  • Systems and methods for license management in a domain-separated architecture
    Patent number: 11409844
    Abstract: Present embodiments are directed toward a domain-separated license management system (DSLMS) for managing software license compliance in a domain-separated architecture, such as a domain-separated client instance. The DSLMS populates a domain tree structure with a determined number of software licenses assigned to, and a determined number of software licenses in use by, each granular domain of the instance, and this information is stored in the leaf nodes of the domain tree structure. The domain tree structure may be further populated to include a number of software licenses assigned to, and a number of software licenses in use by, each non-leaf node of the domain tree structure. Once populated, the domain tree structure is used to determine whether the represented domain-separated client instance is fully-compliant, partially-compliant, or non-compliant.
