Line 1: =Introduction= TUFLOW Products are licenced via Wibu Codemeter locks, available in three forms; WIBU USB-2 Dongles (Hardware lock), WIBU Software Licences (Software lock) and WIBU Cloud locks.<br> * '''WIBU Hardware Lock''': WIBU hardware locks are physical dongles (USB-2) that contain TUFLOW licences. Licences are coded onto the dongle and can be moved between computers. WIBU hardware locks are recognised by the 2006-06-BD release onwards. '''WIBU Software Lock''': WIBU software locks are coded onto the computer's or server's motherboard, it cannot be transferred to a different host. WIBU software locks are recognised by the 2016-03-AF release onwards. Line 8: =Installation= ==Installing CodeMeter RunTime Kit== The first step inwhen using ~~the~~a Wibu licence for TUFLOW modelling is to install CodeMeter User Runtime. ~~This~~It needs to be installed for ~~any~~all computers that will be running TUFLOW asor ~~well~~configured as ~~for the~~a network licence server.<br> The latest version of CodeMeter User Runtime can be downloaded from ~~CodeMeter site~~:<br> <u>[https://www.wibu.com/support/user/downloads-user-software.html https://www.wibu.com/support/user/downloads-user-software.html]</u> === Installing CodeMeter RunTime Kit for Windows === <br> ~~The~~Download ~~correct~~the ~~file~~latest ~~to download is the '''~~CodeMeter Runtime Kit for Windows~~'''~~ installer<br> [[File:CodeMeter_RuntimeKit_Download_02.png\|550px]] <br>Install the software <br>▼ If a computer is used as network ~~license~~licence server, please select the "Network Server" option during the installation,. soSelecting ~~that~~this ~~CodeMeter~~option ~~can~~will configure the appropriate TCP and UDP protocols in the Windows Firewall.<br> [[File:CodeMeter_Network_Server_install_02.png\|550px]] <br> ~~<br>~~ ~~Once installed the configuration depends on if the TUFLOW licence is a local, network or software licence.~~ * If this is the first time the licence has been used, or your existing licence has expired. You will need to update your licence file. Please progress to the <u>[[#Request_a_licence_update\| Request a licence update]]</u> section * If there is already an active licence associated with the dongle: ~~:* For a local licence, the dongle can now be inserted into the machine and TUFLOW simulations can be started.~~ :* For a network and software licence, continue to the <u>[[#Configuring_Network_Server \| configure network server]]</u> and <u>[[#Configuring_Access_to_Network Licence \| configure network access]]</u> sections below. ===Silent Install=== It is possible to do a silent install of the CodeMeter Runtime kit. CodeMeter support staff have advised that this can be done with the following parameters:<br> Line 45 ⟶ 41: =Updating= There are a number of reasons that the Wibu licence may need to be updated, for example: * To add additional ~~modules~~licences * To update to new support year * 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.~~<br>~~ 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). ~~The procedure is the same for local and network licences, the request will need to be generated from the computer which has the dongle plugged in.~~ ==Request a licence update== The instructions for creating a licence request differ slightly depending ~~whether~~on the ~~dongle~~ ~~has~~licence ~~not~~container ~~previously~~type ~~been~~and ~~coded~~operating ~~for TUFLOW simulations or if the dongle has not been provided by BMT~~system. <br> '''Hardware Licence (USB)''' <br> * <u>[[WIBU_Licence_Update_Request \| Wibu licence update request for Windows (normal)]]</u> - Unless specified otherwise by the TUFLOW staff, this option is the correct one tofor ~~chose~~a USB-2 hardware lock. * <u>[[WIBU_Licence_Update_Request_Uncoded \| Wibu licence update request for Windows (uncoded or blank dongle)]]</u> - If you have been provided with a blank dongle or are using a non BMT dongle the TUFLOW producer code needs to be added when requesting the licence update.<br> * <u>[[WIBU_Licence_for_Linux \| Wibu licence update request for Linux]]</u> Line 64 ⟶ 59: ==Import a licence update== Once a licence update has been created, an update file will be ~~provide~~provided to you via email.
