Update of the CodeMeter Runtime Kit
With the introduction of PTV Visum 14 and PTV Vissim 7 respectively, we have introduced
a new version of the CodeMeter Runtime Kit. The software now requires version 5.10c of
the Runtime Kit.
2.1
Which version is in use?
To find out the currently used version of the Runtime Kit, use one of the following options:
1. Make a right click on the CodeMeter symbol in Windows’s system tray in the lower
right corner of the screen. Select the entry “About” of the context menu. The following dialog shows the version number of the currently used Runtime Kit.
2. Open up the CodeMeter Control Center from the start menu:
Start -> Programs -> CodeMeter -> CodeMeter Control Center
In the menu “Help” chose the entry “About”. The following dialog shows the version
number of the currently used Runtime Kit.
3. Open up the CodeMeter WebAdmin, e.g. from the CodeMeter Control Center, Button “WebAdmin” in the lower right corner or from the CodeMeter symbol in Windows’s system tray in the lower right corner of the screen. Make a right click on it
and select WebAdmin. In the “Home” section of the WebAdmin, the Server version
will be displayed.
4. Create a so called CmDust report, see chapter 7.1 and send it to the Traffic Customer Service: [email protected]
2.2
How to update the CodeMeter Runtime Kit?
The latest version of the CodeMeter Runtime Kit can be retrieved from the webpage of the
manufacturer WIBU SYSTEMS AG under http://www.codemeter.com
In the “Downloads” section, the manufacturer provides the latest installers of the Runtime
Kit for free. There are installers for Windows, 32bit and 64bit operating system, Linux and
Mac OS X. Linux and Mac OS X can only be used for dongle servers.
The choice of 32bit or 64bit depends on the operating system and not on the edition of the
Vision Traffic software.
After the installation of a new version of the Runtime Kit, it is required to reboot the computer.
We do not recommend to use the latest version of the CodeMeter Runtime Kit. Instead, we
strongly recommend the use of version 5.10c of the Runtime Kit. You can download it from
our web server.

Set up CodeMeter as dongle server
3
In this chapter, we would like to inform you of the requirements to run your CodeMeter
dongle as a server dongle within your network.
3.1
Conditions
The CodeMeter dongle requires the software ‘CodeMeter Runtime Kit’, which is available
on the web site of CodeMeter1. The ‘CodeMeter Runtime Kit’ software is available for 32bit
and 64bit architectures. Usually, this software will be installed during the default Vision
Traffic software setup process.
During the default installation of a Vision Traffic product, a “CodeMeter” start menu entry
will be created. The corresponding software is started each time you start up your Microsoft
Windows operating system. The CodeMeter software can be identified through a small icon
in the Windows status bar, on bottom right of the desktop.
The corresponding CodeMeter software is independent of the Vision Traffic software and
can be installed on any computer (see chapter 3.2).
The computer which shall serve as a dongle server must have an USB interface and a Microsoft Windows operating system installed. It is not possible to virtualize the server!
Usually, an operating system uses a so-called firewall to protect itself. It permits or denies
network access according to certain rules. If a firewall is active on your PC (this is by default the case for Microsoft Windows XP and other operating systems), you have to check
whether or not it permits incoming and outgoing access on port 22350 for all clients on
which the Vision Traffic software will be run.
Please note: it is a security issue to permit network access. If you are not sure what to do,
please contact the administrator of the firewall or an IT specialist.
3.2
Setting up the corresponding CodeMeter software
The ‘CodeMeter Runtime Kit’ which is required for use of the CodeMeter dongle is usually
installed during the Vision Traffic software setup process.
If you wish to run the CodeMeter dongle on another computer, where the Vision Traffic
software is not installed (e.g. a server), simply install the corresponding CodeMeter software manually. This software is independent from the use of any Vision Traffic software.
Just navigate to the directory Installers\win32x64\wibu on the installation DVD included in
your delivery. Start the setup of the software by a double-click. Alternatively, visit the web
site of the manufacturer 1 and download the corresponding version of the software. Double-click the CodeMeterRuntime.exe file to start the installation process.. Then click the
1
www.codemeter.com
5
“Next” button.
Independent on how much CodeMeter dongles will be plugged to the server, the software
has to be installed just once.
Figure 1:
CodeMeter setup process, dialog 1
Figure 2:
Please accept the license agreement shown in Figure 2. Then click the “Next” button again.

Figure 3:
In the window shown in Figure 3, please enter your name and the name of your organization. You can choose to install the software for an individual or anyone using the machine.
It is recommended to choose the option for anyone. Then, click the “Next” button again.
Figure 4:
In the window shown in Figure 4, please confirm the settings. Then click the “Next” button.
The installation process may take a couple of minutes.

