CMU - CodeMeter® Universal Support Tool

You have also the option to alternatively execute some CodeMeter Control Center functions by the commandline based CodeMeter Universal Support Tool (cmu).

cmu supports you in:

listing of CmContainer contents

creating a simple test environment for CmContainer

executing  a certified time update, and creating and import of license request and update files (Remote Context and Update files, *.WibuRaC; *.WibuRaU)

Call cmu in the directory %\Program Files%\CodeMeter\Runtime\bin using the command cmu[32].exe.

Alternatively, on Windows call cmu by the system menu item "Start | All Programs | CodeMeter | Tools | CodeMeter Command Prompt".

For the operating systems Mac OS, Linux and Sun this command is provided by the usual search path parameter.

The following list shows all existing cmu commands.

Command

Description

/h or --help

shows this help in the commandline window.

/v or --version

shows the versions of all available CodeMeter® components.

/l or--list

lists all connected CmContainer by way of their serial numbers.

/x or --list-content

lists the contents of all connected CmContainer.

/k or --list-server

lists all available network license server.

/n or –-list-network

list the complete network license information.

/c <FI> or --context <FI>

creates a license request for an license update via CmFAS creates a license request for an license update via Firm Item <FI>.

Using option --file specifies the output file. If no option is set the standard output is used (stdout).

/i or --import

imports a license update file received via CmFAS  for the available CodeMeter® license.

Using option --file specifies the file name. The update can cover a CmDongle or a CmActLicense license file.

/d or --firmware-update

starts the firmware update of a CmContainer.

/u or --time-update

starts the update of the Certified Time in each connected CmContainer.

/e <s> or --enable <s>

allows the activation or deactivation of the selected CmContainer. Specifying the CodeMeter® password is required.

The required new Enabling status  is specified by the parameter <s>. Parameter values cover 1 (disable), 2 (temporary enable), 3 (enable)..

/t <no> or --test<no>

starts some simple tests for each connected CmContainer. The number of tests is specified by parameter <no>.

It is required that the CmContainer must be (temporarily) enabled.

/vv or --cmdust

creates a CmDust report. This report is useful and required when requesting support. Wibu-Systems recommends to create a CmDust report before contacting the support.

Using the option --file writes the result into a text file.

--borrow

allows the borrowing of licenses from a license server to the local PC. You have to specify the Firm Code and the Product Code of the license using the options --firmcode and --productcode. As an additional option you may specify the Feature Map using the option --featuremap. Moreover, you have to specify the serial number of the client CmContainer and the server name using the options --serial and --server.

--return

returns the borrowed license to the license server. You have to specify the Firm Code and the Product Code of the license using the options --firmcode and --productcode and the serial number of the client CmContainer and the server name using the options --serial and --server.

--borrowlist

lists the borrowed licenses for the client and the server.

--enabling

lists the enabling stati of all connected CmContainer.

Combined with the command –x you can also display additional enabling information of the CmContainer content.

--create-io

is used in combination with the option --file and makes sense only when using the hardware form factors CmCard/SD or CmCard/CF. A new codemtr.io file is created.

Please call this command only if the codemtr.io file is deleted.

--detect-proxy

detects the proxy settings of the system. When options are omitted the standard output is used (stdout). The option --write saves the settings using the CodeMeter® profiling.

--delete-cmact-license

deletes a CmActLicense license you specify using the command --serial.
