Creation of highly targeted licenses, user profiles, and entitlement rights to view, edit, copy, export, and protect critical code, e.g.State-of-the-art cryptography and secure hardware elements that provide strong encryption and secure key storage for source code and programs running on the controllers.In essence, License-based Protection offers Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) the technology to manage the IP rights of developers, startup and maintenance engineers, and end users in the most granular and versatile way through:

The flexibility of the Web Portal also allows for managing licenses for specific machines, routines, and AOIs and using the Recipient Type functionality to pre-define user profiles. The copy protection prevents the unauthorized shifting of programs in between controllers. Execution Protection – Protecting Runtime in ControllersĪpplication code programs for the Allen-Bradley ® ControlLogix 5580, CompactLogix 5380, and CompactLogix 5480 programmable controllers from Rockwell Automation are set to run only when a CodeMeter-powered secured SD card (CmCard/SD) with a license obtained from the Web Portal is present in the controller.Routines, Ladder, Structured Text, and Add-On Instructions (AOIs) in all languages are supported. Developers can decide in the Studio 5000 environment which parts of the source code need to be protected with which licenses and therefore which users provided with an authorized CodeMeter hardware secure element can view or modify protected contents. Source Protection – Protecting Sensitive CodeĬodeMeter-powered Rockwell Software Studio 5000 design and configuration environment from Rockwell Automation encrypts sensitive source code.License-based Protection consists of the following components: CodeMeter with a SAP back office solution.SAP Entitlement Management and CodeMeter.