Figure 5:
If the CodeMeter software is successfully installed, another window is opened (see Figure
5). After you click the “Finish” button, you might be asked to restart your computer.
3.3
Starting the CodeMeter server
After you have successfully installed the CodeMeter software and restarted your computer,
a new grey symbol
will appear in the Windows status bar, on the bottom right of the
desktop. This means the software has been started, but has not yet found a valid CodeMeter dongle. As soon as you plug in the CodeMeter dongle, the corresponding software
will recognize it and the status of the symbol changes to .
By default, the CodeMeter software will not be set up for a server. Servers which are not
configured reduce the performance of your computer network!
To set up the dongle server, right-click the “CodeMeter” symbol on the status bar, on the
bottom right of the desktop. A context menu will be shown. Choose the “WebAdmin” entry
(see Figure 6).
Figure 6:
CodeMeter context menu, WebAdmin“
This opens the web browser (for Windows XP, this is Internet Explorer by default). The web
site as shown in Figure 7 is displayed.
8
Figure 7:
CodeMeter WebAdmin
Please take note of the URL of the browser shown in Figure 7. The name “localhost” determines the computer itself on which you have opened the browser window. The number
“22350” specifies the network port which must be accessible (see chapter 3.3).
In order to be able to use the CodeMeter WebAdmin properly, your browser must accept
JavaScript.
By using the WebAdmin user interface, the CodeMeter server can be configured remotely
with the following URL:
http://<name_or_IP_addresse_of_the_server>:22350/Configuration.html
Please replace <name or IP address of the server> by the name or IP address of the server. If necessary, ask your local network administrator.
As you can see in Figure 8, the server is not started yet because the checkbox “Run Network Server” is not activated. To activate the server next time the CodeMeter software is
started, please select the checkbox as marked in Figure 8. To apply the changes, click the
“Apply” button.
9
Figure 8:
CodeMeter WebAdmin, configuration network
Now, the dongle server will be started the next time the CodeMeter software is started.
To activate the changes now, restart the CodeMeter software. The simplest way to restart it
is to open the CodeMeter control center. Please right-click the “CodeMeter” symbol again,
on the status bar on the bottom right of the desktop.
Figure 9:
CodeMeter context menu: “Show”
A context menu will be displayed (see Figure 9). Click “Show” to open the CodeMeter Control Center.
10
Figure 10:
CodeMeter Control Center, stop service
To stop the CodeMeter software, choose “Process” on the menu bar, then select “Stop
CodeMeter Service” (see Figure 10). All buttons in the control center disappear. The
“CodeMeter” symbol on the status bar changes its color to grey. The software is now
stopped, which can be seen in the status bar on the bottom right of the CodeMeter control
center (see Figure 11).
Figure 11:
CodeMeter control center, service stopped
To start the CodeMeter software again, click “Process”. Select the entry “Start CodeMeter
Service”, (see Figure 12)

CodeMeter server
This chapter describes the requirements for use of your CodeMeter dongle as a dongle
server in your network.
4.1
Conditions
As described in chapter 3.3, the CodeMeter server has to be started and must be accessible via your computer network.
You can check the accessibility of the server by typing the following URL in your web
browser (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer):
http://<name_or_IP_addresse_of_the_server>:22350/Configuration.html
Please replace <name or IP address of the server> by the name or IP address of that PC,
which will act as a CodeMeter dongle server. Contact your administrator in order to find out
the name or IP address.
If the CodeMeter WebAdmin window is displayed (see Figure 7), the accessibility check
was successful!
4.2
Connecting one CodeMeter dongle
The CodeMeter dongle provides a built-in Flash memory. Usually, Microsoft Windows operating systems recognize it as a mass storage device and assign a new disc drive letter.
In some cases this leads to the start of the Microsoft Windows AutoPlay functionality. Then,
the following dialog is displayed, (see Figure 14).
Figure 14:
Microsoft Windows, “Autoplay”
Please do not cancel this process.
4.3
Connecting several CodeMeter dongles
It is possible to plug in several CodeMeter dongles to one server. This is necessary when
different Vision Traffic software configurations are in use (e.g. two versions of PTV Visum
with different network sizes). For several CodeMeter dongles the small icon on the bottom
right of the window will change its status into
.
13
CodeMeter server
If more than one dongle is plugged into the server, make sure that you have selected the
correct dongle (see Figure 15),.
Figure 15:
4.4
CodeMeter control center , selection of dongle serial number
Starting the Vision Traffic software
Now you can start your Vision Traffic software. If there is only one CodeMeter server in
your network, the software is immediately started and you can begin your work.
If there is more than one CodeMeter dongle server, it may occur that the Vision Traffic
software cannot find a valid dongle. In this case, the following error message is displayed
(see Figure 16).
Figure 16:
Dongle not found
In order to specify which CodeMeter dongle server has to be used, change the following
settings in the CodeMeter WebAdmin application of the PC on which you want to use the
Vision Traffic software.
It has to be specified, where the CodeMeter software has to search for a valid CodeMeter
dongle. Click the “add” button (see Figure 17).
14
CodeMeter server
Figure 17:
WebAdmin, Setup Server Search List
A new dialog is displayed. Enter an IP address or server name (see Figure 18). Please
enter a valid IP address or the server name of the PC that shall act as your CodeMeter
dongle server. Note that the CodeMeter dongle has to be plugged into that PC.
Figure 18:
WebAdmin, enter IP address
Click the “OK” button to confirm your entry. Then, click “Apply” to activate your changes to
the server search list. Please note that too many IP addresses in the server search list reduce the performance of the CodeMeter software and may prevent the start of your Vision
Traffic software.
15
CodeMeter server
Figure 19:
WebAdmin, Changed Server Search List
As shown in Figure 19, the checkbox “Run Network Server” must not be selected. The
CodeMeter software searches exclusively on the servers in the server search list for a valid
CodeMeter dongle. You may now start the Vision Traffic software.
The license window provides more information about the license and the dongle used, (see
Figure 20).
Figure 20:
Example PTV Visum license overview

