Reprise License Manager (RLM)

Handle complex license models and deploy license management quickly with an extremely simple API. RLM supports all the license models you expect – nodelocked, floating, trials, and many more – all with no code changes.  

When the policy is placed in the license instead of in your application code, you can sell your product in new ways after it is released. For many cases, the policy is enforced by the server, which means that when features are added, you get the benefit of these features with a new license server, instead of re-releasing your application.  

It’s easy to ship cloud-enabled licenses for your product: integrate the RLM API into your application, configure the license server to run on your website, and provision licenses for your customers on the license server.  You can configure the license servers on your site to minimize deployment obstacles for your customers and then deliver your product in the cloud with no license installation required by your customer.

Build with a single API and enjoy license management on every major platform, including Linux/Unix, Windows, macOS, and platform-independent Java; on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of most operating systems. Support license servers on platforms which you don’t maintain in-house because RLM includes a generic license server – a small file of settings that replaces a platform-dependent server. 

RLM allows your customers to monitor and control access to licenses simply by pointing any Internet browser at an RLM license server. No separate management tool is necessary, and the UI of RLM is consistent across all platforms.

Share the precise behavior of your licensing model with your customers, because behavior is driven by text files instead of by logic within your source code. Assess usage of licenses with ease since it’s always recorded in fully documented, unencrypted, and authenticated log files. Users can choose from several off-the-shelf RLM usage reporting solutions from our partners – or create their own report writer – we never force your customer to buy a license management tool to understand their usage of your products.

Your customers obtain the ultimate use of their licensed software because the modern architecture of RLM quickly acquires and reacquires licenses from multiple distributed servers – without writing any custom code. RLM transparently queues, in parallel, for busy licenses across multiple servers. Designate a standby license server that assumes complete responsibility should a primary license server fail. Operate even when local licenses are unavailable by configuring RLM to maintain a virtual pool of licenses spread among local and remote license servers.

All licenses are digitally signed using public key cryptography to secure access to licensed software. Protect your rights by restricting licenses and license servers from running within virtual machines. Easily comply with privacy laws by configuring RLM to record usage of licenses anonymously. 

RLM-enabled applications can automatically discover license servers over a LAN, simplifying software deployment for customers, and reducing support for you.
