In addition to the "serial number," CF cards also have a "hardware serial number."
If licenses are purchased for functions under license, a "license key" is generated from the
hardware
serial number of the CF card and the serial number of the purchased licenses, which
is only valid for the respective CF card.
The data required for the licensing can be read by reader unit via the bar codes on the license
certificates (Certificate of License "CoL") and the 2D code on the CF card in order, for example,
to automate the licensing process.
