Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, configuration files generally do not have perfect security measures, and some users with certain experience may easily modify configuration files illegally in order to open the functions they need, which will bring great economic losses to software developers; The configuration file is difficult to link with the contract signed by the user when purchasing the software, and the software functions signed in the contract may require manual maintenance of the configuration file to correspond to it

[0036] Referring to Fig. 1, the first embodiment of the method of the present invention includes:

[0037] D1) establish a corresponding relationship;

[0038] Wherein, the corresponding relationship between the software function and the state of the software function is established according to the authorization information of the software function in the license.

[0039] D2) Adjust software functions;

[0040] Wherein, adjusting the current software function status is consistent with the software function status in the corresponding relationship.

[0041] Referring to Fig. 2, the second embodiment of the method of the present invention includes:

[0042] P1) establish a corresponding relationship;

[0043] Among them, the software function authorization information in the received license is converted into an internal function switch list, and the corresponding relationship between the software function and the software function state is saved by the list. It can be understood that the converted corresponding relationship can be in the form of a list It can also be saved in the form of an array or other data structures.

[0044] P2) judging whether the software function has been opened, if open, turn to step P3), otherwise turn to step P5);

[0045] P3) judge whether described software function should be opened, if so, turn to step P7), otherwise turn to step P4);

[0046] Wherein, it is inquired whether the software function described in the corresponding relationship should be opened.

[0047] P4) close the function...

Abstract

The invention discloses a software function control method and system, used for control the software function. The said method includes steps: 1) according to the software function licensing information, establish the corresponding relation of software function and software function status; 2) adjust the current software function status with the corresponding relations software function status to keep consistence. The said system includes: licensing control unit, software control unit. The said licensing control unit is used to send software function authorization information in the licensing to the said software control unit, and after the software control unit receiving the said information, it establishes the corresponding relations between software function and functional status, and adjusts the current software functional status with the software functional status of the said corresponding relations to keep consistence. The invention can control software functions in a safe and convenient way.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer software, in particular to a software function control method and system. Background technique [0002] A complete software needs to be composed of several functional modules, but not every user needs to use all the functions, or the functions used should not be open to users for free, there should be some restrictions, and users need to pay a certain fee to use them Corresponding functions, so it is necessary to control the functions of the software. [0003] A method for controlling software functions in the prior art is to use a configuration file to control software functions. Under normal circumstances, the software designed by the software developer will provide many function sets, but for different customer groups, different software function sets may be required. These different function combinations are generally determined by configuration file switches. [0004] However, configuration files g...