4.5
Reliable check of connection between Client and Server
The following chapter describes how the connection between the client and your license
server can be checked. There are two preconditions: The license server where the
CodeMeter software has been started as service must be accessible over the computer
network. In addition, the server and the client have to be in the same subnet. Otherwise,
the server name or its IP address has to be added to the server search list on the client
side. If all preconditions have been checked, proceed as follows.
Right click on the CodeMeter icon on the status bar and select WebAdmin. In the following
dialog click ”Home”, and then on the green button with the “Host Name” of the computer.
This opens a second small Browser windows (see Figure 21).
Figure 21:
Result of Server search
This window contains a drop down box with all CodeMeter license servers available in the
network. By default, your own computer, localhost, is selected. In addition, the list should
include the license servers which have been added to your server search list. If available,
the list shows computer name and IP address of all availabe license servers.
Select your license server in the list of available servers and click the “Select” button. This
will close the small windows and you will return to the WebAdmin user interface. Check the
host name in the menu “Home” of this WebAdmin and the web address shown in the
Browser’s address field. The host name should be the one of your license server. And the
web address should be the name or IP address of your license server. If this is correct, you
have successfully and reliably checked the connection between your client and the license
server. This ensures that the PTV software will be able to establish the connection as well.

Error handling
Before and while working with your software protected by a dongle, you may encounter
some error messages . The following sections list errors and their solutions when working
with a CodeMeter dongle.
5.1
“Licence key not found”
If the error message as shown in Figure 16 appears while starting your software, a valid
CodeMeter dongle could not be found. Please check the following issues and correct as
required:
5.2

Did you plug in the correct CodeMeter dongle on your local machine or on a machine,
which is accessible via the network?

Did you start the CodeMeter software? (Can you see the corresponding CodeMeter
symbol in the status bar on the bottom right of the desktop)?

If you have plugged the CodeMeter dongle into another machine, is this machine
accessible via the network?

If you have plugged the CodeMeter dongle into another machine, did you start the
CodeMeter software on that machine?

If you have plugged the CodeMeter dongle into another machine, did you set up the
firewall on that machine to permit access to port 22350 (this can be checked by typing in the corresponding URL into your web browser, (see chapter 3.3))?
CodeMeter error
If you are using your Vision Traffic software as network version, i.e. the CodeMeter dongle
is not plugged into your local machine, you have to make sure that the connection to the
CodeMeter dongle is never interrupted. If the connection is interrupted, an error message is
displayed, (see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.).
Possible reasons are:

The CodeMeter dongle has been unplugged accidentally

The network connection has been interrupted

The CodeMeter software on the remote machine has been stopped

The CodeMeter server has been turned off

The CodeMeter software on the local machine has been stopped
18
Error handling
Figure 22:
CodeMeter error
The CodeMeter error message will be followed by another error message shown in Figure
23. Please check whether the connection has been lost and try to reconnect.
Figure 23:
CodeMeter, execution error
Please press the “Retry” button in any case to reconnect! Otherwise, the software will be
shut down and you will not be able to save your work.
Check the possible reasons listed above and correct as required to reconnect.
Alternatively, you can proceed as follows in order to continue working with your software:

You can plug the CodeMeter dongle into your local machine

You can plug the CodeMeter dongle into another machine, which has to be accessible via the network (please change the server search list, if necessary (see chapter
4.4)).
If you have plugged the CodeMeter dongle into your or another machine please click the
“Retry” Button. Now, the CodeMeter software is searching for a valid CodeMeter dongle
again. In case of success, you can continue working with your Vision Traffic software. Otherwise, the error message shown in Figure 23 appears again.

