License Container / Firm Code / Product Code
A license container serves as a repository for licenses (CmActLicense and CmDongle).
A firm code is a unique identifier, which is assigned by Wibu to a specific company or organization.
A product code is a specific license for a CODESYS product (for example, CODESYS Professional Developer Edition). The product code is stored within a firm code.
UFC firm codes
A universal firm code (UFC) is the firm code type currently assigned by Wibu.

It is not possible to install UFC licenses on legacy license containers (for example, for application-based licenses).
Legacy license containers are identified by their serial numbers: 2-xxx (CmDongle) or 128-xxx / 32767-xxx (CmActLicense).
