  • Patent number: 11106763
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transaction licensing system (TLS) for managing transactions and entitlements in a cloud-based system, wherein a transaction is a communication with an external server. The TLS includes at least one transaction licensing database (TLDB) that is configure to store entitlement and transaction data. The entitlements may include a general entitlement pool, as well as specialized entitlement pools with entitlements for executing particular transactions. The TLS is configured to determine identifying information for a transaction and then use this information to determine whether the general or specialized entitlement pools associated with the transaction has entitlements available in the TLDB to execute the transaction. When a suitable entitlement is determined to be available, the transaction is executed and the general or specialized entitlement pool is appropriately decremented. When no suitable entitlements are available, the TLS returns an exception.
