Question
How can I check the ability to reach a CmCloud license?
Answer
For CodeMeter runtime versions 8.30a and newer:
Open the CodeMeter Command Prompt (Start: Type "CodeMeter CommandPrompt") and type:"cmu32 --verify-cloud-connection". In the case of a successful test you should receive the answer: "Successfully connected to https://eu-backend.wibu.cloud/test".
For CodeMeter runtime versions prior to 8.30a:
CmCloud uses the CURL library: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL For this, you can open a Command prompt (Start: Type "CMD") and type: "curl -X POST https://wibu.cloud/23182" If the answer is "CmCloud!" you can use cloud licenses on the PC. Otherwise make sure your IT/firewall allows this URL and https (port 443). Beware: Also proxy servers that might be in place must not break https for this URL.
Notes:
- If a network firewall is involved that monitors SSL connections, WIBU Cloud may need to be white-listed. The solution that covers everything and does not need to be maintained is to introduce an exception for `*.wibu.cloud` via wildcard when inspecting HTTPS connections.
