RLM Maintenance Release (v15.1BL2) 

  • By Reprise Staff

We have released a maintenance update to RLM v15.1BL2. This release primarily addresses a critical security vulnerability in the Mongoose web server.

 

If you have already updated to v15.1, we strongly recommend updating to v15.1BL2.

 

In addition to addressing this vulnerability we have fixed a number of regressions in v15.1 related to the web interface, as well as closing memory leaks in the client library.

  • Fixed OpenSSL memory leaks in client library.
  • Fixed empty password causing shutdown when using -nows.
  • Fixed issue where password licenses were not shown when entering password in web server.
  • Fixed wrong license being checked out when checking out token licenses with a password.
  • Fixed modification of transfer definitions in web server.
  • Fixed issue where user couldn’t remove checked out license using web server in certain cases.

 

Some of the new features in v15.1 include:

  • The embedded web server has been changed from GoAhead to Mongoose.
  • The RLM web server now requires login to access.
  • Running RLM as root/administrator is no longer restricted.
  • The web interface now supports HTTPS.
  • Several additional security improvements.

 

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.

 

See the Release Notes for all the details.

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.
