Profiling - CodeMeter License Server settings

The settings with which CodeMeter License Server is used are based on so-called 'profiling'. For Windows these settings are stored in the Windows registry, for macOS and Linux *.ini files contain this information.

win8_logo Registry (Windows registry database)

Please note that extensive problems might occur, if you modify the registry incorrectly. Thus, make sure that you change values very carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry, if a problem occurs.

All settings for the administration of the system and all integrated system services and processes are stored here. Many application programs, such as the Wibu-Systems software, also store their settings here.

In order to check or edit registry entries, please proceed as follows:

1.Open Registry Editor.

In the search box on the task bar, type regedit. Then, select the top result for Registry Editor (Desktop app).
Alternatively, press and hold or right-click the Start button, then select Run. Enter regedit in the Open: box and select OK.

2.Advance to the node [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WIBU-SYSTEMS\CodeMeter\Server\...].

The following values and data types exist:

REG_DWORD: a binary data type in which 32-bit integer values are stored as 4-byte hexadecimal values.

REG_SZ: a string of Unicode characters. For names, descriptions, system paths, etc.

You can also create a local Windows CodeMeter.ini file holding the stored settings from the registry.

However, be aware that as soon as CodeMeter License Server starts, it checks if a CodeMeter.ini file exists. If there is a CodeMeter.ini file, all default information from the registry is stored there. From this moment on, CodeMeter License Server then will use only the information stored in CodeMeter.ini.

For creating the CodeMeter.ini file, please proceed as follows:

1.Create an empty file named CodeMeter.ini in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeMeter\Runtime\bin.

2.Stop and start the CodeMeter service in CodeMeter Control Center using the "Action | ..." navigation items.
The CodeMeter.ini file is completed.
