Reprise License Manager Reviews

Excellent Licensing Management

Reviewed on 2020/11/05

Integration was relatively straight forward and on the whole definitely less effort than rolling your own solution. Costs overall put it slightly in favour on the build vs buy decision. It is not inexpensive but in most cases will cost less than your own solution unless you need something extremely basic.

Happy with Reprise

I got up and running on Reprise very quickly. Once it has been implemented in my software, I rarely need to do any coding with Reprise. It just works.

Reprise RLM Suits our Needs

Code level license integration made easy

Reviewed on 2016/02/18

RLM is an effective tool which programmers and sales groups can use to eliminate proprietary product licensing and license management. Building a product is challenging enough without having to factor in the cost of sustaining custom licensing code and license generation software.

RLM does all that and more. Need support for network licensing? RML does it. Need support for licensing renewal and expiration? Look to RLM.

Cons? You have to spend a bit of time understanding licensing to realize the complexity of the task required to turn you own licensing solution. The same is true when you want to integrate RLM. You have to decide what features you need and then later branch out to use many of their more advanced offerings. The learning curve on concepts like license sharing, or detached licenses can be high at first. Once the concepts are understood the value is readily apparent.

Great product, solid well thought offering, responsive support group.

Great product

We use RLM in our desktop products and have been very happy with it. It didn't take us long to get it up and running (though we went a step or two further and built a nice C++ wrapper on it -- you certainly don't need to do that if you don't want to) and whenever we need support, Reprise is quick & prompt with the help (usually situations involving odd customer networking setups when they're trying to use a floating license server).

Perhaps most important, we've found RLM to be of the category of 'fire and forget'. We implemented it in our software, verified it, and have had to do almost nothing since to keep it up & running. Every so often we'll upgrade to a newer version, which means compiling some binaries and putting them in the proper place so our in-house licensing system (which sits on top of RLM) can do its thing, but that's basically a couple of hours of work We upgrade to the latest version every couple of years, so this is pretty minimal.

Excellent, flexible licensing solution backed by exceptional customer support

Reviewed on 2016/02/19

We have been a customer of Reprise's for many years and have found their solution to be technically excellent. As a new company, they delivered a robust product from the onset and have incrementally continued to improve.

Some of the pros are:
- supports many licensing models--trials, stand alone, network and mixtures.
- flexible binding to various host/system ids
- a fare pricing model to fit smaller businesses
- very quick to respond to technical support and provide solutions
- easy to use management and troubleshooting tools

Cons are minimal:
- not as plug-and-play as some solutions (e.g., requires compilation and more coding to integrate)
- .NET wrappers are fairly basic and non-object oriented

I would recommend RLM without hesitation.

Flexible Software for Multiple Licensing Needs

Reviewed on 2016/02/19

The RLM software can handle numerous licensing needs, including locking a product to a specific machine, limiting the amount of time a product can be used, and if desired setting up a license server.

Keep in mind that this is software intended to be used by other software engineers. So it's not a product like Microsoft Word or Quicken where you just install it and it's ready to be used. It takes a little work, including changing your own code to use it, but once all of that's done, it's pretty robust.

Strongly Recommend RLM

We switch to RLM several years ago and have been quite happy. The evaluation, conversion of our licensing models (to the RLM paradigm) and code was quite straightforward. Representing all licensing policy in the customer's license file is a powerful advantage over other licensing packages We have found the RLM software (both standalone and networked license server) to be very reliable and capable of meeting our needs. Reprise support is a real bonus: very responsive, detailed and professional.

We are using RLM for licensing our flagship CFD automation product "FluidNexus" for around 3+ years. For a small company like us, it helps a lot due to it's pretty simple integration with the code. Very important is our end users have not submitted any issues with RLM for last 3 years.

RLM with Fortran

Reviewed on 2016/02/19

I was initially skeptical of RLM because their examples for use with Fortran were described as "unsupported." However, their customer support personnel were very effective in helping me integrate RLM with my company's product, and RLM does exactly what we need a license manager to do.

Easy to use license module, fantastic support.

Implementing RLM Start to Finish for multiple Software packages

Reviewed on 2020/11/05

Once we got everything setup, implemented and tested within our software solutions, the licensing manager is now very easy to use, manage and maintain. Setup was the hard part. Better documentation might make it easier for new clients. Now that we are there, Reprise License Manager pretty much runs effortlessly in the background. Our next steps are to implement our own hosted activation site so that we can unplug from the hosted activation server, when time comes available.

Flexible, adaptable and transparent

Reviewed on 2016/02/18

We've been using Reprise for our products' licensing for more than 6 years now. Their solution client-side is in the form of a library, and it is very transparent what it does and how it works. It is in a form that is highly flexible, so that when we have requirements or processes that are unique for us, it is possible to adapt. The transparency has also allowed us to develop much of our own back-office processes and automation, from license generation to activation, to salesforce integration, around the Reprise toolset. They have a diverse set of licensing options, only a subset of which we make use of, but we are able to offer our customers floating (site) licenses as well as individual licenses.
I've interacted with Bob many times, from advice on how to approach issues or client-specific problems, to addressing bugs, to implementation problems on my end. He's the expert, and I like being able to get right to the deep technical details immediately.
Because the client-side is essentially a library, much of the onus for the customer experience falls on us -- how our product's UI presents licensing interactions to the user. This is less turn-key than some other options, but as I said, it gives us total flexibility. I often feel that we could do a better job on our end. Where there are areas where ERs on their end can help, I know I have a receptive ear, and have seen several of my requests implemented over the years.
