CODESYS from 3S-Smart Software Solutions is the most widely used manufacturer independent IEC 61131-3 Development System on the market. By including an integrated visualization with different clients, integrated connection to all standard fieldbus systems, motion functionality, safety solutions and communication interfaces, it covers the complete software side of automation.CodeMeter from Wibu-Systems is a world leading technology that streamlines software monetization strategies. With the same unique platform customers can enjoy the most sophisticated software protection techniques and a highly flexible licensing management system. It finds optimal application in both the ISV and the industry automation worlds.The partnership between 3S-Smart Software Solutions and Wibu-Systems was born out of the market need for IP protection against reverse engineering and copy protection against counterfeiting attempts. The integration of CodeMeter with CODESYS has involved different technological levels:

  • the protection of the source code in the development tool
  • the protection of the boot application
  • the protection of the usage through application functions and libraries
  • the creation of protected code for PLC target systems

During this presentation you will learn

  • how you can easily implement software protection when developing with CODESYS
  • how you can add plugins for license management to your CODESYS-based application
  • how you can get your entry level development kit
  • about recent development undertaken by the two companies over the last few months

Your moment of truth is now: don't let your CODESYS application be the prey of hackers, and start licensing it in a professional and convenient way.
