  • License orchestrator to most efficiently distribute fee-based licenses
    Patent number: 11593732
    Abstract: An apparatus for a license orchestrator to most efficiently distribute fee-based licenses includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to determine that a workload is scheduled to be executed by a computing device. The computing device includes a licensable resource available for execution of the workload. The code is executable to compare a per-use licensing cost associated with using the licensable resource for execution of the workload with a cost of using existing capabilities of the computing device for execution of the workload and license and use the licensable resource for execution of the workload in response to determining that the per-use licensing cost of the licensable resource is less than using the existing capabilities of the computing device.
