Problems solved by technology

If this function is provided for all orders, it may cause unnecessary waste and free use of users. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method that allows users to only use their authorized functions.
At present, the configuration file method is generally adopted, that is, when the device is started, it is determined whether certain functions need to be started according to the content of the configuration file. However, a disadvantage of this method is that sometimes customers can manually modify these configuration files to use Its unlicensed features
In some cases, the license is stored in the network management center and loaded when needed. This is a real-time license application technology, and the generation of the license is related to the number of device hardware ports, device type, and version. When the system is upgraded, the license must be updated synchronously. very complicated to implement

Abstract

The invention provides a management method and device of functional License. The management method comprises the following steps of: loading a plaintext License and a corresponding ciphertext License; encrypting the plaintext License and an IP (Internet Protocol) address of network element equipment through a preset encryption algorithm so as to generate a ciphertext; and if the generated ciphertext is matched with the ciphertext License, loading a functional program designated by the plaintext License. According to the invention, only the specific authorized function can be used by a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication networks, and in particular, to a method and device for managing a functional license. Background technique [0002] In SDH equipment, in addition to basic functions, equipment manufacturers sometimes need to control whether certain specific functions need to be provided. For example, some orders may require control plane management functions, while other orders may not require control plane management functions. If this function is provided for all orders, it may cause some unnecessary waste and free use of users. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method to allow users to use only their authorized functions. At present, the configuration file method is generally adopted, that is, when the device starts, it is determined whether certain functions need to be activated according to the content of the configuration file. However, a disadvantage of this method is that customers can sometime...
