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

- Open CodeMeter Control Center and drop the credentials file (you will see its serial number appear in the app window)
- Now you can start the Blocks server software (Note: the Cloud License requires continuous internet access)
Linux Server / Virtual Machine
- 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.
