making your decision process simpler while covering most common business scenarios.

CodeMeter Kickstart eliminates guesswork by offering a curated selection of the most
commonly used license models, complete setup assistance, and ongoing support. Choose from
flexible deployment options including software-based, hardware-based, and cloud-based
licenses. All managed through a centralized portal that we configure for you.
