Data file encryption and license provision process

Wibu-Systems CodeMeter Data File Encryption Procedure

1. Encryption by software manufacturers

Software manufacturers encrypt application software and the data files output by that software.

2. License to End Users

End users are provided with the following licenses:

  • Application software licenses
  • License for text files

The same license can be used for both the application software and the text file.
By using separate Product Codes, you can set different license types for each (subscription, limited-time use, perpetual license, etc.).
Note: The Product Code is a code used to identify the licensed product.

3. End User Rights

Licensed end users can:

  • Use application software
  • Decrypting data files

This trend will enable end users to safely use application software and manage their data.
