A license authentication method and device in a virtual environment

Abstract

The invention discloses a license authentication method and device in a virtual environment. The method includes: obtaining hardware information of a virtual machine currently running by application software, and comparing the hardware information of the virtual machine recorded in the License file with the obtained hardware information of the virtual machine , if different, the license authentication fails; otherwise, further obtain the hardware information of the physical server where the virtual machine currently running the application software is located and / or the unique identifier of the virtual machine currently running the application software on the physical server, and compare the license file Record the hardware information of the physical server and the obtained hardware information of the physical server, and / or record the unique identification and the obtained unique identification in the license file; if the hardware information of the physical server is recorded in the license file and the obtained physical server The information is the same, and / or, the unique identifier recorded in the license file is the same as the obtained unique identifier, the license authentication is successful, and the license authentication loophole can be avoided in the present invention.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to a license authentication method and device in a virtual environment. Background technique [0002] Virtual software is a software that can virtualize a physical server into several logical servers. Each logical server is a virtual machine (running on a physical server), and each virtual machine has a CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit), memory , hard disk, motherboard, network card and other hardware environments, for application software running on a virtual machine, there is no difference between running on a virtual machine and running on a physical server. [0003] In the prior art, the license authentication process of the application software includes: during the registration process of the application software, the hardware information of the device where the application software is located is sent to the license file generating device, and the li...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, because the hardware information of the virtual machine can be modified and cloned at will, that is, multiple virtual machines may have the same hardware information, so when the license authentication method is applied to the virtual machine, it will lead to license authentication vulnerabilities

For example, virtual machine 1 and virtual machine 2 have the same hardware information, and when the application software should run on virtual machine 1, the hardware information of virtual machine 1 will be recorded in the License file; but when the application software is authenticated on virtual machine 2 , it will first obtain the hardware information of the device where the application software is currently located, and compare the hardware information recorded in the License file (the hardware information of the virtual machine 1 at this time) with the hardware information of the device where the application software is currently located (the virtual machine 1 at this time) 2 hardware information), the result of successful license certification will be obtained. Obviously, the license certification result is wrong
