IMPORTANT: WE ARE DROPPING CODEMETER SUPPORT IN the upcoming completely re-written version 2024!

If you are a new CmStick user or need to get setup initially see the New User Setup info Here

When installing a CmStick or CmACT version make sure to choose the BaseHead-CM option in the full installer.

The CodeMeter Control Center is where you will see what sticks are connected to this system and events and you can update the firmware also from here.

The ‘WebAdmin‘ is where you actually will see what licenses are on your CmStick

Click the button to launch it from the Control Center and go to Content/Licenses to see your purchased licenses

HOW TO REMOVE THE CMSTICK FROM SHOWING UP AS A DRIVE?

First off you’ll need a CmStick with a serial number of 2-xxx
It has to start with a “2-” or “3-“
Then Install the Codemeter Runtime 5.0 or higher from the website
http://codemeter.com/us/service/downloads.html 
Then upgrade the firmware to 2.02 or higher from the Codemeter control center.

Windows: 

  • Open a command prompt and cd into the directory where the cmu32.exe is.
    Usually 
    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeMeter\Runtime\bin
  • Type: cmu32.exe –set-config-disk HidCommunication –serial 2-2831193
    but use your serial number instead!!  8)
  • Unplug the dongle and re-plug it in to no longer see it in Explorer as storage but instead it’s a HID USB device now
  • To set it back to a Mass Storage Device do this (using your serial):
    cmu32.exe –set-config-disk MsdCommunication –serial 2-2831193

Mac: 

  • Open terminal and type: cmu –set-config-disk HidCommunication –serial 2-2831193
    but use your serial number instead!!  8)
  • Unplug the dongle and re-plug it in to no longer see it in Finder as a volume but instead it’s a HID USB device now.
  • To set it back to a Mass Storage Device do this (using your serial):
    cmu –set-config-disk MsdCommunication –serial 2-2831193
