A license control method suitable for cloud computing

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of cloud computing, in particular to a license mechanism applicable to the cloud computing. The license verification does not need to be triggered at the time that the software is started, and the license is enabled to be effective under the state that the software is run in 7*24 hours; the mechanism of closing after the notification is adopted, so that the security of user data are guaranteed; moreover, the license is snapshot when a virtual machine is closed, so that real-time data are guaranteed not to be lost. By adopting the license mechanism, the problem that the validity cannot be activated and verified through the traditional software license mechanism can be solved, and the security of the data and the continuity of the service can be guaranteed; the license mechanism can be applied to the field of the cloud computing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of cloud computing, in particular to a license control method suitable for cloud computing. Background technique [0002] The cloud operating system is responsible for protecting the security of user data. The cloud operating system and the virtual machines on it need to run uninterrupted to ensure the quality of cloud services and customer business continuity. The special needs for data security and business continuity have put forward new requirements for the license mechanism of the cloud operating system. [0003] The traditional software license mechanism generally reads the information in the license when the software is started, and then judges whether the license is still valid, and if so, starts the software; if not, closes the software. The use of this mechanism in a cloud computing environment will bring the following problems: [0004] One is that the cloud operating system is running 7*24 hours. This me...
