Overview of RLM Activation Pro

RLM Activation Pro allows you to deliver an activation key to your customer, and when they are ready to use your product, a transaction with the activation server allows the license to be fulfilled without manual intervention. When using activation, there is no need for you to get your user’s hostid information - this is transmitted to the activation server automatically.

In the case of a node-locked product, a typical scenario would be that your customer runs the product on the desired machine, and if the license had not been fulfilled earlier, the product asks for an activation key. Once the activation key is supplied, the license is retrieved transparently. From this point on, the product runs with its license in place.

Floating licenses would operate in a similar manner, except that the number of floating licenses to be activated is required.

RLM Activation Pro allows you to deliver rehostable licenses as well, by creating a license that is locked to a hostid that can be removed from the target system when a rehost is requested.

RLM Activation Pro is an optional part of the RLM product. For complete details on RLM Activation Pro, see the RLM Activation Pro Manual.
