Hi
Well it makes sense most of these browsers use chrome’s Blink
under the hood except Firefox
Ones that don’t:
* Mozilla Firefox and its variants (like Tor Browser and Zen Browser):
Powered by Mozilla's independent Gecko rendering engine
* Apple Safari: Powered by WebKit, an open-source engine originally developed by Apple
* GNOME Web (formerly Epiphany): The default web browser for the GNOME
desktop on Linux; it also uses WebKit.
* Pale Moon: Powered by Goanna, which is a specialized "fork" (independent
branch) of older Firefox Gecko technology)

Hi all,
I didn’t see this problem when I was setting up deployment of 4.5.0
on university W11 machines back in October 2025, but now I’m seeing
the same issues with Chrome and Edge, and Firefox fixing everything. This
seems to be a problem with the current version of WebDepot v23.03.554.500.ws4.
As far as a I can tell, the specific version of TopSpin is irrelevant (tested
both 4.5.0 and 5.0.0) – it’s whatever’s on Wibu’s
servers that seem to be the issue.
Mike do you know if this has been submitted as a proper ticket internally?
Do we have a timeline for this getting fixed? I don’t see how not
supporting 75% of the installed browser market is winning strategy…
Thanks
Geoff

This email originated outside the University. Check before clicking links

Thanks Mike! It worked immediately with Firefox.
We had been using Edge, and I tried the link you mentioned for Direct License
Transfer, but that failed with error 0x18088007 - “The connection
to the CodeMeter Runtime on your computer could not be established”.
With Firefox there was no need to try the Direct License Transfer.
Thanks to everyone who reached out.
Best,
Sameer

There are two factors here. Make sure to use firefox--it's the only browser
I've gotten to work successfully. And for some reason the licensecentral
webpage has been coming up in offline activation. If you've got a link in
the lower right that says direct license transfer, click that and it should
do the automatic activation.
Cheers,
Mike
