[0079] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully communicated to those skilled in the art.

[0080] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for managing software legalization. Figure 1 As shown, the method is to automatically monitor and manage the authenticity of software assets in enterprises and institutions. For this, the embodiment of the present invention provides the following specific steps:

[0081] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention deploys a software legalization management system in the intranet of an enterprise or institution. The system includes multiple clients and servers, and a software legalization management device is deployed on the server side. The device is the specific execution body of the software legalization management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

[0082] 101. Receive a software download application submitted by a client.

[0083] The application information of the software download application includes the target software identifier to be downloaded and the first device identifier corresponding to the device where the client is located. The target software identifier may be, but is not limited to, the name of the target software, so that the client may determine which software to download based on the target software identifier, and the first device identifier may be, but is not limited to, the physical address of the device, so that the client of which device initiated the software download application may be determined based on the first device identifier.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present invention, the intranet of an enterprise or institution contains multiple clients that need to install software, but these clients cannot arbitrarily download installation packages from unknown websites to install software. Instead, when the software needs to be installed, they submit software download applications to the server. Specifically, the software legalization management device on the server side accepts and manages the application.

[0085] For example, the purpose of a software download application is to obtain approval for downloading genuine software. The software download application should include: the applicant, the department to which they belong, the physical identification of the device where the application client is located, the name of the target software to be downloaded, and other relevant application information.

[0086] 102. Based on the software download application, a download code and an authorization code are allocated to the client.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the software download application, the server can manually review and approve it, or automatically review and approve it according to the pre-entered review and approval template. The purpose of the review and approval is mainly to verify the identity of the applicant and whether the purpose of the application is compliant. After the review and approval is passed, a download code and an authorization code are allocated to the client for this software download application. The download code is equivalent to the download authorization given to the installation package of the target software, and the authorization code is equivalent to the activation license given to the installed target software.

[0088] Specifically, the download code and authorization code may be distributed to the client in the form of a short message or by adding a verification link to an email.

[0089] 103. According to the download code, control the client to download the corresponding installation package from the designated software manager.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, this step can be but is not limited to using the download code in this way. For example, the client can only use the download code to download the installation package of the target software from the designated software manager. Specifically, for example, the download code can only be entered on the page of the designated software to obtain the web link for downloading the installation package. Otherwise, if the download source is not the designated software manager, even if the client obtains the relevant download address, it will be intercepted when executing the download operation and the client will not be allowed to download the relevant installation package.

[0091] 104. After the client completes the installation of the target software using the installation package, the target software is activated on the client according to the authorization code.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present invention, this step can be but is not limited to using the authorization code in this way. For example, although the main purpose of the authorization code is to activate the installed target software so that it can run normally, in an embodiment of the present invention, it can be further restricted that only when the client that previously initiated the software download application uses the authorization code, the installed target software will be allowed to be successfully activated. This can avoid the situation where a downloaded and installed target software is activated on multiple clients, thereby ensuring that the software download application proposed in step 101 can only implement subsequent software download and installation activation operations for the client that issued the software download application. Based on this, strict control over the use of genuine software by different clients in the intranet of enterprises and institutions is achieved.

[0093] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to using the software legalization management device on the server side to control the process of downloading, installing and activating the target software on the client side, the source of the legal software can be further managed, for example, the process of purchasing legal software is managed, which includes the steps of filling in, reviewing and recording. An exemplary explanation is as follows:

[0094] In the embodiment of the present invention, entry refers to the registration of information about the purchase of legitimate software within an enterprise or institution; review refers to checking the accuracy of the reported information after the legitimate software is registered; entry refers to the entry of the legitimate software purchase information after the review is passed. These steps can be implemented through the user interface provided by the server.

