Pinnacle Software has developed an easy-to-use and flexible software licensing system that offers protection from software piracy and enables distributed licensing without additional hardware. PremierLM is more than just a software lock; it also manages flexible usage policies for individual or enterprise customers. The license manager ensures that licenses are available to users across a network, whether they are in the next room or across the world. PremierLM is self-managing, which means that System Administrators will not need to worry about any additional governing.
 
 

Software License Manager

 
  • PremierLM is Internet ready and uses standard networking protocols to eliminate the need of installing and supporting additional services. Managing licenses over a local area network or the World Wide Web is simple and transparent to the users and administrators.
  • PremierLM offers various licensing policies that enable flexible control over how and when your software will run. Since the specific license policy details are separated from the software that is being licensed, it allows a single version to be customized for each customer situation.
  • PremierLM is based on a tried and true framework that ensures the reliability that every customer demands and you need. This stability and ease of use is also demonstrated in the implementation. Only 1 call is needed by your application to acquire a license for a feature, PremierLM handles the rest automatically.
 
 
 Policies
 

Evaluation

 
    • This policy enforces a strict evaluation period of the software, after which the license expirers and the software cannot be used. This allows a potential customer to try out a new product or feature, but only for a limited time.
 

Enable/Disable Features

 
    • This policy type allows control over individual product features, which can be used to create a single executable, which can be licensed as different versions (lite, standard, professional).
 

Floating concurrent

 
    • This policy enables a pool of licenses to be used concurrently by any user on a network, up to the allowed limit of users.
