In today's fast-paced digital era, where industries globally are evolving through rapid digital transformation and digital assets form the core of industrial innovation, ensuring software integrity, safeguarding intellectual property, and enabling software monetization through sophisticated and adaptable software license management systems are of utmost importance. In the realm of IoT devices and PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), memory cards frequently serve as an essential component of the infrastructure. Recognizing this, we've chosen to expand upon this foundation by enhancing an already crucial element in practical scenarios with additional functionalities. This strategic extension aims to not only fulfill a fundamental requirement but also to elevate the utility and performance of these devices by integrating advanced features into the existing framework. Join us for a webinar that showcases the groundbreaking collaboration between Swissbit and Wibu-Systems, introducing CmReady – a revolutionary solution at the nexus of state-of-the-art technologies designed to meet these critical needs. What is CmReady? CmReady revolutionizes software protection and licensing by enabling the binding of a CmActLicense – a software license container – to a certified CmReady memory device in the form factor of an SD or microSD card, rather than tethering it exclusively to the target device running the protected software. This innovative approach grants unparalleled mobility to CmActLicenses, equating their portability with that of traditional dongles, yet with the added convenience and flexibility of removable memory devices. Why CmReady? Industrial memory cards, integral to manufacturers for specific project needs, already populate the field in diverse capacities and features. Recognizing the necessity to enhance these deployed units for increased sustainability, CmReady emerges as a groundbreaking solution. It not only upgrades existing memory cards with new functionalities but also transforms them into secure anchors for IP protection and software licensing. This innovative approach ensures that existing infrastructure can adapt to evolving security demands without the need for complete replacement, representing a leap forward in sustainable technological advancement. All the Benefits of CmReady in a Nutshell With CmReady, industrial customers gain access to a plethora of benefits: Portable licenses bound to CmReady memory cards Effortless activation and renewal processes Seamless compatibility with CodeMeter Runtime starting from release 8.00 and CodeMeter Embedded starting from release 3.00 Plug and Play functionality, eliminating implementation hassle Enhanced data protection and integrity features, safeguarding against piracy and unauthorized access
