"In 2006,
it became clear that as we moved into 64bit platforms, our company needed a
simpler, more reasonably priced licensing solution that better fit our
needs. We looked at the alternative licensing solutions that were being
offered in the market and found that RLM was the "Goldilocks" solution -
just right. RLM was priced affordably while providing all the basic
functionality that we had come to rely on from our more expensive vendor."
Dr. Alireza Torabian,
Director of Product Marketing & Business Development, Apollo Photonics
"The technical
evaluation of RLM proved that RLM was more than capable of handling our
licensing needs. RLM’s simple design makes implementation easy and
straightforward. On the business side, we are comfortable that Reprise has
the experience and know-how to support us now and in the coming years as we
deploy our software with RLM."
Andreas Krainer, Development Manager, AutoForm Engineering GmbH
"We needed Demo licenses, Electronic commerce, Floating licenses and good
support for Java. The search quickly narrowed itself to
Reprise. They had everything we needed and it was ready
to go without a lot of programming from our developers.
We were up and selling on our new web site in six weeks."
Bruce MacPherson, Vice President of Engineering, BioWisdom,
Inc.
"RLM appeared
to be stable from day one. Due to the company's fast pace of innovation and
unusually receptive attitude toward suggestions from customers, Reprise
Software offers us an the opportunity to contribute to and even take part in
its product development."
Michael Belin,
Senior Systems Developer, Craft Animations and Entertainment AB
“Reprise
presented a solution with support for all the platforms our company
required, and an SDK with many useful options. We started to integrate RLM
into our products at the end of 2007 and the porting to RLM has been very
simple and fast. Now, thanks to RLM, Digital Video uses a single license
manager on both Windows and on MacOSX so the programming is simpler and the
license management was implemented with minimum time and effort, and at a
reasonable cost.”
Mr. Gennaro Setola,
Analyst/Developer, Digital Video S.p.A.
“Although
our licensing needs are relatively modest, we still need to support all the
popular FEMtools licensing models that our customers have come to expect on
a wide variety of computing architectures. With RLM, we are able to
cost-effectively provide those models in a framework that our customers can
easily support.”
Eddy
Dascotte, Managing Director, Dynamic Design Solutions
“During our
evaluation RLM met all of our technical requirements in a package that was
easy to implement and deploy. RLM’s streamlined design was particularly
welcome because it made the transition from our legacy licensing very
straightforward. Also, Reprise has priced RLM attractively, especially for
small but growing companies.”
Michael Stöhr, VP of
Software Development, Human Solutions
“Our
licensing requirements serve users with hundreds of workstations and
rendernodes. We support multiple versions of Linux, Windows and OSX. Finding
a satisfactory licensing system for these requirements that is still
affordable was a real challenge. We had previously used Aladdin's NETHasp
license manager with great reliability and success however they didn't
provide an easy way to upgrade customers, manage temp keys, or tie licenses
to a MAC address. With RLM we have been able to untangle our order/upgrade
process, avoid last minute shipping costs and provide our customers with a
much more flexible, high level of service.”
Mr. Joe Alter, President,
Joe Alter, Inc.
“Our
products need to be configured differently for each client installation. The
Reprise License Manager allows us to vary the size and scope of our license
models for each customer by simply modifying the license keys specific for
each one. Our products have a main kernel plus optional modules that may be
licensed separately. With RLM we can handle custom licensing scenarios with
ease. Also, as a recent start-up company ourselves, we appreciate Reprise’s
flexible pricing model as well.”
Thomas
Herlin, Managing Director, Keeneo
"We at Lauterbach needed flexible and customer-friendly
license management for TRACE32 in software-only development and debugging
environments. Evaluating RLM, we found that its smart and clean design
blends well with our product and makes floating licenses more robust and
easy to use for our customers. Reprise's timely and superior support and
their continuing product innovation also match Lauterbach's own business
cornerstones, all of this making RLM our natural choice."
Hagen Patzke, Lauterbach GmbH
"After a
detailed review of offerings in the marketplace and extensive evaluation of
RLM, we’re pleased to be able to offer our end users the greater flexibility
available through the use of RLM for license management. We found
Reprise to be quite responsive, easy to work with and particularly
well-suited to helping us ensure the best possible licensing experience for
our end users."
Scott Henderson,
CTO, The Runge Group
“For
Runtime Design Automation, Reprise offers the right combination of license
management features, value and vendor responsiveness. Since license
monitoring is a key advantage of our Flowtracer/LM product, we needed to use license
management technology from a vendor that would give us the hooks we need to
ensure our customers can use our product successfully. Additionally, as adoption
of RLM continues to grow, our customers will benefit by having more tools
available to them under the control of Flowtracer /NC.”
Andrea Casotto,
President, Runtime Design Automation
"The most important factors that Simerics considered when selecting RLM were
the support of floating and node-locked licenses on multiple platforms and
RLM's reasonable price structure for our new startup company."
Michal Furmanczyk, Simerics, Inc.
"RLM
makes our software even more powerful and effective by providing our
customers with the options and information they need to maximize its use.
We've been pleased enough with RLM to recommend it to other developers in
our area, and they have likewise been impressed with the simplicity,
flexibility and affordability of RLM."
Scott Iverson,
President, SiTex Graphics, Inc.
“For Streamsim, Reprise had
the right product at the right time - at the right price. We examined other
licensing products, but the value of RLM was at a level that others could not
match. RLM has what we need today, and we are confident that based on Reprise
Software’s pedigree, they will continue to innovate to address areas that are
important to us as we grow.”
Marco
Thiele, Founder, StreamSim Technologies
"A nice thing we found with
RLM is that it's lower-profile and so doesn't have the same attention in the
hacker community. It's the 'Macintosh' of licensing software (in that it
seems to draw less attention from hackers/bugs) besides, we don't have to
worry about RLM very often."
Matt Sederberg, Development
Manager, T-Splines
"After a comprehensive evaluation process, we selected the Reprise License
Manager. In addition to the advanced technology within RLM, including
license roaming (a critical feature for Vico's marketplace), what impressed
us was Reprise Software's quick support turnaround time and its
responsiveness to requests for additional features."
Attila Bardos, Director of Software Development, Vico Software
"The SDK is straightforward and well-documented, and
Reprise’s support is excellent. The end-user footprint is small and we
implemented the RLM into our latest version without difficulty and with no
user problems reported so far. I am confident we made the right decision.”
Roger Hewitt, Technical Director, Zentech International
Ltd.
