Using WiBu Licensing of Graphic Hub version 3.1.0 on physical machines or virtual environments

Graphic Hubs can be licensed with a special WiBu License. The required WiBu Runtime Software (CodeMeter Runtime 6.60a) comes with the Graphic Hub Bundle installer and is mandatory for the modes Multiuser, Main and Replication.

If a WiBu License is found and bound it sticks to this license container and can only be changed by a restart of the Graphic Hub. The same applies for switching to the Sentinel dongle, which also can only be done by restarting the Graphic Hub.

License expiration messages are logged to the Graphic Hub Journal as usual (alerts, expiration warning 30 days prior to expiration and if license is expired or invalid). The WiBu license information (license id, license server, container id) is logged to the Graphic Hub log file upon status changes and the Graphic Hub WiBu license application ID is 1300000.

1. Setup a WiBu license container as described in the Vizrt Licensing Guide in the Vizrt documentation center.

2. Install the Graphic Hub with the CodeMeter Runtime.

3. Choose the WIBU system and the appropriate location of the license container in GH Terminal Configuration → ADVANCED SETTINGS → License Settings.
