Install a cloud license

For the cloud licens one must obtain a credentials file from Pixilab. The file is usually delivered via email once purchased.

See installation instructions below

MacOS or Windows

  1. First install Blocks + CodeMeter License software on your server PC (Windows or Mac)
  2. Open CodeMeter Control Center and drop the credentials file (you will see its serial number appear in the app window)
  3. Now you can start the Blocks server software (Note: the Cloud License requires continuous internet access)

Linux Server / Virtual Machine

  1. Copy the file above to your Blocks server with the following terminal-command:
 cmu --import --file /path/to/140-2361345228.wbc

*The "path/to" refers to the path to file from where you terminal ls located when the program cmu is running. As this is usually running on a virtual machine, you typically use scp over an ssh connection to the computer running the terminal.
