By default Codemeter will log events, such as when TUFLOW licenses are being used and when they are returned to the dongle. This information can be viewed both via the Codemeter events tab and within the output produced by the [[WIBU_create_cmDust | cmDust utility]]. Both of these logs however are limited in the history of information they can provide.<br> |
