Wibu-Systems USA
US subsidiary of German Wibu-Systems AG, providing CodeMeter software protection, IP licensing, and embedded security for industrial applications.
Wibu-Systems USA is the North American subsidiary of Wibu-Systems AG, a privately held German cybersecurity and software licensing company founded in 1989 in Karlsruhe, Germany, by engineers Oliver Winzenried and Marcellus Buchheit. The parent company employs more than 100 people worldwide, with approximately 70 at its Karlsruhe headquarters and the remainder at subsidiaries in Seattle (USA), Shanghai, and Beijing. In 2024, the company celebrated 35 years of continuous operation and leadership in cybersecurity and software licensing. Wibu-Systems specializes in intellectual property protection, software monetization, and access control solutions for software publishers, machine builders, and industrial automation vendors.
The company's flagship platform, CodeMeter, is an all-in-one security architecture combining hardware security modules (CmDongle USB keys and embedded modules), software-based containers (CmActLicense), and cloud-connected licensing infrastructure. CodeMeter supports a wide range of delivery models including perpetual licenses, subscription, pay-per-use, and feature-on-demand licensing. It integrates with PLCs, CNC controllers, embedded Linux systems, and Industry 4.0 and IIoT devices, making it widely deployed in manufacturing automation, robotics software, and machine tool environments where IP theft and unauthorized copying pose serious business risks. The platform is modular: software vendors can start with software-only licensing and later upgrade to hardware-based protection without changing their application code.
Wibu-Systems is a member of the OPC Foundation and exhibits regularly at Embedded World and industrial automation trade shows. Wibu-Systems USA supports North American customers across industrial automation, defense electronics, medical devices, and enterprise software sectors, providing localized sales, technical support, and integration assistance for CodeMeter deployments. The US office is based in the Seattle, Washington area. With the growth of connected robotics and autonomous systems, Wibu-Systems positions CodeMeter as critical infrastructure for protecting the software that controls automated machines from unauthorized use, cloning, and tampering.
