* '''WIBU Cloud Licence''': WIBU cloud licences are hosting on the WIBU cloud server. An internet connection is required to access a cloud licence. WIBU Cloud licences are recognised by the 2016-03-AF release onwards.<br>
The following pages provide details how to install, update and manage TUFLOW licences using all of the above forms.
The first step when using a Wibu licence for TUFLOW modelling is to install CodeMeter User Runtime. It needs to be installed for all computers that will be running TUFLOW or configured as a network licence server.<br>▼

==Configuring Network Server==▼
If the TUFLOW licence is a network licence, the computer hosting the dongle will need to be configured as a TUFLOW server. This is required even if the simulations are to be performed on the server. Instructions for configuring the network licence are detailed in the following page:<br>▼
*<u>[[WIBU_Configure_Network_Server| WIBU Configure Network Server]]</u>▼
==Configuring Access to Network Licence==▼
To access TUFLOW licences on a remote network server, the CodeMeter runtime kit needs to be installed on the client machine. Once installed, CodeMeter needs to be configured to use the network licence.▼

=Updating a Licence=
There are a number of reasons that the Wibu licence may need to be updated, for example:
* To add additional licences
Line 45 ⟶ 20:
* To add rental licences
For each change to the dongle, it will be necessary to provide a licence update request file to the TUFLOW staff. The procedure is the same for local and network licences, the request will need to be generated from the computer which has the licence container (eg. USB-2 hardware lock, software lock).
==Request a
The instructions for creating a licence request differ slightly depending on the licence container type and operating system. <br>

After creating the licence update request, please email the created file ('''.WibuCmRaC''') to <u>[mailto:sales@tuflow.com sales@tuflow.com]</u>.<br>

==Import a
Once a licence update has been created, an update file will be provided to you via email. This update file will have the extension '''.WibuCmRaU'''. When an update is applied, this modifies the contents of the licence container (eg. USB-2 hardware lock, software lock), it does not need to be applied on each computer that will be used for TUFLOW modelling!<br><br>

==Diagnostics==
===cmDust===
When the CodeMeter Runtime Kit is installed a diagnostics utility call '''cmDust''' is also installed. The following link provides instructions how to create a diagnostics file. This file may be request by <u>[mailto:support@tuflow.com support@tuflow.com]</u> when solutions to licensing issues are being investigated:
