CA 2366834

Described is a method and system for managing access to functionality provided by programs by embedding license information in the content (201) that needs that functionality. This facilitates the distribution of both revenue and non- revenue generating content (201) on the Internet. A store (406) of license information can be maintained that identifies a licensee and an associated level of functionality for that licensee. This information defines an access policy for the licensee that determines what access to the functionality is granted to the licensee. The content (201) can then use the functionality of the programs to the extent allowed by the access policy.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de gestion d'accès à une fonctionnalité fournie par des programmes, par l'incorporation d'informations de licence dans le contenu (201) nécessitant cette fonctionnalité. L'invention facilite la distribution de contenu (201) produisant ou non des recettes sur Internet. Une mémoire (406) d'informations de licence pouvant être tenue à jour permet d'identifier un titulaire de licence et un niveau associé de fonctionnalité pour ce titulaire de licence. Ces informations définissent une politique d'accès pour le titulaire de licence, qui détermine quel accès à la fonctionnalité lui est assuré. Le contenu (201) peut ensuite utiliser la fonctionnalité des programmes dans les limites fixées par la politique d'accès.
