Abstract

A system for enterprises to efficiently comply with software licensing requirements through a distributed software licensing architecture is presented. The distributed software licensing system includes at least one license server to receive and process licensing requests from enterprise servers or computers executing various software applications that are subject to licenses. The licensing system enforces licensed usage of software within the enterprise while maximizing efficient allocation and distribution of software licenses.
