==WIBU Dongles / WIBU Software Licences==
 
'''WIBU dongles''' were introduced in 2010 and support 64-bit platforms. Two licence types are available, local and network:
* With local licence dongle TUFLOW simulations can only be run on the computer hosting the dongle.
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
'''WIBU software licence''' is recognised by the 2016-03-AE release onwards and provided in a form of a digital file. The computer or server where the software licence is installed on becomes the licence host from which any computer within the organisation can pull licences from. The software licence is more restrictive compared to the dongle licence in that it is locked to a single computer.<br>
<br>
WibuWIBU dongles (and WIBU software licences) have several advantages over the Softlok dongles: <br>
* Support for 64-bit platforms and future options for non-Windows platforms;
* Network licence manager runs as a service (ie. the computer with the network dongle needs to be on, but no one needs to be logged in);
Line 23 ⟶ 22:

'''Note, for the 2009-07, 2008-08, 2007-07 and 2006-06 releases, the “DB” builds or later will need to be used to recognise a WIBU Codemeter dongle.'''<br>
