Land Software on RLM Cloud: Hassle-free and Future-Proof

  • By Reprise Staff

For the last 20 years, Land Software A/S has spent countless hours helping their customers manage (struggle with) various types of software licensing. They searched for different approaches to minimize the time spent managing their own issued licenses because they would rather spend that time developing software and servicing customers.

 

Requirement: Hassle-free and Safe

For their most recent landscaping add-on, LAND4, for use with ARCHICAD, they wanted a licensing system designed to be flexible, efficient, and easy for them and their end-users. It had to be hassle-free, and of course, safe.

 

Reliable Support and Smooth Implementation

After thorough research, Land Software chose RLM’s cloud-based licensing service, RLM Cloud. The documentation initially seemed a bit abstruse to non-programmers, but the support they received was timely and comprehensive, and the implementation ran smoothly. The system continues to meet their expectations fully, and they plan to move the rest of their applications to the RLM Cloud platform too.

 

Satisfied Customers

Their customers are also happy. They place their orders, receive a license file, install the file – and that’s it. So far, there has been virtually no server downtime, and the Customer Portal allows Land Software’s customers to access their servers and view current licenses and active end-users.

 

Future-Proof Choice

Currently, Land Software issues floating licenses – free demos, as well as paid licenses of various durations, but their plans for the future include additional license types and attributes. The latter also influenced their decision to go with RLM Cloud. In their view, the broad range of license options available combined with the high level of support and continued development of services makes their choice of RLM future-proof.

 

About Land Software

Land Software is a small software development and IT consultancy company based in Denmark. They develop software for landscape architects (www.land4cad.com) and provide IT solutions and IT support to small and medium-sized enterprises. Their goal is to provide their customers with well thought out solutions to practical problems. Most of their clients operate in the landscaping industry.

RLM and RLM
Activation Pro

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.
