Summary: Reprise Software Inc. today announced that Achronix Semiconductor, developer of the world’s fastest field programmable gate array (FPGA) called Speedster, has licensed the Reprise License Manager (RLM).

”The Reprise License Manager’s capability, simplicity and value were a good fit for our company,” said Raymond Nijssen, chief software architect at Achronix Semiconductor. “We were impressed with what we saw in Reprise and RLM and believe our customers will be too,” Nijssen added.

The Reprise License Manager from Reprise Software, now in its fifth major release, was created by the original developers of FLEXlm/FLEXnet to offer software companies an alternative. RLM is more powerful and has a smaller footprint than older license managers. With a built-in web server for administration and a published spec for its report log output, RLM lowers costs for end users of software as well.

“We welcome Achronix to the ever-growing list of RLM licensees”, stated Matt Christiano, founder and CEO of Reprise Software. “We’re gratified to see more companies in the electronic design space trust Reprise and RLM to offer a superior license management solution with good value.”
