Software authorization verification method

Abstract

The invention discloses a software authorization verification method. The method comprises the following steps of before software is started each time, processing hardware information of equipment inwhich the software is positioned to obtain a verification code, and comparing the verification code with an authorization code stored in an authorization file to obtain a verification authorization code comparison result; comparing the software authorization time information stored in the authorization file with corresponding time information recorded in a system of the equipment to obtain a timeinformation comparison result; and when the verification authorization code comparison result and the time information comparison result both meet the authorization condition, allowing the software torun in the equipment. According to the method, the authorization verification of the software is realized without depending on external pluggable encryption hardware equipment, a far-end authorization server, the Internet and a satellite positioning time service system, the content of the authorization file can be effectively prevented from being modified by a user, and the service life of the software is effectively controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software use protection, in particular to a method for verifying software authorization. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer technology, there are more and more types of application software and more complete functions, which leads to increasingly prominent security problems such as software piracy and disrupts the software market. [0003] In order to maintain the intellectual property rights of software developers, software developers need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in the development of software authorization management. However, due to the different models and operating systems of various authorized devices, especially for some Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for software developers to control the lifespan of the software, and these are the difficulties of software authorization. [0004] In the prior art, there are mainly two ways of sof...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the prior art, for computer equipment in special application scenarios such as the military field and the security field, the use of external hardware interfaces is prohibited. Therefore, the method of software authorization verification in the form of hardware is limited by the hardware environment requirements of the equipment and cannot used widely

At the same time, in the existing technology, whether it is hardware authorization or software authorization, it is necessary to obtain the time of the device installed by the software. Often, after the system time of the device is manually modified, the existing software authorization verification methods cannot identify the system time. Whether it has been artificially modified, resulting in the use of the software beyond the authorized use time

In the existing software authorization verification method based on the Internet or satellite positioning and timing to obtain time information, although the problems caused by man-made modification of the time can be avoided, for equipment that cannot rely on the Internet and satellite positioning and timing systems, such as the military industry , Computer equipment in the confidential field, still unable to identify whether the system time has been artificially modified
