream, great control over the use of their product, and far simpler, streamlined rollout, distribution, and updating processes.

In this Webinar, we take a look at three ways to implement a smart and secure subscription service with CodeMeter: Activating and deactivating licenses upon purchase and expiration, creating temporary licenses and renewing them for every subscription renewal, or adding top-up time contingents to existing temporary licenses.

The Webinar is ideal for ISVs and software publishers who are considering migrating to a subscription licensing model for their software. A demonstration of Wibu-Systems' CodeMeter software licensing and protection platform is included.

Subscription Software Licensing: Relationships Built to Last

Are you an ISV or embedded systems engineer involved with managing software entitlements and licensing?

Putting a license on a dongle and sending it to its intended user seems like child’s play. But what if the license needs to be bound to a specific device to work as an offline license, or assigned to a specific user as a user-bound cloud license? How do processes have to change when licenses get updated? What happens when users lose or break their devices and the licenses stored on them? Or when users forget their login credentials? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a single system that has all these processes covered under one roof?

This Webinar provides an introduction to CodeMeter License Central, a versatile license and entitlement management systems, whether licenses are contained on physical dongles, files on PCs, or user accounts living in the cloud.

Creating, Delivering, and Managing Software Licenses Made Easy

Cloud licensing comes in many shapes and sizes: Licenses can be created in the cloud, distributed through the cloud, or even used and monitored right in the cloud itself. The possible scenarios multiply if one adds the many ways and places in which a software can be used: on premise or in the cloud, run by the end user, or possibly provided as a service (SaaS) by a vendor. For any and all of these scenarios, CodeMeter has a perfect solution. CodeMeter License Central lets software vendors create, manage, and distribute licenses to their end users; CodeMeter Cloud Lite provides simple licensing capabilities for SaaS applications run by their vendors; CodeMeter Cloud allows ISVs to store licenses in the cloud for end users to enjoy their software wherever they want; and the license portal is the self-service solution for end users. This Webinar provides a detailed overview of the key building blocks of the CodeMeter licensing solution for the Cloud.

ArtiMinds Robotics specializes in the development and sales of software used to standardize workflows for industrial automation using advanced robotics. The company developed groundbreaking algorithmic technology and is now embracing Artificial Intelligence more and more to program remarkably complex robotic systems. The high degree of innovation of the software makes it interesting not only for the users, but is also an invitation to reverse engineering and piracy attacks. To safeguard against these threats even before going to market, ArtiMinds initially selected hardware-based protections, but soon moved on to apply the full license management and IP protection features of CodeMeter, Wibu-Systems' award-winning software protection and licensing platform.

CodeMeter: The Software Protection, Licensing and Security Solution

Auguste Kerckhoffs postulated his eponymous principle back in the 19th century:  "A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system, except for the key, is public knowledge". This means that an effective method does not have to be kept secret. If it were, you should wonder why. This video describes a new method of software encryption, called Blurry Box, based on Kerckoffs principle, developed in a collaborative research effort between the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the FZI Research Center, and Wibu-Systems. Blurry Box cryptography uses seven published methods that greatly increase the complexity and time required for an attack to be successful. In the end, it would be easier and less expensive for the would-be attacker to develop similar software from scratch. Blurry Box cryptography can be combined with the anti-debug and obfuscation methods typical of Wibu-Systems' CodeMeter Protection Suite. With Blurry Box, software protection becomes measurable and comparable. No blind faith needed.

The Co-Chairs of the Industrial Internet Consortium Trustworthiness Task Group discuss the essence of trustworthiness in connected industrial systems in the form of five factors - safety, security, privacy, reliability, and resilience, as outlined in the IIC Trustworthiness Foundation Document. The speakers engage in a live discussion on the problems facing modern connected industry, the urgency of the situation, and the potential and opportunity created by the proposed solution: A shared understanding of how systems should be organized and operate with each other in order for us to entrust them with the critical infrastructure running our cities, the systems keeping vital supply chains functioning, the software operating potentially life-saving medical devices, or the lines of communication through which some of our most private information is being shared on a regular basis.

According to Gartner, the next generation of software monetization is not just about IP protection nor limited to licensing alternatives, but rather about enabling business models that provide additional opportunity for monetization to drive growth. This 2 minute video provides insight into Wibu-Systems CodeMeter licensing and protection solution for ISVs and embedded device manufacturers.

New Business Models Driving Creative Software Monetization Strategies

ISVs are transitioning to deliver SaaS solutions instead of traditional on-premise software apps, but the road is far from easy. With increasing mobility, employees themselves are moving off premises and require more flexibility in the way they access their applications from home offices and remote locations. Managing licenses in the cloud to address application mobility can be complex. In this interview, David Paine unravels the complexities of managing software licenses in the cloud with Wibu-Systems CodeMeter Cloud software licensing solution.
