Automatic Confirmations / Modified Context Files / Push Updates
 Each new Remote Context File (WibuCmRaC) includes all information for
acknowledging already delivered licenses
 In case someone was to use the same (old, outdated) WibuCmRaC again:
 Before CodeMeter License Central 3.20:
Error “Please create a new WibuCmRaC file”
 Since CodeMeter License Central 3.20:
CodeMeter License Central uses a Modified Context File (WibuCmRaM) instead
 Planned: Merge of all open updates into one WibuCmRaU file
 Push Update technology available since CodeMeter License Central 3.20
also for Universal Firm Code
