Datamine Software Case Study

Interview with Joshua Knight, Software Developer, Datamine Software.

Challenge

For over 40 years, Datamine has delivered a wide range of integrated mining and exploration software solutions that improve and maintain quality data across the entire value chain. With local offices in 20 countries, their groundbreaking technology services customers from all over the world.

After relying on their own proprietary software licensing solution, they needed licensing software that provided flexibility and customization for their Discover product without all the headaches that come with it.

Decision Process

Joshua Knight, a software developer for Datamine was tasked with finding a simpler, more streamlined solution for Discover’s software licensing. They didn’t want to deal with calls from customers to troubleshoot their licensing issues. Knight added, “We need to be focused on delivering value to our customers instead of the licensing.”

Reprise software licensing seemed straightforward and transparent, while other competitors made the integration process more complex.

Other solutions forced their customers to do things their way. Datamine’s customers can be one-person enterprises or large, multi-national companies on a cloud server, so lack of flexibility was a major drawback.

“Sometimes we have people in the middle of the desert or a jungle in Africa, that can’t connect to the web,” Knight said, “Reprise made it easy to take things offline in those scenarios.”

Reprise’s excellent reviews and outstanding reputation made choosing them an easy decision.

Solution and Results

Implementation was straightforward and drama-free. Within a few weeks, Reprise was up and running.

In addition to flexibility, Datamine’s Discover team also appreciated Reprise’s ease of use, customer support, thorough documentation, and wide range of products.

Now they can focus on what they do best and let Reprise take care of the licensing for them.

New RLM Release (v15.0)

We are happy to announce the first production release of RLM v15.0. It fixes multiple bugs, improves workflows, and adds functionality. 

After working tirelessly for months to improve our software, we know this RLM release will make license management easier and more streamlined for publishers and license admins.

Here are just some of the new features and updates:

  • The RLM server now determines the client’s external IP address and adds this to the list of client IP hostids, if it is not already in the list.  
  • The environment variable RLM_LINUX_ETHERNET_ITERATIONS sets the number of devices to check for MAC addresses. Prior to this release, the Linux ethernet hostid code scanned 5000 devices to get ethernet MAC addresses.
  • The Activation Pro debuglog now includes the PID of the license generator process, to make it easier to interpret the log if multiple instances of the license generator are running simultaneously.   
  • The “text to prepend to license” field has been increased from a maximum of 1024 to 30720 bytes. 

See the Release Notes for all the details.
