Introduction

This page describes the process for importing a licence update file for a Wibu dongle. In order to perform the update, you will need a .WibuCmRaU file that will have been emailed to you by TUFLOW staff, this should be saved on your computer. If you have this file you can begin the process below!

Common Questions

I have TUFLOW simulations running, will it stop these?
No, we have found that the process below should work, even if simulations are currently running. If you are worried, simply hold off until your simulations have finished.

Do I need to update the licence on each computer that will use TUFLOW?
No, the update file modifies the dongle coding itself, once applied the changes will apply to all computer that use the dongle. If you try to apply an update file more than once an error will be generated.

If I update the Wibu licence for a new version of TUFLOW, will I still be able to use current / previous versions of TUFLOW?
Yes, if you update the licence for the 2015 maintenance period, you can still use previous versions of TUFLOW such as the 2013 TUFLOW release.
