Reprise Licensing for InSync Technology Ltd

Licensing FrameFormer software standards conversion using RLM

From the outset, InSync Technology wanted their FrameFormer motion compensated software standards converter to be accessible to all broadcast and media professionals. The sizes ranged from small post-production houses up to major broadcasters and content distributors. A simple, reliable software licensing solution was essential in order to simplify the end customer experience.

 

Key requirements for InSync were the following:

  • integration of the licensing solution into their e-commerce platform,
  • a software-only method,
  • applicability to multiple operating systems, and
  • the ability for the customer to be able to activate their product, even if they are off-line

 

RLM from Reprise met all the requirements. The RLM SDK was readily integrated into InSync’s FrameFormer software, and was suitable for Windows, Linux and MacOS. The Activation Pro on-line tool allows activation keys to be automatically generated at the point of sale, and enables tracking of license fulfillment. Short-duration licenses can be generated for demo versions of FrameFormer, allowing InSync customers to try out InSync’s motion compensated standards conversion before they purchase the full license.

 

Paola Hobson, Managing Director of InSync Technology said, “An automated licensing experience is essential for FrameFormer users. InSync’s customers are busy people and don’t have time for complex product licensing procedures. RLM from Reprise has been InSync’s preferred solution for some years now, and since FrameFormer customers are happy, we are happy too.”

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.
