"Strategic Partnership between Wibu-Systems and Wind River
"
Karlsruhe, Germany – Wibu-Systems AG announced today that CodeMeter would soon include support for the popular VxWorks RTOS (real time operating system) from Wind River Inc. The strategic partnership between the two companies will allow VxWorks customers to take advantage of CodeMeter's proven and patented software licensing and protection system. Wind River's VxWorks RTOS is a leading operating system for embedded systems used in industrial applications. The announcement that Wibu-Systems will adapt both the CodeMeter Runtime and developer tools to support VxWorks adds that OS to the already lengthy list of supported CodeMeter platforms including both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows and Windows Server, Windows Embedded, Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Mac OS X, Linux, and Real-Time Linux.
Oliver Winzenried, CEO and founder of Wibu-Systems AG, said, "Wind River customers will profit by this cooperation – they will be able to better protect their know-how and prevent product piracy. An additional benefit is the increase of operational safety and the potential for new business.”

Increasingly embedded applications such as control systems and specialized devices contain valuable intellectual property in software which manufacturers need to protect from piracy and reverse-engineering. Benefits of the new partnership include:
• Wind River's customers will be able to protect their intellectual property from reverse engineering.
• The use of illegal software copies is blocked and product piracy and plagiarism becomes more difficult.
• In the Embedded realm new business models become possible, such as pay-per-use or feature-on-demand.
• In addition to software, data--such as production data in textile and machine engineering or personal data when using medical devices--can be protected as well.
• Increase in system security by ensuring the integrity of software ("anti-tampering").
• A full suite of development tools for easy and secure integration including runtime environment, validated integration tools, and reference implementations.
Winzenreid added, "The availability of CodeMeter on VxWorks extends the options for manufacturers immensely. We fully understand the physical requirements of hardware manufacturers: next to the familiar USB interface, the CodeMeter protection hardware is also available in SD-Card, CF-Card, and Micro-SD-Card form factors. Optionally; the protection can be bound to the trusted protection module (TPM) or other special customer hardware.