[0095] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for managing software legalization. In the embodiment of the present invention, for the software that needs to be installed within an enterprise or institution, a software download application needs to be submitted, so that download codes and authorization codes are allocated to different clients according to the software download application. The download code is used to control the client to download the corresponding installation package from the designated software manager. After the client completes the installation of the designated software using the installation package, the authorization code is used to control the activation of the designated software on the client, thereby ensuring that the software used in the enterprise or institution is genuine. Compared with the prior art, the technical problem of being unable to monitor and manage the legalization of all software assets within an enterprise or institution is solved. The embodiment of the present invention uses download codes and authorization codes to constrain the software installed within the enterprise or institution, automatically realizes the monitoring and management of the legalization of software assets within the enterprise or institution, and ensures the legalization of software applications.

[0096] In order to explain the above embodiment in more detail, the embodiment of the present invention also provides another software legalization management method, such as Figure 2 As shown, this method is a detailed explanation of the above embodiment, and this embodiment of the present invention provides the following specific steps:

[0097] 201. Receive a software download application submitted by a client.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present invention, the explanation of this step is shown in step 101, which will not be described again here.

[0099] 202. According to the software download application, a download code and an authorization code are allocated to the client.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present invention, the detailed explanation of this step includes the following:

[0101] First, the target software identifier and the first device identifier corresponding to the device where the client is located are parsed from the application information carried in the software download application.

[0102] According to the embodiment of the present invention, there may be multiple clients in the intranet of an enterprise or institution that need to download the target software, but each client is located on a different device. Then, these clients can be distinguished using device identifiers based on the mapping relationship between the client and the device.

[0103] It should be noted that in order to distinguish the device identifier mentioned in the download application submission stage from the device identifier mentioned in other subsequent stages (such as the subsequent verification download request stage and verification activation request stage), it is referred to as the first device identifier here.

[0104] Secondly, based on the software download application, a download code is randomly generated; and based on the target software identifier, an authorization code corresponding to the target software is obtained.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present invention, the download code and the authorization code are issued for a specified software download application. The download code can be randomly generated, and the authorization code is carried by the purchased original software.

[0106] Furthermore, a mapping relationship among the first device identifier, the download code and the authorization code is established and stored, and then the download code and the authorization code are sent to the client.

[0107] For the embodiment of the present invention, before the download code and authorization code are allocated to the client, a mapping relationship between the device identification, the download code and the authorization code can also be established. The mapping relationship further illustrates that the download code and the authorization code are allocated and issued only for a one-time software download application. The mapping relationship can be further used to verify the download request stage and the activation request stage.

[0108] 203. According to the download code, control the client to download the corresponding installation package from the designated software manager.

[0109] The designated software manager can be installed in the software legalization management device of the server, or in other servers, but needs to interact with the software legalization management device. Specifically, the mapping relationship obtained in step 202 is synchronized to the designated software manager.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present invention, this step can be explained in detail as follows:

[0111] First, a download request for downloading target software is received, where the download request carries a second device identifier corresponding to the device where the client that initiates the download request is located.

[0112] Secondly, according to the download request, a prompt message for inputting a download code is sent to the client that initiates the download request. After receiving the download code to be verified input by the client that initiates the download request, it is verified whether there is a download code identical to the download code to be verified in the mapping relationship.

[0113] The mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the first device identifier, the download code and the authorization code corresponding to the client that initiates the software download application, which is established and stored in the download application submission stage.

[0114] Furthermore, if there is a download code that is the same as the download code to be verified in the verification mapping relationship, the first device identifier corresponding to the download code is obtained according to the mapping relationship, and it is determined whether the second device identifier is the same as the first device identifier, that is, whether the device corresponding to the source of the download request and the device that initiates the software download application are the same.

[0115] If it is determined that the second device identifier is the same as the first device identifier, the download request is verified to be passed, and the installation package corresponding to the target software is sent to the client that initiated the download request, wherein the installation package is obtained from the designated software manager.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the download request and the previously initiated software download application are from the same device, the download request is verified to be passed, that is, the installation package corresponding to the target software is allowed to be downloaded from the designated software manager.

