  • Software license management
    Patent number: 8601540
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for automatically managing software licenses that are specifically tied to end users. A repository located on an authentication and license checking server contains the license requirements needed for each application. The repository is searched to determine which license(s) the requester needs to get access to an application. A user authentication is combined with a license checking at the server to grant or deny access to the application. A procurement license server may also be coupled to the license authentication and checking server to order any missing license(s).
