How to activate a CodeMeterAct license

CodeMeter Act licenses are a kind of "virtual" CmSticks, that means no additional CodeMeter hardware is needed.
Normaly a CodeMeterAct license is bind to the hardware of the used PC, so keep in mind to activate the CodeMeterAct license exatly on the PC which you want to use with protected application!

The software vendor will provide you a preactivated CodeMeterAct license (WBB file).

In case that the file isn't registered automatically on the CodeMeter Runtime Server, just drag the file via "drag and drop" into the CodeMeter Control Center.
