  • Software license control
    Patent number: 9372964
    Abstract: A system for software license control is described that is particular useful for use in a virtualized system, such as a cloud computing system. A module can be made available for use within the virtualized network, wherein a license fee is payable for use of the module. The module includes a license file that can be located wherever it is required. In addition, a central license file is provided at an administration node. The central license file is configured such that it can only be operated from that administration node, thereby preventing the copying of that file. The license file operating in the virtual network communicates with the central license file. The central license file controls the use of the licensed module.
