  • Dynamically transferring license administrative responsibilities from a license server to one or more other license servers
    Patent number: 7137114
    Abstract: At least a portion of the administrative responsibilities of one license server is transferred from the one license server to one or more other license servers. These responsibilities include the management of software licenses. This transfer is performed dynamically, such that vendor authorization, at the time of the transfer, is not needed. Further, the transfer of the administrative capabilities can occur prior to the expiration of the licenses being administered.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 12, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2006
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Marvin J. Rich, William K. Mellors, Soon I. Joe, Ronald P. Checca
  • Partitioning a model into a plurality of independent partitions to be processed within a distributed environment
    Patent number: 7124071
    Abstract: A model is partitioned into a plurality of partitions to be processed by a selected number of processors. Since the partitions are substantially independent of one another, the policy employed in the mapping of the partitions to the processors is flexible. Further, in the case in which the model is a chip, at least a portion of the clock and maintenance logic of the chip is also partitioned and mapped to the selected number of processors.

  • Managing licensing of distributed applications
    Publication number: 20030200178
    Abstract: A licensed is obtained by an instance of a distributed application, and one or more other instances of the application are managed under the license. Collectively, the instances managed under the license behave as a single application. For instance, there is one point of user interaction, one point of input/output control, and one point of display for the collection of instances. Each of the controls can be the responsibility of one instance or distributed among various instances.
