==WIBU Dongles==
 
WIBU Codemeter dongles were introduced in 2010 and support 64-bit platforms. TheyThe computer or server that the licence dongle is plugged into becomes the licence host. With network type licence any computer within the organisation can pull licences from the licence host over the network. Wibu dongles 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);

Softlok dongles are no longer issued as of August 2010 as they are unable to provide 64-bit support, however the dongles continue to be supported for 32-bit versions of TUFLOW. Softlok dongles may be exchanged for a WIBU dongle for a nominal fee. Please contact [mailto:sales@tuflow.com sales@tuflow.com]. For further information and installation instructions, refer to the dedicated Wiki page [[Softlok_Dongles | here]].
 
==Software Licence==
 
Software licence is recognised by the 2017 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.
