- A hardware-based protection key is a physical keyplug: either WIBU or CodeMeter.
- software-based protection key is a software-based license key.
Note: When you buy a software key, it becomes available to you online, from your Company License Pool – a virtual repository where you can access all your purchased licenses.
Note: LMT is automatically installed with Archicad.
