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 importing of license request and update files (Context Files and Update Files, *.WibuRaC and *.WibuRaU).
Call cmu in the directory %\Program Files%\CodeMeter\Runtime\bin using the command cmu[32].exe.
Alternatively, on Windows call cmu by the start menu item "Start | All Programs | CodeMeter | Tools | CodeMeter Command Prompt". |
|
Press "Windows" key to open Start screen | Type "CodeMeter Command Prompt" | Press "Enter" key. |
For the operating systems macOS and
Linux this command is provided by the usual search path parameter.
The following list shows all existing cmu commands.

--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. |
