Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance licensing in multi-user computing environments. In an implementation, for each user of a plurality of users engaged with an application installed in a multi-user computing environment, a user-specific license state is maintained for the user with respect to the application. In addition, for each of the plurality of users engaged with the application installed in the multi-user computing environment, the application is delivered in accordance with the user-specific license state for the user.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for validating a new version of a service running in parallel with a previous version of the service. In a validation environment, traffic is duplicated traffic that is inbound to the previous version of the service, for consumption in parallel by the new version of the service. In response to write operations that are prompted by the traffic, the previous version of the service is provided with regular access to the data while the new version of the service is provided with emulated write-access to the data. The non-validated replies to the traffic generated by the new version of the service are then evaluated against expected replies to the traffic generated by the previous version of the service, to identify flaws in the new version of the service.

Abstract: Enhanced licensing technology is disclosed herein. In an implementation, a licensing service provisions license records with license information received from a license provisioning service and indicative of at least a state of each of a plurality of software licenses associated with various users and an operational profile associated with each of various software licenses. License requests are received from various applications for the license information under which to operate the applications. In response to at least one request, the licensing service obtains a current state of the license for an application from the license provisioning service and replies with at least the current state of the license and the operational profile associated with the license as received from the license provisioning service prior to the request.
