Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for determining usage of a software product. The software product is initialized within a virtualized container. Processes executing within the virtualized container are identified. A process fingerprint for the software product is created and includes identifying information of the processes executing within the virtualized container. Usage of the software product on a computing device is determined based, at least partly, on the identifying information of only non-common processes included in the process fingerprint.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to software provisioning in a computer system comprising client devices connected via a communication network to a computing infrastructure. The computing infrastructure is operable for providing, upon a user's request, a software application package to an already running machine. The software provisioning system is configured to retrieve session information about a user logged in to the computing infrastructure via a client device, thereby creating a session, determine a list of software application packages that the user is entitled to request to be provided to the running machine so that the user is able to use a software application contained in the software application packages and calculate software application usage information from the session information and the list of software application packages.
