Abstract: The present invention provides a method for redistributing the license tokens to the traffic nodes to make the license tokens can be efficiently distributed to the traffic node. The method including: collecting usage information of each of the traffic nodes; determining a set of license tokens for each of the traffic nodes; and commanding a first group of traffic node(s) to release license tokens and commanding a second group of traffic node(s) to request license tokens based on the usage information and the set of license tokens. A moderator, used in a license controlling system which can efficiently redistribute the license tokens among the traffic nodes, is provided and a controlling system which including this moderator is also provided.

Abstract: Methods and systems for license control associated with telecommunication services are described. An incoming service request can be selectively processed without first checking for license compliance. For example, an incoming request can first be served and then subsequently license compliance can be checked. Periodically, a license server can replenish its license tokens for the service. If a request for license tokens is under fulfilled, then subsequent incoming service requests can be checked for license compliance before the communication service is provided.
