Country-specific Licenses
CodeMeter licenses can now be issued on a country-specific basis. The software manufacturer can use a positive or negative list to specify that licenses are not available in certain countries. The location of the license or the license server itself is relevant here. This allows export restrictions to be enforced or markets to be separated, for example.

Features:
FB85056: CodeMeter License Server: CmWAN: When accessing a license via CmWAN with CmAccess2(), the dedicated server can now be specified without the associated login data. If no login data is provided with the call, CodeMeter License Server uses the login data stored in the server search list.

FB93606: CodeMeter License Server: The references to OpenSource licenses are no longer explicitly listed in the documentation. Instead, the OpenSource document is installed as a single document during installation. The documentation contains references to the storage locations. The current OpenSource document is also available on the website.

FB90810: CodeMeter License Server: The license tracking log files are now compressed in zip format during the configurable rotation of the log files. The compression can be deactivated via a profiling switch if required. CodeMeter WebAdmin and CmBoxPgm can now read and process both compressed and uncompressed files.

FB78836: CodeMeter License Server: CmCloud: A CodeMeter license server running as an application with user rights can now use CmCloudContainer. The credentials of the CmCloudContainer can be temporarily imported using cmu, for example, and the imported CmCloudContainer is then available until CodeMeter license server is terminated. This means that CmCloudContainers can be used with normal user rights, e.g. in container environments, such as Kubernetes.

Bugfixes:
FB95593: CodeMeter Installer: Windows: Following the switch to 64-bit installation programs from version 8.00, the entry for the installed CodeMeter Runtime version in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ WIBU-SYSTEMS\CodeMeter\RuntimeVersion) was no longer written. This is now also written again for 64-bit installation programs and thus enables the installed version to be recognized by other (installation) programs.

FB95134: CodeMeter Runtime Installer: Windows: During the update installation or uninstallation of CodeMeter Runtime, you may be prompted to close Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer is then closed via the Microsoft installer mechanism. After the end of the installation process, Windows Explorer is often not restarted successfully.

FB92999: CodeMeter Installation: Linux: The detection and warning due to missing support of the CPU of SSE4 was faulty and also displayed this warning on some systems with SSE4.

FB93017: CodeMeter License Server: On some systems, CodeMeter terminated immediately after starting. This was caused by checks for the use of typical debugger functions. However, as these functions can also be used legitimately, the detection in CodeMeter has been adapted.

FB92926: CodeMeter License Server: Windows: In individual cases, the DNS name could not be resolved quickly enough on the client, which resulted in incorrect handling during the access control.

FB81239: CodeMeter License Server: If the system time on a system is set to a date before 1.1.2000, a crash occurred when a Context File was created.

FB93640: CodeMeter License Server: CmActLicense: When reprogramming user data to empty user data, these were not changed for Universal Firm Code, i.e. the content was not deleted. This is now possible again.

FB95759: CodeMeter License Server: The query via CodeMeter core API, e.g. with CmGetInfo(), only returned the start of the Usage Period with a delay.

FB88570: CodeMeter License Server: Linux clients with domain identifiers were not resolved correctly during the list check of License Access Permissions. The determined user information is now correctly distributed to the internal fields on the Linux client. In addition, there is a mechanism on the server side that corrects any incorrect user information that arrives there. This means that it is usually sufficient to update CodeMeter on the server in order to perform the check correctly.

FB82071: CodeMeter License Server: Windows: The use of group access control rules in Active Directory Forest is now supported under Windows. For this purpose, the required user information is transferred from CodeMeter on the network client to the CodeMeter license server on the network server. The queries required for the check are then sent to the Active Directory on the network server. This allows users to access software whose group is not directly managed by the Active Directory controller responsible for this server. both the client and the server must be updated to version 8.10 in order to use this functionality.

FB96036: CodeMeter License Server: When borrowing a Product Item with Module Item, a NameList was required for the license provided by the Module Item when using the Named User NameList access control. The borrowed Module Item license now works like the Product Item without NameList.

FB95726: CodeMeter License Server: macOS: The discontinued Preference Pane was not uninstalled during an update installation.

FB90688: CodeMeter WibuCmNET.dll: If special characters were contained in a file name specification for remote activation, characters were cut off at the end. Now the complete file name is retained again.

FB95656: CodeMeter Control Center: In the remote activation wizard (CodeMeter Field Activation Assistant, CmFAS), some text appeared in English due to a technical localization error in the Japanese localization.

FB94751: CodeMeter WebAdmin: Under Windows, the default setting for communication between the CodeMeter library and CodeMeter License Server, which was changed in version 8.00, was not adjusted in CodeMeter WebAdmin. The setting for these communication properties displayed in the "Settings | Extras" area has now been adjusted so that the shared memory, which is no longer activated by default, is no longer checked.

FB94928: CodeMeter WebAdmin: CodeMeter WebAdmin could no longer display an evaluation of the license tracking data.

FB90688: CodeMeter WibuCmNET.dll: If special characters were contained in a file name specification for remote activation, characters were cut off at the end. Now the complete file name is retained again.
