Install Wibu Key Drivers
Installing the Dongle Drivers. This section describes the installation of the WIBU-KEY drivers. Some distributions of V-Ray automatically install the WIBU-KEY drivers.
What's covered. Basic ideas is a hardware protection key for ARCHICAD and other Graphisoft products.
It has been used for ARCHICAD since version 7.0. Since ARCHICAD 13, both and keys are available for ARCHICAD. From ARCHICAD 19 on only CodeMeter hardware and software-based protection keys are supported. ARCHICAD 18 was the last version which supports Wibu key protection. A protection key (also known as “keyplug” “wibu-box” or “dongle”) is necessary to run ARCHICAD in “commercial” mode. Compatibility WibuKeys are backwards compatible. That is, a programmed for ARCHICAD 16 can run previous versions back to ARCHICAD 7.0 (or, with proper tools installed, back to 6.0). Limitations The internal memory of a does not allow supporting more than 3 products.
Therefore it can not hold all the key-protected Graphisoft products (ARCHICAD, and ) at the same time. This is why, as a newer option was introduced with ARCHICAD 13. Also does not support license borrowing. Running different versions of ARCHICAD parallel on a computer may result more than one used license on the Wibu Server. For details see: Single and NET keys WibuKeys can be programmed to hold a Single ARCHICAD license, or multiple licenses (up to 99), in which case it is called a NET key.
To share ARCHICAD licenses in a computer network, the Server application has to be installed and run. More about the NET keys: Tools and Drivers To access licenses in a, the driver needs to be installed. Installing ARCHICAD versions 7.0 to 12 will automatically install a driver.
From ARCHICAD 13, installing the driver is optional (you have to choose either or during the ARCHICAD install process). The drivers can also be installed separately from the ARCHICAD Install DVD, or can be downloaded from this page: During installing the drivers, the should NOT be plugged, and rebooting the computer after installing is recommended. Note that installing an older version of ARCHICAD may replace a more current driver with an older version. After installing an older version of ARCHICAD, we recommend to re-install the latest driver from. In case of NET keys, the same version of the driver needs to be installed on all machines where ARCHICAD is installed. On the key server machine (the machine that runs the Server application) these components need to be installed:. The driver.
The Server. The Server Monitor Note that the “key server” machine can be any computer in the network, it does not have to run a server operating system and it does not have to have ARCHICAD installed. Manage WibuKey settings The WIBU-KEY Control Panel (PC) The main management instrument on PC is the WIBU-KEY Control Panelwhich is accessible from the Windows Control panel. This control panel has a so called “Advanced View”. It can be activated in the system menu or by clicking onto the WIBU-KEY ICON title bar. (red rectangle) Functions of the control panel:.

The WkConfig application (Mac) The WkConfig.app is the Mac counterpart of the Control panel. It is located in the Applications/WIBUKEY folder.
Functions of WkConfig:. Contents: Shows the codes of the programmed key content – if no data appears on this page, then the computer does not recognize the key at all. Client: Enables/disables and orders the Subsystems: ‘Local’ enables/disables the use of a key attached to the local computer, and WkLAN does the same for a NET key on a different computer. You can change the search order of subsystems – should ARCHICAD look for a local or a network key first. If WkLAN is enabled, you can also define the address of the Server. (see details at WibuKey/Server). Server: Basic Server settings (see details at WibuKey/Server).
