Problems solved by technology

However, for development suppliers who develop software products for specialized fields such as accounting software and CAD software, it is difficult to allocate a large amount of resources to business other than software development business, and license management or user support becomes a big burden
[0005] Also, for users who use software products provided by a plurality of development vendors, it is necessary to manage licenses and collect patch information for each development vendor separately, and as the number of software products used increases, its management becomes very large. burden

Embodiment 1

[0035] First, the concept of the license management system according to the first embodiment will be described. figure 1 It is an explanatory diagram for explaining the concept of the license management system according to the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, in this license management system, a user installs a business application from a CD into a business Web server running the business application (1). At this stage, the business application is available as an evaluation version.

[0036] And, the user notifies the license management destination (2) of the business application program of the MAC address (A) of the business Web server, and the license management destination receiving the notification sends the user information, MAC address, and Functional division license information is registered in a license management Web server that manages licenses (3). Here, the permission information for each function is information indicating whether or not to use each fun...

Embodiment 2

[0086] However, in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1, the case where the licenses of a plurality of software products developed by one development supplier are managed is explained. However, if the user manages licenses of software products developed by a plurality of development suppliers and collects patch information for each development supplier, the burden increases as the number of development suppliers increases. increase. Also, it is especially important for development providers to reduce the burden of license management and user support as much as possible so that they can focus on software development. Therefore, in this second embodiment, a license management system that can reduce the burden of license management and the like on both the user and the development provider will be described.

[0087] First, the concept of license management related to the second embodiment will be described. Figure 9 It is an explanatory diagram for explaining the concept of licen...

Abstract

The invention provides a license management program, a software use control method and a license management device. The license management program (400) collectively manages patch information of a plurality of software products developed by a plurality of development vendors. A patch processing part (530) operated in a business Web server (20) acquires information related to a patch from a license management Web server (10) and applies the patch. The patch processing part (530) checks an operation environment when it acquires information related to the patch from the license management Web server (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a software utilization control method and a license (licence) management device, which can reduce the burden of license management or user support for software product development suppliers, and can reduce the license management and patch information collection of software product users burden. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, various techniques have been developed in order to prevent illegal use caused by illegal copying of software. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a technique for managing licenses and activation of software using an identification code or a local network address of a device. [0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-219763 [0004] In the case of using a license to prevent illegal use caused by illegal copying of software, the license needs to be managed individually for each user. However, for development suppliers who develop software products ...
