CodeMeter 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

    Pros:
    CodeMeter enables a secure licensing mechanism of my software at a customer site. This works in different scenarios online and offline. As an administrator I get a good overview, who bought my software.
    Cons:
    The technical documentation to implement the runtime in your software is poor. I see a lot of features that seem interesting, but are not described in a way, that I am really in a position to decide whether it solves my issue.

    Pros:
    A lot of flexibility to define how we license our software to customers. We can enable/disable a lot of features based on creating specific codes to use.
    Cons:
    Complicated to set up and explain to others like sales and support how it works. It could be made easier to use than the way it currently is. The GUI for customers to use the license isn't very intuitive but it works for what we need with help documents.
