Simplified License Servers for RLM
RLM Cloud is a fully hosted, cloud-based solution designed to streamline the management of your customers’ RLM license servers.
RLM Cloud offers an intuitive interface that allows you to provision and manage customers' license servers, and install and manage their licenses - all from your browser. No need to install license server software on your customers' systems.
RLM Cloud provides a comprehensive platform to issue and serve licenses for your customers. Your customers no longer need to worry about installing or managing a license server with RLM Cloud. They simply install your application, add the licenses, and are ready to go.
Unlike other License Managers, RLM Cloud allows you to perform all these tasks without modifying the existing RLM API calls in your application. This ensures seamless integration and minimal disruption to your operations.
Define the types of licenses to be delivered to your customers, typically trial, permanent node-locked, and permanent floating. If you are familiar with RLM Activation Pro, this setup process is nearly identical.
Upon purchase, add the customer to your RLM Cloud database, and provision a license server for them.
Create the licenses your
customer purchased.
Push the licenses to the server machine in the RLM Cloud and tell the server to reread the licenses. The server is ready for your customer to use.
Using the RLM Cloud dashboard, you can see the status of all your customer’s servers in one place.
Software License Manager
As a Software publisher, you integrate RLM into your product, and RLM keeps track at runtime of who is using the licenses of your software.
RLM can do this entirely within the client library (linked into your application), or, more commonly, your application makes a request of the RLM Lincese Server to check out a license.
The lincese server runs either on your customers network, or in the cloud if you are using our RLMCloud™ service.
Activation Pro is
used once when your customer purchases your software in order to retrieve the license which is specific to that customer.
Software Activation’s purpose in life is to get the licenses for your product to your customers with a minimum of fuss.
Activation Pro also has a server component wich we call the activation server.
Your application contacts the activation server and supplies a short text activation key, and in exchange, the activation server returns the license which enables your product.
Generally, this is done once, right after your customer purchases your software, not every time your software is invoked.
