We've made many
improvements in RLM v4.0. The RLM Programmer's
documentation, available as an HTML file in the RLM
developer's kit, contains complete v4.0 details.
Please contact
us if you would like to evaluate RLM. The
following summarizes the major new features in v4.0;
first for ISVs, then for
end
users.
RLM now supports improved named-user license type:
RLM's named-user licenses now prevent re-enrollment
into the named user list until after a 24 hour
period.
RLM now can anonymize logfiles: The new
rlmanon utility re-processes an RLM report log
and changes all user and host names to name with a
sequence numbers. For more information, see the
section called License
Administration Tools or rlmanon in the RLM Integrators
Manual.
RLM now supports the Windows Volume Serial Number as
a hostid.
Integration of
"roaming" is simplified: RLM will attempt a
checkout of a roamed license if all other checkouts
fail, so the
RLM_ROAM environment does
not need to be set on a system disconnected from the
network which has a roaming license.
RLM on Intel Solaris systems is aware of Solaris
containers.. This means that RLM license servers
on Intel Solaris systems will no longer run on any
zone other than the "Global" zone (zone 0).
rlmhostid will print the string "(Virtual: zone N)"
after the hostid if the command is run on a zone
other than zone 0 (N is the zone number on which the
command was run).
Report Logs are now all authenticated.. The
"auth" parameter in the ISV options file is no
longer required, as all report logs are now written
with authentication.
The rlm server now has an options
file to control access to certain administration
functions. - The new rlm
options file "rlm.opt" allows you to control access
to the reread, shutdown, status and option editing
commands. See The RLM
Options File
section in the RLM Integrators Manual for more
information.
ISV servers now support Automatic
Report log file rotation.
RLM reportlogs can be automatically rotated daily,
weekly, monthly, or every N days. For details
see the description of the ROTATE option in
The ISV Options File
section of the RLM Integrators Manual.
RLM now can anonymize logfiles: The new
rlmanon utility re-processes an RLM report log
and changes all user and host names to name with a
sequence numbers. For more information, see the
section called License
Administration Tools or rlmanon in the RLM Integrators
Manual.
The RLM web interface allows editing of server
options files.
The RLM web interface will display recent debug log
information from the servers.
