Software authorization management method

Abstract

The invention relates to a software authorization management method, which comprises two relational database tables arranged in an authorization server, a commercial software program arranged in a client, a user login authentication management method used between the authorization server and the client, an activation code registration method and a re-registration method. Wherein the user login authentication management method comprises an authorization code retrieving method, an offline authentication method and a heartbeat authentication method. The two relational database tables are an activation code table and an authorization code table. According to the method, a mode of combining offline authentication and online authentication is adopted, the number of legal users can be effectively limited through online authentication, and the uniqueness of software authorization is guaranteed. And offline authentication can effectively reduce the verification pressure of the server. The method effectively prevents one code from multiple purposes, practically guarantees the legitimate rights and interests of commercial software, is convenient to use, and reduces the hardware cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software products, in particular to a software authorization management method. Background technique [0002] Software cracking and protection is an eternal topic that follows the software life cycle. In 2004, Microsoft Corporation proposed the End User License Agreement (EULA) and required users to abide by it. To date, the international general management of copyright protection for commercial software remains the same. However, since the EULA only stipulates the rights and obligations of end users in text, it does not provide effective copyright protection mechanisms and control methods from a technical point of view, it cannot control the arbitrary installation and use of users, and it cannot guarantee that users can crack the software without permission. . In order to achieve the purpose of protecting software copyright, there are two types of schemes: hardware protection and software protection. ...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of existing authorization methods. The device needs to be connected to the authorized hardware carrier. If it is necessary to run software from multiple different merchants, multiple hardware carriers are required, which is troublesome to use, and the equipment cost and maintenance cost of hardware authorization. Increase, the problem that the software authorization scheme cannot achieve 100% security
