Patent
CA 2355586
An online software license verification system is disclosed for verifying legitimate software usage by registrants. The system allows businesses and other software owners to register their software licenses, on a searchable network site, for example a website, which includes a database so as to permit third-party confirmation of the license for the software. Applicant companies submit biographical and contact information to a searchable internet database, and then submit a serial number for each software license owned by the company to an 128-bit encrypted internet database. On the encrypted internet database, all information is stored in encrypted form and serial number information is automatically sorted by product manufacturer name and transmitted, via a secure distribution channel, to the corresponding manufacturer for verification that the serial number is in fact one issued by the manufacturer. If verified, the registrant company's biographical and contact information is confirmed and listed in the searchable internet database in addition to the software applications they have registered. Following verification from the software manufacturer, all serial number information is deleted from the encrypted database. The general public is able to search the internet database, by company name, geographic location, keywords, and/or services provided.
