Unlike the first-generation license managers, the design philosophy of RLM preserves the simplicity of the system for both software publishers and license administrators by avoiding unnecessary options in the client library and the license servers and moving these options to the license file, where they are visible and understandable by everyone. Changes to license policies required developers to modify the application source code and re-release the applications. These options are specified in server option files or via command-line or web-based administration tools.įirst-generation license managers (such as FLEXlm and NetLS) required software developers to use extremely complex APIs to control license policy within applications, with relatively less control contained in the licenses themselves.
In addition, license managers provide license administration options to control the behavior of the license servers. Most license managers provide APIs with calls to control many of the aspects of licensing behavior. It’s part of our complete Software Monetization Platform, providing application security and protection at every stage of the software lifecycle.
