Working "off-network"

Do your customers ever need to use your products while disconnected from their enterprise network? Would you like your licenses to be managed properly even after your customers take their notebook computers on the road - still keeping them in full compliance with the terms of your license while they're away?  If this sounds like something you'd like to be able to do, then consider using RLM for "roaming" licenses.
 
RLM can allow floating licenses to roam to a system that will later become disconnected from the network.  The disconnected license can be used for a certain number of days specified at the time that the license was acquired and is checked back in automatically at the end of this period.  In addition, the end user can return the roamed license back to the license pool early if desired, returning it to the floating license pool on the server from which it was checked out.
 
You can enable roaming on a site-by-site basis. It is a standard part of RLM.  All that is needed is a "roam license" on the server and on the notebook.  As long as the notebook is connected to the enterprise network, the roaming license can be "refreshed" each day to reset the number of roaming days left in the roaming period.
 
Once the user disconnects from the enterprise network, the roaming licenses will be available until midnight of the "nth" roaming day as specified when roaming was set up on that machine.  The license server no longer needs to be accessed to ensure access to the roamed applications.
 
Many products lend themselves to this type of model, whether or not a license manager such as RLM is used.  Using RLM to monitor and control roaming behavior will help ensure compliance with the your license terms and allow the end user to benefit from using your applications when away from the enterprise network.  Truly, this is a "win-win" license model.  Contact Reprise Software today at info@reprisesoftware.com to get started on your evaluation of RLM to learn how license roaming can benefit your company and your end users.
