RLM Named a Top Rated Software for Spring 2025 by Top Business Software

We’re excited to share that Reprise License Manager (RLM) has been recognized as a Top Rated Software for Spring 2025 by Top Business Software.

 

This recognition is based entirely on what users are saying — real reviews, honest experiences, and thoughtful feedback from the people who rely on RLM every day to manage their software licensing. Out of over 106,000 products on the platform, only a small number earn this badge. To us, it’s more than just a win. It’s a meaningful reminder that our product is delivering real value where it counts.

 

 

Built for Teams Who Want to Keep Licensing Simple, Flexible, and Powerful

At Reprise Software, we know that license management isn’t always the most exciting part of building software — but it’s one of the most important. If your licensing tools are clunky, limited, or overly complex, it doesn’t just slow down your dev team. It creates friction for your customers, too.

 

That’s exactly why we designed Reprise License Manager to be different.

 

RLM is trusted by independent software vendors and enterprise product teams alike because it works across a wide range of licensing models — from node-locked to floating to cloud deployments — without adding unnecessary complexity. Our users frequently tell us how easy it is to integrate, how straightforward our APIs are, and how flexible the system is when they need to adapt.

 

It’s not flashy. It’s dependable. And that’s exactly what you need when your product and your revenue depend on getting licensing right.

 

 

What Our Users Are Saying

This award wouldn’t be possible without the users who took the time to leave reviews and share what it’s really like to use RLM. Here’s a snapshot of the feedback we’ve seen:

 

  • “Flexible, lightweight, and just works.”
  • “No unnecessary bells and whistles — just clean, functional licensing.”
  • “Great support and responsive team.”
  • “Helps us stay in control without micromanaging every entitlement.”

 

We love hearing this kind of feedback — not just because it’s affirming, but because it helps shape where we go next.

 

 

What’s Ahead for Reprise

We’re not slowing down. Over the next few months, we’re continuing to invest in:

  • Cloud-readiness — making RLM even more versatile for hybrid and cloud-native apps
  • Improved analytics and reporting — so you can see how your licenses are performing
  • Streamlined admin workflows — for faster onboarding and smoother maintenance
  • Expanded resources and documentation — to help teams scale faster with less hand-holding

 

We’ve always believed that software licensing should empower teams — not slow them down. That’s the spirit behind RLM, and it’s what continues to guide our roadmap.

 

 

Thank You

To everyone who’s helped get us here — customers, partners, reviewers, and curious developers giving us a try — thank you. Your support and feedback are what power every improvement we make.

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.
