Patent

CA 2758288

A product key for a software product is obtained and an activation service is accessed by a device to activate the software product with the product key. A digital license associated with the software product is received from the activation service, and the digital license is bound to a set of user-identifying credentials of a user of the device. This application of the digital license can take various forms, such as enabling use of a software product altogether or enabling/disabling of a certain set of features. The digital license and an indication of an association of the digital license to the user ID is saved to a remote license management service, may be cached locally, and may expire and become unusable in the system. The license management service receives and saves this digital license, and can remove expired time-limited licenses.

Selon l'invention, une clé de produit pour un produit logiciel est obtenue et on accède à un service d'activation par un dispositif pour activer le produit logiciel avec la clé produit. Une licence numérique associée au produit logiciel est reçue à partir du service d'activation, et la licence numérique est liée à un ensemble de justificatifs d'identité identifiant l'utilisateur d'un utilisateur du dispositif. Cette application de la licence numérique peut prendre diverses formes, telles que le fait de permettre une utilisation d'un produit logiciel complètement ou l'activation/désactivation d'un certain ensemble de caractéristiques. La licence numérique et une indication d'une association de la licence numérique à l'identifiant d'utilisateur sont sauvegardées sur un service de gestion de licence à distance, peuvent être mises en cache localement, et peuvent expirer et devenir inutilisables dans le système. Le service de gestion de licence reçoit et sauvegarde cette licence numérique, et peut retirer des licences limitées expirées.
