## Reviews

### "Excellent Licensing Management" — 5.0/5

> **Paul** | *05 November 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Hosted activation option is great for avoiding the pain of setting up your own activation service and managing uptime and other issues.&#10;&#10;Lots of available options for local licensing, license servers, activation and other configurations.&#10;&#10;Documentation is extensive, though so extensive that it can be a little tricky to find your way around it, usually the information is there though.&#10;&#10;Top notch support team, extremely responsive to questions and issues.
> 
> **Cons**: No true usage based licensing system (e.g., for billing users by the hour). Possible in a way with various work around techniques but complex.&#10;&#10;Interface in web tools is somewhat "old world" at this stage, however perfectly functional. There have been some recent updates improving this however.
> 
> Integration was relatively straight forward and on the whole definitely less effort than rolling your own solution. Costs overall put it slightly in favour on the build vs buy decision. It is not inexpensive but in most cases will cost less than your own solution unless you need something extremely basic.

### "Reprise serves our needs" — 4.0/5

> **Zaia** | *07 November 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software works well with no noticeable glitches. If we need any fixes or changes, we find Reprise to be a good company to deal with. They have been responsive to our needs and we are planning to continue using them over the long term
> 
> **Cons**: There are no issues that Reprise hasn't dealt with in a timely manner. No complaints here
> 
> RLM is an important tool for our licensing and revenue protection from unauthorized use

### "Implementing RLM Start to Finish for multiple Software packages" — 5.0/5

> **Michelle** | *05 November 2020* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Allowed us to quickly implement a licensing and activation solution by leveraging activation pro for the interim until our team could invest in implementing our own activation server to host locally.
> 
> **Cons**: My role was to write the license activation, revoke, validation code in order to integrate RLM into our multiple software solutions. Additionally, I designed the product and licensing models for the client support team (who would then generate and deliver activation keys to clients).&#10;Though documentation and sample code does exist, I found that I had to constantly switch between different documentation sets in order to find valid answers. Even in doing that, I still found it difficult to get the answers I needed, in order to determine what configuration settings we really needed to override for our company specific rlm server.  Additionally, we struggled with understanding how to deal with proxy servers and what types of licensing models we really needed.&#10;I will say that that the support team has been wonderful with answering all of our questions and helping us to get up and running quickly.
> 
> Once we got everything setup, implemented and tested within our software solutions, the licensing manager is now very easy to use, manage and maintain. Setup was the hard part. Better documentation might make it easier for new clients. Now that we are there, Reprise License Manager pretty much runs effortlessly in the background. Our next steps are to implement our own hosted activation site so that we can unplug from the hosted activation server, when time comes available.

### "Flexible and well-priced" — 4.0/5

> **Alex** | *05 November 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Wide range of features, with reasonably-priced a-la-carte offerings. &#10;&#10;Lots of licensing options, and we ended up using a bunch of different configurations:&#10;\* Node-locked short-term demo licenses enabled anyone to try our software&#10;\* Cloud-based floating license servers was a big hit for customers with distributed offices&#10;\* Onsite licensing servers with proxy settings and failover was used by our larger and more restrictive automotive customers&#10;\* Hardware license dongles were used by our most restrictive customers, who wouldn't permit any authentication traffic
> 
> **Cons**: Node-locked protection on Linux was weaker than Windows (didn't support less easily-spoofed options like disk serial number)

### "Happy with Reprise" — 5.0/5

> **Tim** | *05 November 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Reprise is easy to configure and deploy.  It is widely used in the industry.  All of my customers have existing installations of Reprise on their license servers, so using Reprise is easy for them.
> 
> **Cons**: My code is a python code.  I have to write my own C++ / DLL extensions to access Reprise.  It's not hard to do.  I would just like this functionality out of the box.&#10;&#10;I would like Reprise to provide workshops on how to use the basic and advanced features.  Ideally these would be free, but I would be willing to pay a moderate price for this.
> 
> I got up and running on Reprise very quickly.  Once it has been implemented in my software, I rarely need to do any coding with Reprise.  It just works.
