Hardware Dongle
These are recommended for on-premise license servers, as they can be attached to a backup server without further restrictions.
License Dongles can also be used on local machines.
Software Container
For dongle-less workflows, a Software Container is recommended, usable for License Servers and local usage.
For virtualized environments and cloud environments, a dedicated Software Container called Smartbind_Loose is required. This container type can be added to individual users as a permission, which allows the user to create this container type and activate licenses on it.
Quick Troubleshooting
Info: Software container protection is performed on the hardware elements on validation. If the hardware is changed, the WIBU container validation may fail, making licenses unavailable.
