  • Delete an existing container: cmu32 --delete-cmact-license --serial <container_id>

  • Create a license request: cmu32 -c <firm code> -f <licenseReqName>.WibuCmRaC --serial <container_id>

Interactive or Non-Interactive Usage

All commands of the WCCOAtoolCMactivation tool can be used in interactive shells or in a non-interactive environment (e.g. script). If the commands are used together with the -interactive yes option, then the output is human readable. When an option is not specified, then -interactive no is the default. Non-interactive provides JSON formatted text on stdout for information and JSON formatted text on stderr for error messages.

Note:
The tool reports as briefly as possible. Turn on more output with the -verbose option.

Default behavior

When options are not set, the default action of the WCCOAtoolCMactivation is set:

-activate -interactive no <gateway> <ticket>

This is valid on PCs with exactly one license container and it loads all available license options from the given tickets into this container.