[0117] In the above, the embodiment of the present invention adopts a dual verification operation of the download code and the device identifier, the purpose of which is to further illustrate that even if the download code passes the verification, it is also necessary to ensure that only the client to which the download code is assigned is allowed to download the installation package, so as to avoid the situation where other clients get the download code and download the installation package from the designated software manager.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present invention, by verifying the download code and verifying the device identification, it is still to ensure that for each software download application, only the client that initiates the software download application can download the installation package, avoiding the situation where multiple clients use the same download code to download the same installation package, thereby facilitating strict management and control of all clients within enterprises and institutions.

[0119] 204. After the client completes the installation of the target software using the installation package, activation of the target software on the client is controlled according to the authorization code.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present invention, this step can be explained in detail as follows:

[0121] First, an activation request for the target software is received, where the activation request carries a third device identifier corresponding to the device where the client that initiates the activation request is located.

[0122] Secondly, according to the activation request, a prompt message for inputting the authorization code is sent to the client that initiated the activation request. After receiving the authorization code to be verified input by the client that initiated the activation request, it is determined whether there is an authorization code identical to the authorization code to be verified in the mapping relationship.

[0123] The mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the first device identifier, the download code and the authorization code corresponding to the client that initiates the software download application, which is established and stored in the download application submission stage.

[0124] Furthermore, if it is determined that there is an authorization code in the mapping relationship that is the same as the authorization code to be verified, then according to the mapping relationship, the first device identifier corresponding to the authorization code is obtained, and it is determined whether the third device identifier is the same as the first device identifier, that is, whether the device corresponding to the source of the activation request and the device that initiates the software download application are the same.

[0125] If it is determined that the third device identifier is the same as the first device identifier, the activation request is verified to complete the activation operation on the installed target software at the client that initiates the activation request.

[0126] In the embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the activation request and the previously initiated software download application are from the same device, the activation request is verified to be passed, that is, activation of the target software installed on the client is allowed.

[0127] In the above, the embodiment of the present invention adopts the dual verification operation of the download code and the device identification, the purpose of which is to further illustrate that even if the authorization code passes the verification, it is still necessary to ensure that only the client to which the authorization code is assigned is allowed to complete the corresponding activation operation, so as to avoid other clients obtaining the authorization code and activating and running the target software.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present invention, by verifying the authorization code and verifying the device identification, it is still to ensure that for each software download application, only the client that initiates the software download application can activate and run the corresponding target software, avoiding the situation where multiple clients use the same authorization code to activate the target software, thereby facilitating strict management and control of all clients within enterprises and institutions.

[0129] As described above, in combination with steps 203 and 204, the embodiment of the present invention implements strict control over the use of legalized software by multiple clients in enterprises and institutions from the two aspects of downloading the installation package and activating the installed target software.

[0130] 205. Determine whether the authorization code of the software installed on the device is the authorization code recorded in the preset genuine software library.

[0131] 206. If the authorization code of the software installed on the device is not the authorization code recorded in the preset genuine software library, an alarm message is triggered.

[0132] In the embodiment of the present invention, for steps 205-206, in addition to using the software legalization management device on the server side to control the process of downloading, installing and activating the target software on the client side, the embodiment of the present invention also monitors and manages the use of legal software, for example, whether the software authorization code installed on the monitoring device is the authorization code recorded in the preset legal software library, and the preset legal software library records the authorization codes of all legal software purchased by enterprises and institutions, then through comparison, each software on the client side can be authenticated, if not, then the software source is not genuine, then the alarm information should be triggered in time, and accordingly, the server side can receive the alarm information and take management measures immediately.

[0133] Furthermore, the authorization codes recorded in the preset genuine software library can also be used to count the usage of different types of genuine software. For example, according to the authorization codes recorded in the preset genuine software library, count which authorization codes have been issued, and then determine the number of genuine software used. Furthermore, the situation that the authorization code of a certain genuine software recorded in the preset genuine software library has been issued can be compared with the same type of software currently being monitored in enterprises and institutions. If the number of authorization codes that have been issued is inconsistent with the number of software of the same type being used in the intranet, it is preliminarily determined that the type of software is pirated and an alarm message should also be triggered.

[0134] Furthermore, as a response to the above Figure 1 , Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention provides a software legalization management device.
