Patent

CA 2267041

A method and a system for disabling execution of a software application stored within a computer absent data indicative of an authorised use of the software application are disclosed. At start up or during execution of a software application a user is prompted for user authorisation information. Using a processor within a smart card the received user authorisation information is compared with user authorisation information stored in memory of the smart card to produce a comparison result. If the comparison result is indicative of an authorised user of the software application, then data indicative of the authorised use of the software application is provided from the smart card to the computer. Upon receipt of the data indicative of the authorised use of the software application execution of the software application is continued. When the data is not data indicative of the authorised use of the software application further execution of the software application is disabled. For example, biometric information in the form of a fingerprint may be used for user authorisation.
