State-of-the-Art CodeMeter Protection for Machine Vision Software
POSTED 07/06/2023
The Challenge
As a leading international manufacturer of software for machine vision used in all demanding areas of imaging, MVTec Software GmbH has been serving the world at one of the key nexuses of the new industrial age: the place where the physical and the digital meet. Its comprehensive standard software for machine vision, HALCON, has been complemented by MERLIC, an all-in-one software product for quickly building machine vision applications without programming. To equip its product portfolio with equally sophisticated licensing and protection capabilities, MVTec needed a solution provider that was as versatile as the users and applications of its own technology.
The Solution
MVTec chose to collaborate with Wibu-Systems in order to extend the already appliedlicensingopportunities in an evolutionary way. With MERLIC already fully CodeMeter-protected and licensed from its initial launch, HALCON migrated to theCodeMetersystem with a minimal impact on existing customers. The initial migration also opened up new opportunities to MVTec, e.g. for the new MVTec on Campus program.
The Success
CodeMeter is designed with flexibility in mind, supporting a comprehensive range of architectures, operating systems, and industrial environments. For MVTec, this means a licensing system that fits perfectly with the many possible applications and use cases of its machine vision software, and the ease of having all its licensing andmonetizationoperations in one central, cloud-facilitated, and effectively and easily managed place.
