About Excellence in Software Protection, Licensing, and Cybersecurity
Today, software is the power that moves society. To stay in control over their intellectual property and remain competitive on the market software publishers and intelligent device manufacturers need to integrate top-notch protections against counterfeiting, reverse engineering, and tampering and implement an orchestration of license models that fully respond to the customer’s needs on a global scale. CodeMeter by Wibu-Systems is a comprehensive and award-winning suite of hardware-, software-, and cloud-based solutions that safeguards the technical know-how and enables new business models.
CODESYS on the Future of Industrial Software Licensing and Virtual PLCs
How will industrial licensing evolve as more value moves from hardware into software?
Dieter Hess, CEO of CODESYS (https://www.wibu.com/products/codemeter-integrations/integration-with-codesys.html), and Stefan Bamberg, Director Sales and Key Account Management at Wibu-Systems, discuss the changing economics and architecture of industrial automation.
The conversation explores software monetization, hardware independence, perpetual and feature-on-demand licensing, usage-based models, subscriptions, cloud and network licensing, air-gapped production environments, and the rise of virtual PLCs.
As control technology becomes increasingly software-defined and multiple virtual controllers can run on shared infrastructure, licensing takes on a new role: managing not only how software is sold, but also how virtual industrial resources are deployed, counted, and monetized.

Security und Softwarelizenzierung in der Praxis (German)
Softwarelizenzierung wirkt oft wie ein Randthema: eine Maschine ist bereits auf dem Weg nach Asien, die Software wurde in letzter Minute fertiggestellt und niemand hat geklärt, wie sich Know-how schützen und die Nutzung zuverlässig kontrollieren lässt. In dieser Folge des Industrial Security Talk erläutert Stefan Bamberg, Director Sales bei Wibu-Systems, warum Lizenzierung und Cybersicherheit heute untrennbar zusammengehören und in derselben Architekturbetrachtung gedacht werden müssen. Von Security-by-Design und dem Cyber Resilience Act über Feature-on-Demand und Pay-per-Use bis hin zu KI-gestützten Angriffen und Post-Quantum-Kryptografie zeigt das Gespräch, wie Industrieunternehmen ihr geistiges Eigentum schützen, Manipulationen verhindern und softwaredefinierte Funktionen in sichere digitale Geschäftsmodelle überführen können. Ein praxisnahes und offenes Gespräch für alle, die Lizenzierung noch immer als rein kommerzielles Detail betrachten.