6.1
Creating a context file
To exchange the key file of your software licence, we have to know which individual CodeMeter dongle you are using. Each CodeMeter dongle has its own serial number. Therefore,
we need to have its individual context file, as this file contains a licence overview and the
serial number. Please start the CodeMeter control center (see chapter 3.3, Figure 12).
Then, navigate to the Licence tab as shown in Figure 24. Please note that the CodeMeter
dongle must be plugged into your local machine.
Click the “License Update” button, a new window with the ‘CmFAS Assistant’ will open up
(see Figure 25). Click “Next”.
Figure 24:
CodeMeter control center, "license update" button
On page 2 of the ‘CmFAS Assistant’, please click the radio button “Create license request”
and then “Next” (see Figure 26).
On page 3, select option “Extend existing license” and then “Next” (see Figure 27). On the
next page, keep the selected entry ‘PTV AG (100321)’ and click “Next” (see Figure 28).
20
Figure 25:
‚CmFAS Assistent‘, page 1

Figure 28:
‘CmFAS Assistant’, page 4
In order to save the context file, click the “Commit” button (see Figure 29). You may change
the directory in which you save the file. Please do not change the name of the file! (ex. 11059512.WibuCmRaC). The extension ‘WibuCmRaC’ identifies the file as a context file.
Figure 29:
‚CmFAS Assistant’, page 5
Figure 30: ‚CmFAS Assistant’, page 6
Go to the directory as shown in Figure 29 and send us the context file you created with the
file extension WiBuCmRaC.
22
6.2
Applying a context update file
Usually, we will send you a new context file for your CodeMeter dongle by e-mail. In order
to import this context file and to extend your license, please open the CodeMeter control
center (see chapter 3.3, Figure 12). Then, click the License Update button, a dialog is
shown (see Figure 31). Click “Next”. The CodeMeter dongle must be plugged into your local machine.
Then, as shown in Figure 32, select the Import Licence Update radio button and click
“Next”. Now, select the CodeMeter update file (with file extension WiBuCmRaU), which you
received (see Figure 33). Then click “Commit” to apply the update to the dongle. Figure 34
indicates that this process has been successful.
Figure 31:
Figure 32:

Figure 33:
Figure 34:
Update the firmware of the CodeMeter dongle
It might be necessary to update the firmware (the software which is installed on the dongle
itself) of the CodeMeter dongle in order to be able to execute the context update file provided. The process to update the firmware requires a valid internet connection. In some
cases, this requires to have configured the proxy settings of the CodeMeter Runtime Kit.
Check the proxy settings under:
http://localhost:22350/ConfigProxy.html
To do so, please start the CodeMeter control center (Figure 35). In tab “Licence”, click the
icon” “ on the right side of the control center. Please note that the CodeMeter dongle
must be plugged into your local machine. This may require the password ‘CodeMeter’.
24
Figure 35:
CodeMeter control center
Do not unplug the dongle until the update process has been finished (see Figure 36).
Figure 36:
Do not unplug CodeMeter
At the end of the update process a message will be displayed. Figure 37 shows the message if the update has been successful. Otherwise, an error message is shown.
Figure 37:
6.4
Firmware successfully updated
Proxy Settings
In some companies and organizations, your computer is able to connect to the internet but
this is not a direct connection but it is redirected through a proxy. The CodeMeter Runtime
Kit requires this information as well. There are two ways to do this:

You can try to find out the correct proxy settings automatically, or

You can change the proxy configuration manually
Automatically you can identify the proxy settings:
Go to Start -> All programs -> CodeMeter -> Tools -> CodeMeter Command Prompt. This
25
opens the MS DOS box. Please insert the command:
cmu32 --detect-proxy --write --force
Hit the Enter key to confirm the command. The output looks like this:
Figure 38: Output of Command Prompt
Change the proxy settings manually:
Instead of working with the Command Prompt, you can do the required changes directly in
the WebAdmin user interface under menu “Configuration”, sub menu “Proxy”. Your IT department will help you to get all required information. See the following link:
http://localhost:22350/ConfigProxy.html
