Re: Concurrent Computer Corporation - Form S-8 Registration Statement
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel for Concurrent Computer Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Registration Statement relates to 658,012 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Concurrent Computer Corporation Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Option Plan and the Concurrent Computer Corporation 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon such records, documents, certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to form the basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on original documents and the conformity to such original documents of all copies submitted to us as certified, conformed or photographic copies, and as to certificates of public officials, we have assumed the same to have been properly given and to be accurate.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that the Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plans will continue to be duly authorized on the dates of such issuance.

The opinions expressed herein are limited in all respects to the federal laws of the United States of America and laws of the State of Delaware, and no opinion is expressed with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction or any effect which such laws may have on the opinions expressed herein. This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

a. The Shares are duly authorized; and

b. When issued pursuant to the Plans, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
