Account-based License entitlements
RLMTeams is an account-based entitlement fulfillment portal in the Cloud, giving your customers secure access 24x7x365. RLMTeams provides simple user-based licensing for individuals and groups working together, without licenses files or activation keys.
RLMTeams provides everything you need to issue entitlements to your customers. It allows your customers to transfer entitlements to other users and to re-host entitlements, all without interaction from your support staff. In addition, you can enable and disable licenses in the field with RLMTeams.
With RLMTeams there are no license files to deliver to your customers; no activation keys to send. Once you create the entitlement for your customer, they are ready to use the software, transfer it to other users, and re-host the software on any computer.

Single API
RLMTeams uses the standard RLM API
This means you do not have to change your code to support RLMTeams, on-premeis license servers, cloud-based license servers, or license activation. With RLM, all of these capabilities are supported in the same RLM API.
Disable Licenses in the Field
Maintain control of licensing
If your customer cancels their subscription, decommissions a machine, or simply doesn't pay, you can disable the licenses already issued to them.
No More "Lost License" Support Calls
Automated license recovery
RLMTeams is always there to respond immediately to every request for a misplaced entitlement. Your customer has control over all their entitlements, either to transfer to other users in the company, or to reclaim those entitlements when necessary.
Bulk Licenses from One Entitlement
Simplify multi-copy purchases
Simplify multi-copy purchases by issuing one entitlement which authorizes multiple computers/users. Your customer can then re-assign individual licenses within this entitlement to their users. They can even reclaim the entitlements later, if necessary.
Promote Collaboration
RLMTeams empowers your users to assign licenses to team members and contractors.
Team members never have to wait for a license transfer - these happen instantly. And licenses are "soft-locked" so that users can operate without an internet connection for as long as you allow them to. And your customers move the licenses at their convenience without having to contact you.
Our Portal or Yours
Use the supplied RLMTeams Portal or create your own.
RLMTeams includes a fully-featured Web Services API witch you can use to replace the supplied Portal. Or start with the Reprise-supplied Portal and migrate to your own over time.
How RLMTeams Works
- Setup: define the types of licenses to be delivered with RLMTeams, either node-locked uncounted, or node-locked single-user.
- Upon purchase, create an entitlement for your customer.
- RLMTeams and RLM do the hard stuff. Your customer logs in, transfers part of the entitlement to other user(s) and/or fulfills the entitlement on their computer. RLMTeams records the transaction in your database, and the license is ready for use.
- You make a standard RLM rlm_checkout() call, check the return status from the API and decide to run or not.
How is RLMTeams different from Activation Pro?
- With Activation Pro, you have to create and deliver activation keys to your customers which are later redeemed for a license. The license gets tied to the user's physical machine and is stored there. The license remains until it is revoked or expires. Your application must be programmed to allow the license to be activated and revoked.
- With RLMTeams, users have accounts on the RLM Teams portal. They log in from their local machines to fulfill their licenses. As the vendor, you get to decide how long the resulting license can be used before it must be refreshed. If a user wants to move his license to a different machine, he logs into RLM Teams from the new machine, deletes the prior fulfillment, and fulfills again.
- RLMTeams accounts are either "admin" users or "regular" users. Regular users can fulfill licenses for themselves, or transfer their license entitlements to someone else on the system. After transferring, they can later "reclaim" the entitlements for themselves. "Admin" users have the additional privilege of managing user accounts.
