Abstract

A method for installing licensed software on an end user's computer comprising having a program storage device and a unique computer identifier. The network computer contains a plurality of different software for license to end users and a database listing computer identifiers licensed to run the software. The end user computer sends to the network computer a command to run a program identifying to the end user computer the software listed as licensed by the computer identifier of the end user computer. The network computer downloads the selected software and installs it on the end user computer program storage device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computer software, and more particularly to a method and system for installing licensed software directly from a network computer to an end user computer over the Internet or other network. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, new computer software, such as programs intended to be executed on an end user's personal computer, has been shipped directly to end user. The installer included on the physical media allows the end user to easily install the software on the personal computer. However, this ease of use allows the software to be installed on any number of additional computers regardless of any usage restrictions of the original license. [0003] The updated software delivery system has been delivered using a web server. Even though many of these systems attempt to control access to software, some of these systems suffer from a number of drawbacks. These deficiencies include lack of control over the inst...
