Introduction

This page contains a brief introduction to the Wibu dongles.

Installation

Installing CodeMeter RunTime Kit

The first step in using the Wibu licence is to install the CodeMeter Runtime Kit. This needs to be installed for any computers that will be running TUFLOW (from either local or network licence) as well as for the network licence server.
The latest version can be downloaded from CodeMeter site:
http://www.codemeter.de/us/service/downloads.html
The correct file to download is the CodeMeter Runtime Kit for Windows

Once installed the configuration depends on if the TUFLOW licence is a Local or Network licence. For a local licence, the dongle can now be inserted into the machine and TUFLOW simulations can be started.

Configuring Network Server

If the TUFLOW licence is a network licence, the computer hosting the dongle will need to be configured as a TUFLOW server. This is required even if the simulations are to be performed on the server. Instructions for configuring the network licence are detailed in the following page:
WIBU Configure Network Server

Configuring Access to Network Licence

To access TUFLOW licences on a remote network server, the CodeMeter runtime kit needs to be installed on the client machine. Once installed, CodeMeter needs to be configured to use the network licence. Instructions for configuring the network licence are detailed in the following page:
