CodeMeter 7.60c
Release Date
2023-Aug-10
Operating systems
Windows, Linux, macOS
Info:
Note on security vulnerabilities

During tests by Wibu-Systems, it was discovered that a heap buffer overflow was possible,
which could potentially lead to remote code execution (CVE-2023-3935). There is no
known attack and also no evidence of the possible exploitation of the vulnerability.
Furthermore, other security mechanisms had to be bypassed to be successful with this
attack. For the attack to be possible from another computer, CodeMeter license server had
to be configured as a network server. See also Security Advisory WIBU-230704-01 at
https://www.wibu.com/support/security-advisories.html (FB91132).
Features:
FB92338: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense: The binding for i.MX boards under
Linux has been adapted.
Bugfixes:
FB92278: CodeMeter License Server: CodeMeter diagnostic files for CmActLicenses

could become very large under certain conditions.
FB92188: CodeMeter License Server: In individual cases, an incorrect device ID was

transmitted in the context file (WibuCmRaC) for licenses with Binding Extension.

Info:
Technical revisions of CmActLicenses (FB 82695)

The mechanism used until now for storing CmActLicenses on the user's system has
technical limitations when using many CmActLicenses, whether in parallel operation or
also in relation to the history of a system. On the one hand, the number of CmActLicenses
ever present on a system was limited to about 1,600, and on the other hand, the
performance of active CmActLicenses deteriorated significantly with increasing numbers.
Now that the storage of CmActLicenses has been fundamentally revised, on new systems
the performance is independent of the future history of CmActLicenses. Likewise, the
limitation of licenses ever existing on the computer has been eliminated. Special attention
Page: 4 of 162
was paid to operational security while maintaining security functionality against license
fraud. More details about the new limits can be found in the data sheet.
Please note:
• When CodeMeter 7.60 is installed, existing licenses are converted to the new saving
format.
• A downgrade to an older CodeMeter version is possible in principle, but the already
converted CmActLicenses are no longer accessible in the older version.
After a reinstallation of CodeMeter 7.60 converted CmActLicenses are available again.
Features
FB84436: CodeMeter License Server: The connection from CodeMeter License Server to
CmCloud has been changed from http with proprietary encryption of content to https.
FB83995: CodeMeter License Server: When using CmWAN licenses, all entries in the
license tracking file are now complete.
FB87068: CodeMeter License Server: Support of the future billing model "Seats" for
CmCloud accesses. For this purpose, information about the CodeMeter license server
instance running on the respective client is transmitted when CmCloudContainers are
provided via network servers.
FB87551: CodeMeter License Server: When updating licenses in CmContainers, all open
handles are automatically checked and reassigned. To achieve the most identical
assignment of handles to product items possible, product items that have remained the
same are now initially linked to the open handles in the case of Universal Firm Code based
on an existing unique ID.
Bugfixes:
FB84627: CodeMeter License Server: When importing a LiF file, error 303 occurred and
no diagnostic output was created.
FB86888: CodeMeter License Server: Under certain circumstances CodeMeter License

Server under Windows was not terminated in a controlled manner when the operating
system was shut down.
FB88865: CodeMeter License Server: The detection of container environments especially

Docker was compromised.
FB87550: CodeMeter License Server: When reprogramming CmActLicenses with

Universal Firm Code the order of the Product Item References was no longer
deterministic. The order of the Product Item References now behaves as usual again.
FB86206: CodeMeter WebAdmin: Some form fields were vulnerable to cross-site request
forgery attacks.

CodeMeter 7.50
Release Date
2022-Aug-03
Operating systems
Info:
Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE)

CodeMeter Runtime and cpsrt library (CodeMeter Protection Suite Runtime) are shipped
with processor options for Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3) on Windows and cpsrt on
Linux with SSE4. Details on system requirements can be found in the CodeMeter Runtime
data sheet (FB 85658).
Features:
FB25085: CodeMeter License Server: LogRotation has been introduced for the CodeMeter
event log file. The file change of the log file is controlled by a maximum file size and a
maximum time window.
The changes are logged in the event log file and occur automatically by default after 24
hours or when the file size of 10 MB is exceeded. The resulting log files are distinguished
by date and time in the file name.
These settings can be changed in the CodeMeter configuration, the corresponding
information on configuration parameters can be taken from the user documentation. The
parameter change becomes effective after a restart.
FB81937: CodeMeter License Server: For Named User entries a new flag allows
specifying the 'User' or 'Domain\User' via 'Userdefined Text' and thus, for example, to
assign the license of a specific user on test systems.
FB82926: CodeMeter License Server: When using namelist files, the distinction of names
regarding upper/lower case can be switched off. For this purpose, the parameter
'IgnoreCase' can be set to the value 'true' in the namelist file.
FB85364: CodeMeter License Server: When calling CmGetRemoteContext2 in the Core

API, a performance improvement could be achieved with high numbers of Product Items
(from approx. 60).
FB49062: CodeMeter License Server: Extended license access permissions (Access

Control List, ACL) are also available for CodeMeter License Servers under Linux and
macOS. This provides access control options for users at the level of container serial
number, Firm Code, Product Code and user name or subnet. A connection to directory
servers (Active Directory, LDAP) is not included.
Page: 7 of 162
FB79716: CodeMeter License Server: The settings for compilers on Linux have been
changed to harden the software against exploitation of vulnerabilities.
FB82429. CodeMeter License Server: CmCloud: The procedure for checking the
connection to CmCloudContainers has been revised. Ping calls to CmCloud are now sent
only, if previous calls to CmCloud failed. This change makes accesses to
CmCloudContainers faster.
Bugfixes:
FB82412: CodeMeter Installer: Linux: When installing CodeMeter under Docker, a

dependency on libcurl for CmAcLicenses was missing in the install package for Linux.
FB81757: CodeMeter License Server: The access to a license with Named User and force
flag set returned a wrong error, if the user was invalid. Error 132 (Named User Credentials
wrong) is now set.
FB83989: CodeMeter License Server: The 'CmAccess2' function call returned a handle to
the caller, if the system time was reset and the license had therefore expired. The security
of a protected application was not affected by this, since subsequent operations requiring
the handle perform a full license check.
FB79121: CodeMeter License Server: With access control via license permissions (ACL),
high response times occurred in scenarios with many Active Directory users or many AD
groups. This was accelerated by a caching mechanism.
FB73402: CodeMeter License Server: License access within the license access
permissons (ACL) was significantly slowed down when a large number of rules were
configured on CodeMeter License Server.
FB74201: CodeMeter License Server: When searching for license servers in the network
via TCP broadcast, local IP addresses were also reported.
FB77526: CodeMeter License Server: Under Linux the interface for 'CmConvertTime' was
not available.
FB82969: CodeMeter License Server: When starting CodeMeter License Server, in rare
cases a high CPU load was shown and in some cases the server did not start.
FB83286: CodeMeter License Server: The 'Feature Code' was not displayed in the event
log after successful access via network on the client.
FB61834: CodeMeter License Server: During downgrade installations, individual registry

entries of CodeMeter were deleted.
FB83769: CodeMeter License Server: When importing Named User lists, inconsistent file
hashes occurred in the license tracking log.
Page: 8 of 162
FB80671: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense: Under Docker, the environment

detection was affected and thus the binding features for SmartBind. This could lead to an
error when importing a LiF file on Linux Debian 11.
FB83327, FB83930, FB83956, FB85614: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense:

Under rare conditions since CodeMeter 7.30 CmActLicenses broke when updating
CodeMeter Runtime or no new CmActLicenses could be activated. The cause was failed
checking of binding properties, which led to the abortion of all checks.
FB83218: CodeMeter License Server: WibuCmNet.dll: Under .NET not all documented
error codes were listed in the enumerated error codes.
FB83342: CodeMeter WebAdmin: A scan performed with Arachni Security Scanner could
cause CodeMeter WebAdmin to crash.
FB81416: CodeMeter WebAdmin: On checking the validity of a license, the time of the
CmContainer is now also used. This means that licenses in a CmContainer are marked as
expired, if the time of the CmContainer is newer than the programmed Expiration Time.
FB81022: cmu: The help for the tool 'cmu' contained options that were not functionally
supported.
CodeMeter 7.40b
Release Date
2022-Apr-13
Operating systems
Bugfixes:
FB82435: CodeMeter License Server: Under certain circumstances CmDongles

communicating via MSD interface were not detected under Windows.
FB82420: CodeMeter License Server: Amazon Cloud (AWS) was not detected correctly on
Ubuntu Linux, if the CodeMeter server was not assigned root privileges. This caused
licenses to break when restarting the Amazon VM.
A workaround can be requested from Wibu-Support to circumvent the problem. A fully
automated solution is planned for release 7.50.
FB79045: CodeMeter License Server: In rare cases CodeMeter crashes occurred after a
license update.
Page: 9 of 162
FB83108: CodeMeter License Server: Activation by phone with a CmActLicense did not
work after CodeMeter version 7.30.
CodeMeter 7.40a
Release Date
2022-Mar-10
Operating systems
Bugfixes:
FB79698: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense: The detection of Microsoft Azure

has been revised. Previously, it did not correctly detect whether the system was running in
Microsoft Azure in all cases. Therefore, in these cases, CmActLicenses did not use the
correct binding, resulting in unexpected behavior.
FB82147: CodeMeter License Server: If the time update was performed via a proxy server
and problems occurred in connection with the name resolution of the time update server,
long waiting times could occur until the time update was aborted.
FB83031: CodeMeter License Server: WibuCmNet.dll: In rare cases, on exiting

encrypted .NET applications an error occurred.
CodeMeter 7.40

2021-Dec-16
Operating systems
Info
Discontinuation
The operating system macOS 10.13 is no longer supported since the support by the
manufacturer has also been discontinued (see Lifecycle) (FB81035).
Page: 10 of 162
Features:
FB79062: CodeMeter License Server: An additional regular communication in the

encrypted channel between CodeMeter License Server and CmDongle ensures that a
CmDongle can permanently only be used by a single CodeMeter License Server.
FB71953: CodeMeter License Server: The name resolution can be switched off via a
profiling entry. Only IP addresses will then appear in the license tracking log.
FB72999: CodeMeter License Server: For CodeMeter and the 'WibuCM.lib' the parameter
checks for the functions of the CodeMeter Core API have been extended to harden
CodeMeter License Server against injection attacks.
FB79137: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense: The encrypted log file for
CmActLicense has been extended to include relevant system information when reading
out the binding features.
FB79967: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense: The binding to the network

interfaces has been standardized for all platforms. Especially under Linux, this improves
the robustness of the binding.
FB80865: CodeMeter License Server: WibuCmJava: When opening the connection from
the library to CodeMeter License Server, in container environments such as Docker, it is
first checked whether the environment variable CODEMETER_HOST is set. If this is the
case, then the connection is made to the IP specified there and CodeMeter License Server
running there is used.
Bugfixes:
FB78632: CodeMeter Installer: Windows: Existing firewall rules for CodeMeter WebAdmin
were not applied during update installations.
FB79266: CodeMeter Installer: macOS: Under macOS, the CodeMeter WebAdmin service
was still present after uninstalling it.
FB79280: CodeMeter License Server: CodeMeter License Server could stop the service in
some cases with high numbers of borrowings and at the same time high numbers of
CmContainers and Product Items.
FB78566: CodeMeter License Server: The timeout for TimeServer updates, which can be
set in profiling, was ignored under certain circumstances.
FB81235: CodeMeter License Server: The function 'CmCreateSequence' crashed

CodeMeter when using null pointers for the return buffer.
FB78832: CodeMeter License Server: When an API call blocks access for further API
calls, the wait mechanism kept a CPU core completely busy for the duration of the wait.
Page: 11 of 162
FB74778: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense: Under Linux, the license could
become invalid under certain circumstances, if the license was bound to the MAC address
of virtual network adapters.
FB70182: CodeMeter License Server: WibuCmNET.dll: An invalid value was returned in

WibuCmNET.dll that was not included in the documented return value list.
FB78642: cmu: cmu showed a wrong status for empty CmActLicense containers.

Info
Note on security vulnerabilities

Through links on filesystem level it was possible to indirectly make files inoperable with
user rights, which were not changeable with user rights (CVE-2021-41057). See also
Security Advisory WIBU-210910-01 at https://www.wibu.com/support/security-
advisories.html (FB79389).
Operating system support

CodeMeter is supported on the new Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 operating
systems.
Features:
FB75801: CodeMeter License Server: Windows: If on the same computer a license with
StationShare is allocated once as a service and once as an application, they now share
the license.
FB77760: cmu: cmu shows an extended list of CodeMeter files, including files related to
AxProtector.
Bugfixes:
FB79145: CodeMeter Installer: Windows: If the user had .NET Framework smaller than
version 4.7.2 installed, the appropriate variant of the WibuCmNET runtime library was not
installed. Thus .NET 4 applications could not access CodeMeter.
Page: 12 of 162
FB79167: CodeMeter License Server: CodeMeter did not generate continuous log file IDs
for License Tracking when multiple Firm Items were active.
As of version 7.30a, unique and continuous log file IDs are generated for each Firm Item,
which can be found in the header of the License Tracking log files.
FB79173: CodeMeter License Server: Duplicate license checkout returns were logged in
the License Tracking log files under certain conditions. This was purely a duplication in the
logging; no problems occurred in the license borrowing area.
FB78812: CodeMeter License Server: When using user-sided Named User entries and
license borrowing at the same time, the order of entries in License Tracking was not
correct.
FB78761: CodeMeter License Server: A significant increase in memory usage under

Windows when dynamically loading and unloading WibuCm32|64.dll multiple times was
detected.
FB79385: CodeMeter License Server: Remote Desktop sessions were not recognized on
standard Windows systems without Terminal Server in some situations.
FB79274: CodeMeter License Server: When creating a Context File multiple times in C#, a
Context File was invalid, if Context Files with larger data had been created before.
FB79791: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense: For systems running in Microsoft

Azure, the binding was not performed as expected, so it was broken after power off and
power on again. To repair, the CmActLicense must be re-bound with CodeMeter version
7.30a or newer.
FB79763: WibuCmNet: Calling 'CmSetRemoteUpdateBuffer()' did not convert the input

data correctly since version 7.30, so the execution failed.
FB79616: WibuCmNet: .NET Standard: On an ARMHF system the native library was not
found, thus no CodeMeter API calls could be made.
CodeMeter 7.30
Release Date
2021-Aug-11
Operating systems

Page: 13 of 162
Info
Installation CodeMeter under Windows 7

Beginning with version 7.30 CodeMeter does not support Windows 7.
Installation under Windows 7 is no longer possible. For the charged extended Windows 7
support version 7.21 is maintained (FB75902).
WibuCmTrigger.jar removed
The Java applet WibuCmTrigger.jar is no longer supported and has been removed from
the installers (FB72829).
New
Enhanced Docker container support

Now it is possible to run CodeMeter License Server and protected application in separate
Docker containers. The communication between the containers uses its own private
network, which must be configured in all participating containers. In the container with
CodeMeter License Server, CmCloudLicenses or CmActLicenses can be included. For
CmActLicenses, the binding has been specially adapted for Docker and hardened against
multiple uses. For the binding, the license must be created with the 'container' option and,
if applicable, the 'vm' option. Alternatively to a locally existing license, the server search list
can be configured for CodeMeter License Servers to use licenses at other CodeMeter
License Servers (FB75606).
Queries to Active Directory Server

In order to avoid queries to Active Directory servers, the auto-completion of user and
group lists is no longer performed. For the use of the auto-completion in CodeMeter
WebAdmin users can query these lists from the server via a button (FB75803).
Features:
FB78432: CodeMeter Installer: The installers for CodeMeterRuntime, CodeMeterSDK and

WibuCmNet have been adapted to display the corresponding EULAs for Japanese and
Chinese in the respective local language.
FB62326: WibuCm: Linux, macOS: On Linux and macOS, the library no longer checks for
a CodeMeter license server running in the current process space. This allows the library to
be used even in isolated environments, such as Docker.
FB73487: WibuCm: If CodeMeter License Server is installed as a service but is not

running, since version 7.20 the service can also be restarted in the user context via the
Windows Services Administration. That this also works with protected applications, the
restarting of the service from the WibuCm library was changed from a call of the
CodeMeter License Server to the use of the Windows Services Administration.
FB66681: CodeMeter License Server: For error texts via API and in the event log helpful
short texts are now also issued for high number error codes.
Page: 14 of 162
FB67819: CodeMeter License Server: macOS: Performance improvements in license

access, which is especially evident with many open handles.
FB77207: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense: For systems running in Microsoft

Azure, the binding has been adjusted so that it remains valid even after shutdown and
restart.
FB74699: CodeMeter License Server: In addition to license tracking, rejected license

accesses can now also be queried using the cmu command line tool and the '--list-
rejected-allocations' option. Via cmu, the retention of rejected license accesses must first
be activated (either generally or only for a single Firm Code), and subsequently the list of
rejected accesses can be retrieved.
FB73885: CodeMeter License Server: The WebSocket API now supports a configurable
timeout for upgrades. The default value is 300 seconds.
FB75967: CodeMeter WebAdmin: In CodeMeter WebAdmin the license transfer can now
be generally forbidden, even if the programmed license allows it.
In addition, the programmed maximum borrowing time of borrowable licenses can be
further limited globally in the profiling.
FB69672: TMR: The '--cmdust' option is now available in a customized version for TMR
servers.
Bugfixes:
FB77317: CodeMeter License Server: With the changed StationShare ID in CodeMeter

7.20, all accesses in the event log were incorrectly classified as terminal server (ts).
FB76990: CodeMeter License Server: Windows: If on the same machine a license with
StationShare is executed once as a user and once as the same user but with administrator
privileges, they now share the license again.
FB73808: CodeMeter License Server: The 'CmCheckEvents()' behavior after "Release

Event" has been corrected.
FB74720: CodeMeter License Server: On older Linux distributions (RHEL7 / CentOS7) the
detection of new CmDongles did not work anymore. A different 'udev' rule is now installed
for these operating systems.
FB74723: CodeMeter License Server: When resetting the system time, opened handles
with the specification "Maximum Life Time" were incorrectly closed automatically.
FB77393: CodeMeter License Server: The event filter for 'CmCheckEvents()' has been
corrected. It now only waits for registered events.
FB73512: CodeMeter License Server: When using 'CmCheckEvents()', problems occurred

on existing multiple threads. FB73364: CodeMeter License Server: Multiple use of event
notification in the context of a 'multithreaded' application could lead to invalid return values.
Page: 15 of 162
FB77546: CodeMeter License Server: When accessing a NameList in SingleAllocation

mode, different behavior occurred in the debug and release modes of a protected
application.
FB77297: CodeMeter License Server: Local NoUserLimit accesses were incorrectly

treated as terminal session starting with CodeMeter 7.20 on Windows Server 2019.
FB74767: CodeMeter License Server: The license tracking logs were not correct for
StationShare accesses and license transfer. Excess shares were logged for which there
were no previous accesses.
FB77875: CodeMeter License Server: In license tracking eventually BorrowIDs were

doubled and protocolled.
FB77655: CodeMeter License Server: After a restart with activated UWF writing filter
eventually CmActLicense licenses were no longer accessible.
FB70219: WibuCmNET.dll: A .NET application did not wait for the CodeMeter service to
restart.
FB74745: CodeMeter WebAdmin: An empty CmActLicense container prevented the

display of all containers in CodeMeter WebAdmin.

Info
Notice of published security vulnerabilities

For CodeMeter the two security vulnerabilities CVE-2021-20093 and CVE-2021-20094
have been reported to us by a security service provider, which have been published on
June 16th, 2021. A detailed overview of the vulnerabilities is available at
https://www.wibu.com/support/security-advisories.html.
Due to the classification of the vulnerabilities Wibu-Systems strongly recommends an
update to this version. Due to the backwards compatibility this is usually possible without
problems, but should be discussed with the manufacturer of the software licensed with
CodeMeter.
Page: 16 of 162
New
License Option Station Share

To improve the compatibility with regard to the license access StationShare of applications
running in different technologies (Native / .NET / Java) or with different library versions on
the same computer, CodeMeter License Server and CodeMeter libraries have been
extended.
With Version 7.20, a different calculation of the so-called 'StationShareId' had to be made
under Windows. This new, incompatible 'StationShareId' resulted in more than one license
being required in mixed operation. With the new version, the libraries send both the new
and the old 'StationShareId' to CodeMeter License Server. CodeMeter License Server can
then assign applications with older library versions (e.g. applications encrypted with older
CodeMeter Protection Suite Versions) to the current accesses (FB75407).
Features:
FB75798: CodeMeter Libraries: CodeMeter libraries now send their version number to
CodeMeter License Server. This makes it possible to react differently to certain versions of
a CodeMeter library at server side in the future.
Bugfixes:
FB76916: CodeMeter License Server: By sending tampered packets to CodeMeter

License Server it was possible to cause a crash or to read data from the heap memory
(CVE-2021-20093). See also Security Advisory WIBU-210423-01 at
https://www.wibu.com/de/support/security-advisories.html.
FB76917: CodeMeter License Server: By sending tampered packets via the CmWAN
protocol, it was possible to cause a crash. This was only possible, if the CmWAN protocol,
which is disabled by default, was enabled (CVE-2021-20094). See also Security Advisory
WIBU-210423-02 at https://www.wibu.com/de/support/security-advisories.html.
FB74327: CodeMeter License Server: The WibuCm library now checks the Authenticode
signature of the CodeMeter.exe from "WIBU-SYSTEMS AG" at restart on Windows. If
necessary CmAccess2 returns the error CMERROR_VERIFY_FAILED (308).

Info
User-side Named User support (FB74748)

As an alternative to storing the named user specification in the license entry itself, it is now
possible to reference an externally specified NameList there. This can be imported by the
user via the cmu command line tool. Multiple users can be specified in the NameList, even
multiple times. The position and the number of the specified named users control the
access possibilities.
Under no circumstances not more than the number of licenses defined in the license can
be used.
All three login credential types of Named User (user, user & domain name, user defined
text) are supported. The software vendor can decide whether the login credential type
information is stored in plain text or not in the CmContainer (plain, noplain) and whether
access is restricted to a single license per Named User (single allocation).
The use of the NameList requires the activation of the License Tracking. The changes to
this NameList can be tracked pseudo-anonymously via the now extended log data of the
License Tracking. A separate cmu command '--show-namelist-hashes <file>' supports the
user option to assign log entries in License Tracking to individual users via hash values.

Operating systems
Info
Support Apple processor M1

Starting with version 7.20, CodeMeter supports the new ARM-based Apple processors.
CodeMeter License Server and other applications and libraries are included as Universal
Binary, so they work regardless of processor architecture.
The binding of a CmActLicense license to the hardware properties of the Apple hardware
works in the same way on the new hardware and provides reliable binding (FB70354).
Linux and ARMv6hf processors

Starting with version 7.20 CodeMeter Linux does no longer support ARMv6hf processors
Page: 19 of 162
(FB73052). Therefore Raspberry Pis of the first generation are no longer supported
(FB73269).
License option Station Share

Station Share has been revised for Windows 10 and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
sessions.
License accesses have been reworked natively for Windows and for .NET except for
Mono, the open source implementation of the .NET Framework. Station Share for Java on
Windows is also available if the Java client uses a native interface. In other cases, the
previous procedure remains.
Station Share license access on Windows determines whether administrator privileges are
available. In this case and with some .NET runtime configurations exceptions may occur,
which are caught by CodeMeter. Then the revised Station Share mechanism is suspended
and the previous solution is used (FB64591,FB63428,FB67758).
Applications that are encrypted with the current AxProtector version will automatically work
with the new version.
Please note:
If applications encrypted with previous AxProtector versions are run on the same
CodeMeter License Server with applications encrypted with the current AxProtector
version or using the CodeMeter Core API, they do not share the same license (FB71633).
License Access Permissions (Access Control List, ACL)

In CodeMeter WebAdmin the feature to define license access rules for licenses at the
CmContainer level has been added. This allows to control license access by the user
administration by adding access rules for CmContainer serial numbers (FB68606). This
feature was also implemented for TMR (FB72088).
Cache limits for license access permissions can be set in the profiling (Windows registry or
server.ini file) using the values "UsersMaximumNumber" and "GroupsMaximumNumber"
(FB70007). A corresponding information message in the CodeMeter log about exceeding
the limits of the Active Directory (AD) now includes the actual and the configured limits
(FB71086).
Features:
FB61678: CodeMeter License Server: CodeMeter.exe: Windows: CodeMeter License

Server is now as a service, so that it can be started with user rights. The stopping of the
service still requires administrative rights.
FB71196: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense licenses on systems running

Amazon Web Services (AWS) are explicitly bound to parameters provided by that
environment. This applies to all CmActLicense licenses newly created from this version on.
FB72012: CodeMeter License Server: The WebSocketAPI can be deactivated by the user
from version 4 on. A selection of the versions to be blocked is supported. This allows a
protocol version to be specifically deactivated, e.g. in the event of security vulnerabilities
occurring in the future.

Trusted exceptions for WebSocket API communication

Version 7.10a introduced the WebSocket API with Origin verification. For this purpose, the
website must have a certificate issued by Wibu-Systems, valid for exactly this website
(Origin) and the Firm Code used. It is now possible to define websites as trusted
exceptions where this check is not performed. These exceptions are useful for demo
installations and desktop installations of CodeMeter License Central.
The trusted exceptions are entered in CodeMeter WebAdmin. The navigation
"Configuration | Advanced " was extended by the entry "Trusted WebSocket Origins"
(FB72969).
In CodeMeter License Server a WebSocket API request is first checked for the configured
trusted exceptions. If the requesting web page is included, communication is allowed for
any Firm Code. Possibly included certificates are not checked (FB72964).

Info
Notice of published security vulnerabilities
For CodeMeter several security vulnerabilities have been reported to us by a security

service provider, which have been published on September 8th, 2020. Some of the
vulnerabilities have been fixed in already released versions of CodeMeter. Further
Page: 22 of 162
improvements are included in this version. A detailed overview of the vulnerabilities is

available at https://www.wibu.com/support/security-advisories.html.
Due to the classification of the vulnerabilities Wibu-Systems strongly recommends an
update to this version. Due to the backwards compatibility this is usually possible without
problems, but should be discussed with the manufacturer of the software licensed with
CodeMeter.
Introduction of a new version of the WebSocket API with Origin Check
The WebSocket API has been enhanced with an Origin Check. Each call must be
accompanied by a certificate issued by Wibu-Systems, which confirms for the called
website that the requested WebSocket API calls are allowed for the Firm Code contained
in the certificate.
The WebSocket API with Origin Verification replaces the previous versions of the
WebSocket API without Origin Verification. The previous protocol variants without Origin
Verification are disabled by default (CVE-2020-14519).
The WebSocket API without Origin Verification can be enabled by setting the profiling
entry 'CmWebSocketAllowWithoutOriginCheck'='1'. Such activation is not recommended.
The new WebSocket API with Origin Check ignores the previously possible deactivation by
setting the profiling entry 'CmWebSocketApi'='0'. This means that it is always active, even
if the WebSocket API without Origin Verification was previously disabled using this switch
for security reasons.
Bugfixes:
FB64290: CodeMeter License Server: In the network protocol it is internally noted whether
the connection is local or remote. CodeMeter.exe now checks the content of the package
and therefore does not accept remote connections as local connections any more
FB71272: CodeMeter License Server: Due to a lack of parameter check it was possible to
bring the CodeMeter License Server to a standstill (Denial of Service (DoS)) using
specially generated TCP/IP packets. (CVE-2020-14509).
FB71354: CodeMeter License Server: A missing check of the received data volume
caused a heap overflow, which could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) or possibly remote
code execution (CVE-2020-14509).
FB71172: CodeMeter License Server: During license borrowing the licenses of contained
module items were not correctly assigned at the sender.
FB71174: CodeMeter License Server: License Tracking: Module items with an inherited
number of licenses were not correctly considered in license tracking. The license of a
module item indirectly borrowed due to inheritance is now also listed as borrowed.
FB71542: CodeMeter License Server: WibuCmNET.dll: A .NET application built or

encrypted against version 7.0 could not be started with newer versions of CodeMeter. A
corresponding policy was missing.

Info
• The programming applications and tools support the new CmDongle types
CmStick/BMC, CmStick/BMI and CmStick/B.
• In Linux installers the multiarch dependency has been removed for all CodeMeter
products (FB66183).
• In macOS installers the kernel extension is omitted and a reboot after installation is no
longer necessary (FB41914).
• Starting from this version the macOS installers no longer include support for 32-bit
applications (FB64739).
New
Certified Time and HTTPS protocol

The Certified Time can now be retrieved from CodeMeter Time Servers in a secured way
by using the HTTPS protocol. You can set the preference of the default protocol to be
used (HTTP or HTTPS). In the case of unavailability, the alternative protocol to the default
one is used first, and if necessary the CodeMeter Time Server name list is run through
(fallback) (FB69358, 70275, 70274).
The time server entries can now also be managed via the command line tool cmu (new
options for displaying, adding, deleting entries) (FB70276).
URL-specific evaluation of proxy settings when using system settings
The use of a system proxy in CodeMeter for network connections (HTTP and HTTPS) in
the context of different functionalities or services (time server update, field update, cloud
connection and CmWAN) was revised for Windows and macOS, so that the general
system behavior is mapped. Proxy settings are evaluated URL-specific. For Linux systems
the environment variable "http_proxy" is used as system proxy (FB69737).
Improved handling of station share accesses
The improved handling of station share accesses prevents unnecessary duplication of
licenses. When a license is allocated by local or network accesses, the system first checks
whether a license to be shared is already allocated. If necessary, this license is reassigned
independently of the defined assignment sequence (FB63866).
Export of license access permissions (Access Control List) in Advanced Mode
Under Windows the license access permissions (Access Control List) can be exported and
imported as json files ("--import-acl", "--export-acl") (FB69946) with the corresponding cmu
commands.

Info
Discontinuation:
Internet Explorer 8 support for CodeMeter WebAdmin is discontinued (FB63084).
Page: 33 of 162
New
Changes in Network Communication Settings

During the installation under Windows you can now decide whether CodeMeter License
Server is to be set up as a server in a network environment and the corresponding TCP
port 22350 is to be registered in the Windows firewall. By default, CodeMeter License
Server is only available locally (localhost) (CVE-2020-14517).
When installing CodeMeter under Windows, an automatic search of network servers is set
as default. This is implemented by a broadcast via UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and the
registering of the associated UDP port 22350 for communication in the Windows firewall.
A fundamental change to these settings is possible via a change installation. A change
during operation via CodeMeter WebAdmin requires a restart of the CmWebAdmin service
or the entire system. This does not affect the necessity to configure the corresponding
firewall settings yourself (FB35653).
Remote read access to CodeMeter WebAdmin is prohibited by default during a new
installation (FB63646).
When installing under Windows, CodeMeter WebAdmin will no longer be enabled for ports
(22352, 22353). If access to CodeMeter WebAdmin from other computers is to be
permitted, the ports in the firewall must be configured by yourself.
Changed behavior of CmActLicense in Container (e.g. Docker)
Depending on the binding schemes and binding options used, only certain licenses are
loaded into the container (FB63236).
Hardware form factors CmStick/MC and CmStick/MI
The new form factors are supported and display in the corresponding applications
(FB64266).
Features:
FB63166: CodeMeter Installer: Windows: In the case of a direct update from CodeMeter
Version before 6.40, profiling values set by previous installers are no longer transferred

FB62807: CodeMeter License Server: When blocking licenses due to EWF (Enhanced
Write Filter) rules, license information is issued.
FB61871: CodeMeter License Server: The function

'CmCheckEvents(CM_CE_RELEASE_EVENT)' is now also available under Windows. This

on privacy and safety requirements, the identification information can be saved as
plaintext with the PIO (FB40855).
• The binding schema 'BindingExtension' for CmActLicense is now also supported by
Universal Firm Code licenses. In addition, a single plug-in serves different connected
devices. An improved 'CmRevalidateBox' function features no reload of intact licenses,

Release Date
2016-Jan-29
Operating System
Info
Starting with Version 6.00 the license transfer feature has been introduced. The license
transfer features the transfer of licenses form one CmContainer to another CmContainer.

• the CmContainer Type "CmActLicense"
• the Transfer Types:
o "Licenses" (moving 'n' from 'm' licenses)
o "Borrow Local License"
• the Tansfer Modes:
o Push - a license is transferred from a sending CmContainer to a receiving
CmContainer.
o Return – a previously transferred license is returned from the receiving
CmContainer to the sending CmContainer.
Starting with CodeMeter Version 6.10 Mac OS X 10.7 and smaller versions are no longer
supported (FB36682).

Advanced License Access to CodeMeter Network Server

Setting access rules with global and /or entry-specific reach (Firm Code, Product Code)
allows to define or reserve license access for single computer, staff members but also for
separate active directory groups (FB3728, 24797).
Secure License Tracking
Log file data on license accesses is now written manipulation-safe. Manipulation is
prevented by authenticated check of data integrity using signatures (FB25171).
Reducing client-sided borrowing period on license borrowing using CmBorrow
On license borrowing a reduced borrowing period in minutes can be specified. However, it
is not to exceed the maximium borrowing time defined at the server (FB3423).
SmartBind improvements
The patented binding procedures has been improved. On firmware update the binding
stays intact (FB27590). The protection preventing cloning under Windows has been
extended (FB28480). The license behavior on copying or moving virtual machines on
Linus has been adapted to the behavior on Windows (FB26111). SmartBind handling for

WebSockets: additional communication type between CodeMeter and web based

applications
The communication between browser components and CodeMeter can additionally to
ActiveX (Windows), Java (Windows, Mac OS, Linux), and Firefox plugins (Windows, Mac
OS, Linux) performed by the bidirectional, TCP based WebSocket protocol. The
WebSocket API only provides functions involving remote updating (FB24176).
CmActLicenses now also with Certified Time
On programming a CmActLicense initially its Certified Time is set. The source is the
Certified Time of the programming Firm Security Box (FSB). If this time should deviate
more than 24 hours of the system time (CmDongle), a Certified Time update of the FSB is
performed. If required, setting a separate option may prevent this update process
(FB19106).
License Tracking display in CodeMeter WebAdmin
After configuration a detailed analysis of how network licenses have been used at runtime
can be displayed by a separate navigation menu item (FB23446).
Accesses to the FirmSecurity Box (FSB) with CodeMeter Runtime
A fully installed CodeMeter Software Development Kit (SDK) is no longer required for
accesses to the FSB. For example, a lean installation of CodeMeter as FSB server in a

CodeMeter 4.40
Release Date
2011-Dec-20
Operating Systems
Info
For Mac OS X the Version 10.5 is defined as minimum version. At the same time, support
for PowerPC (PPC) hardware is stopped. For Mac OS 10.4 and/or PPC hardware you can
use CodeMeter Version 4.30d (FB15184).
News
CodeMeter masters Internet protocol IPv6

Immediately starting, the Internet protocol IPv6 can be used for the communication
between CodeMeter components. In the default configuration CodeMeter selects from the
existing protocols the optimal protocol.
By editing the registry entry 'ApiCommunicationMode' IPv6 (0x08) can be used next and
simultaneously to the communication modes IPv4 (0x04) and SharedMemory (0x02). The
default value (0x01) currently uses IPv4 and SharedMemory (corresponds to 0x06); the
value 0x0E activates all three communication modes at the same time (FB16317).
For Windows in this version the restriction holds that for using IPv6 the servers must be
configured in the server search list. Currently, multicast (automatic server search) is not
supported.
Depending on the configuration, all communication modes can be used in parallel
(FB4113).

CodeMeter 4.30
Release Date
2011-April-20
Operating Systems
Info
Support of Windows 2000 is discontinued
With the present release the support of Windows 2000 is discontinued. The final supported
CodeMeter Version for Windows 2000 is Version 4.20d. The single AxProtector variants
continue to encrypt executables capable to start on Windows 2000, however, at the same
time, this requires a CodeMeter Runtime Version 4.20d or older.
News
CodeMeter is compatible with Windows 7, and meets the Windows 7 Client Software Logo
Program requirements.
Introducing the new PIO Maintenance Period

With the Maintenance Period an absolute time-span can be stored in the CmStick. Then
the use of a license is limited to software versions which have been created, i.e. released,
within this period. The new PIO has been introduced for the hardware and upgraded for all
CodeMeter tools and applications. Requires CodeMeter Firmware version 1.18 or higher.
Changes in the feature Enabling

Now temporary enabling also works for Enabling Blocks not located at the Implicit Firm
Item (IFI) level. CodeMeter Firmware 1.18 or newer is required.
Page: 99 of 162
With CodeMeter Firmware 1.18 or newer, by default, the 'Required Flag' is set when
attaching an Enabling Block to a Lookup Table entry.
If at least one 'Required Flag' is set when several attachment targets exist, a logic AND
conjunction defines that all settings of attachments having a 'Required Flag' must match
before a defined operation is allowed to access a complete CmStick, a license container,
or a license entry.
Restructuring of locations of important CodeMeter files

An efficient restructuring of file locations has been performed for the operating systems
Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. This to prevent unintentional deleting of important
CodeMeter files when performing a new or an update installation.
After an update on Windows the directories "Log" and "Backup" are moved from
„%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CodeMeter“ into the new hidden directory
"%ProgramData%\CodeMeter"; the CmFirm.wbc file is moved to
"%ProgramData%\CodeMeter\DevKit".
On Mac OS X the directories "Log", "Backup", and "CmAct" are moved to the directory
"library/Application.Support/CodeMeter". Previously they located in the directory
"Applications/CodeMeter.app/".
On Linux the directories "backups", "CodeMeter", and "CodeMeterAct" were restructured

and move to the directory "/var/lib/CodeMeter". Previously they located in the directory
"/var/backups/". The CmFirm.wbc file is moved from "/usr/share/CodeMeter/" to
"/etc/wibu/CodeMeter/".
CodeMeter SmartBind
The new CodeMeterAct binding scheme "CodeMeter SmartBind" optimizes assuring the
validity of CodeMeterAct licenses, in the case of changing hardware properties of the PC
to which the licenses are bound. Wibu-Systems recommends to use this option to handle
the allowed variation between the initial hardware configuration of the PC when the license
was activated the first time and the current configuration.
Licensing change of the CodeMeterAct binding scheme 'None'

Using CodeMeterAct without binding to the PC (binding scheme 'None') is now linked to a
new entry in the Firm Security Box (FSB). For the licensed use of this option, please
contact Wibu-Systems Sales.
New hardware form factors CmStick/C and CmStick/T

The new compact CmStick/C and the CmStick/T with battery-buffered clock are
supported..

Restructuring of locations of important CodeMeter files

Page: 139 of 162
An efficient restructuring of file locations has been performed for the operating systems
Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. This to prevent unintentional deleting of important
CodeMeter files when performing a new or an update installation.
After an update on Windows the directories "Log" and "Backup" are moved from
„%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CodeMeter“ into the new hidden directory
"%ProgramData%\CodeMeter"; the CmFirm.wbc file is moved to
"%ProgramData%\CodeMeter\DevKit".
On Mac OS X the directories "Log", "Backup", and "CmAct" are moved to the directory
"library/Application.Support/CodeMeter". Previously they located in the directory
"Applications/CodeMeter.app/".
On Linux the directories "backups", "CodeMeter", and "CodeMeterAct" were restructured

and move to the directory "/var/lib/CodeMeter". Previously they located in the directory
"/var/backups/". The CmFirm.wbc file is moved from "/usr/share/CodeMeter/" to
"/etc/wibu/CodeMeter/".
