Abstract: Computer software product management systems that operate in a networked computing environment and including a computer database, an intermediate publishing service and spoke computing systems. The database includes an entitlement-monetization data model that includes an entitlement definition and a monetization definition that are inextricably tied to each other in the entitlement-monetization data model. The entitlement-monetization data model is published to spoke computing systems for runtime processing of customer requests made through a customer facing application concerning a computer software product configured according to the entitlement-monetization data model.

Abstract: Runtime computer software product management systems that operate in a networked computing environment. A computer database or computer software product configuration/access management system includes a runtime subscription model including a hybrid entitlement-service state model that defines a hybrid state including first or entitlement state data specifying access to the computer software product by the customer and second or service state data specifying permissible customer actions given a pre-determined combination of entitlement state and service state data. Subscription model state changes may be executed in runtime in response to events published by an event generation system and processed by the configuration/access management system, and modifications to the hybrid state are communicated to an access control system. The access control system responds to customer requests based at least in part upon the received hybrid state data.

Abstract: Runtime computer software product management system including a computer database, an access control system and a composite model including an integrated entitlement-service state model with first state data specifying access to a subscription of a computer software product of a host and second state data specifying permissible actions involving the subscription based at least in part upon the first state data. The access control system is in communication with the computer database and generates grants for an accountant and client based on the entitlement-service state model and receives a request from the computer software product for the client to access the product. The access control system determines a grant status based at least in part upon the first grant status and the second grant status and responds to the request with the determined grant status which governs client access to the computer software product.
