RLM v15.2 (BL2) – Release Date June 18, 2024

We have released the version 15.2 update for RLM. This update adds support for two new operating systems:

  • Windows 11
  • Server 2022

 

It also fixes issues related to the Program Data directory on Windows, as well as the wrong version number being written to temporary licenses.

 

Important note: Starting in 15.1, passwords for the web interface are now case sensitive. The rlm.pw file will need to be regenerated after updating from v15.0 or earlier.

 

Bug fixes include:

  • Warning no longer presented to user when C:\ProgramData\Reprise\isvname\ doesn’t exist.
  • License path no longer includes temporary directory if the temporary directory does not exist.
  • rlm_stat() no longer returns an error if the C:\ProgramData\Reprise\isvname folder is missing.
  • Temporary licenses are now correctly created with version number equal to “parent” license.
  • Using unicode in company names no longer causes issues with portal users on RLM Cloud.
  • Server usage on the RLM Cloud customer portal now loads additional pages correctly.
  • log.php no longer fails to download report logs.
  • Version 9 settings files now work with version 14.2 and later.
  • ISVs are now able to disable certificate revocation in RLM Cloud.
  • BL2 fixes an issue with RLMAUTH failing to authenticate.

 

Note: All RLM kits contain both the machine-independent and the machine-dependent part (including the Reference manual).

RLM and RLM
Activation Pro

What’s the difference?

Reprise License Manager (RLM)

Software License Manager

RLM provides runtime checking that verifies that your application is licensed to run and that the current usage of your application is within the limits you have ser every time your application runs.

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.

RLM provides runtime checking that verifies that your application is licensed to run and that the current usage of your application is within the limits you have ser every time your application runs.

RLM Activation Pro

Software Activation Manager

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.
