Abstract: A license update engine is run as part of a license entitlement automation system. The license update engine is minimally executed daily and identifies, for example, content updates to be applied and licenses that have drifted from their definition. The license update engine then generates proposals for operators to consider. Accepted proposals update the license configuration. Thus, the license update engine identifies licenses and the definitions that are connected to them, including definitions that the licenses from which the were created and definitions that are linked to SKUs of entitlement purchases. Analyses relates three categories of proposal, including license types, applications linked to licenses, and usage rights on licenses. Proposals are stored in a database and operators can accept or ignore them. The database maintains a history of license changes.
