[0052] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this application more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0053] Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Numerous specific details are provided in the following description to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this application can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, apparatuses, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known methods, apparatuses, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this application.

[0054] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0055] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor do they necessarily have to be performed in the described order. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, while others can be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0056] In enterprise environments, many server-side software programs use licensing to protect their copyright and prevent unauthorized use. However, these programs are typically deployed in internal enterprise server rooms, inaccessible to the external internet. Therefore, licenses are usually linked to the server's MAC address. Consequently, after a period of deployment and licensing, if the enterprise wants to migrate the software to a different server, the original license often becomes invalid, requiring re-licensing for the new server software. This significantly wastes time and hinders the use of the software by maintenance personnel.

[0057] For software designed for internet access scenarios, deployment often introduces additional workload and risks. For example, it may require temporarily granting internet access to the server during authorization and then disabling it afterwards, increasing workload and wasting migration time. Alternatively, some solutions involve reapplying for license files during migration, but this ignores the management of expired licenses on the original server, often leading to license abuse—expired software remaining in use.

[0058] Therefore, there is currently no software migration method that can effectively improve migration efficiency and reduce migration time. For server-side software located in an enterprise's internal data center, which is not connected to the external internet, migration requires the process of invalidating and re-authorizing existing licenses, wasting time. For server-side software that accesses the internet, internet access to the server needs to be temporarily granted during authorization and then revoked afterward, which increases workload and risk, also wasting migration time.

[0059] This application addresses this problem by proposing a method, apparatus, medium, and electronic device for migrating server-side software licenses, which can solve the aforementioned issues.

[0060] A database, simply put, can be viewed as an electronic filing cabinet—a place to store electronic files, where users can perform operations such as adding, querying, updating, and deleting data. A "database" is a collection of data stored together in a certain way, capable of being shared by multiple users, with minimal redundancy, and independent of application programs.

[0061] A Database Management System (DBMS) is a computer software system designed to manage databases, generally possessing basic functions such as storage, retrieval, security, and backup. DBMSs can be classified according to the database model they support, such as relational or XML (Extensible Markup Language); or according to the type of computer they support, such as server clusters or mobile devices; or according to the query language used, such as SQL (Structured Query Language) or XQuery; or according to performance priorities, such as maximum scale or maximum operating speed; or other classification methods. Regardless of the classification method used, some DBMSs can cross categories, for example, simultaneously supporting multiple query languages.

[0062] Server-side software also needs to utilize a database to run. As part of the database, the server-side software often needs to be migrated during its use. However, during the migration process, the existing server will waste a lot of migration time and affect the operation and maintenance terminal's use of the software.

[0063] Figure 1 An exemplary system architecture block diagram illustrating the application of the technical solution of this application is shown schematically.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture 100 may include an operation and maintenance terminal 110, a network 120, and a server 130. The operation and maintenance terminal 110 may include various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. The server 130 includes a pending authorization server 131 and an authorized server 132 corresponding to the server-side software. Both the pending authorization server 131 and the authorized server 132 can be independent physical servers, server clusters or distributed systems composed of multiple physical servers, or cloud servers providing cloud computing services. The network 120 can be a communication medium of various connection types capable of establishing a communication link with the operation and maintenance terminal 110, such as a wired communication link or a wireless communication link.

[0065] Depending on the implementation requirements, the system architecture in this application embodiment can have any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers. For example, server 130 can be a server group composed of multiple server devices. In addition, the technical solutions provided in this application embodiment can be applied to terminal device 110, or to server 130, or can be implemented jointly by terminal device 110 and server 130. This application does not impose any special limitations on this.

[0066] The server in this application can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The maintenance terminal can be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, smart speaker, smartwatch, etc., but is not limited to these. The maintenance terminal and the server can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, which is not limited herein.

[0067] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, this application provides a license migration method, which is used for operation and maintenance terminals, such as... Figure 2 Flowchart and Figure 3 The logic diagram includes:

[0068] Step S1: Obtain the authorization migration file carrying authorization application information through the internal local area network. The authorization application information includes the authorization information to be approved and the server address.

[0069] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for obtaining an authorization migration file carrying authorization application information includes:

[0070] A migration authorization request is initiated to the server to be authorized via the internal local area network, so that the server to be authorized sends the migration authorization request to the authorized server.

[0071] Obtain the approved authorized migration file returned by the authorized server.

[0072] This step is specifically required for server-side software license migration based on server communication verification. The maintenance terminal first initiates a migration authorization request to the server to be authorized via the internal LAN. This causes the server to send the request to the authorized server. Then, the maintenance terminal receives the approved migration authorization file returned by the authorized server. In other words, the request is initiated by the server to be authorized, and the returned migration authorization file directly reaches the maintenance terminal. This step involves communication verification between the authorized server and the server to be authorized. Because of this communication verification, the migration authorization file in this step naturally includes the authorization information and address of the authorized server and the server to be authorized, respectively.

[0073] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, the authorization migration file includes an authorization application file and an authorization license verification file, and the method for obtaining the authorization migration file carrying authorization application information includes:

[0074] Obtain the authorization request file sent by the server to be authorized, wherein the authorization request file includes the authorization information of the server to be authorized and the address of the server to be authorized pending approval;

[0075] Initiate a server change request to the authorized server;

[0076] Obtain the authorization verification document sent by the authorized server, which includes the authorization information of the authorized server pending approval and the address of the authorized server.

[0077] This step describes the method used for server-side software license migration based on license file verification. Because this migration does not involve communication between the licensed server and the server to be licensed, but rather changes are made through the operations and maintenance terminal, the terminal needs to obtain the license application documents and license verification documents for both the server to be licensed and the licensed server. In this step, the license application documents and license verification documents together form the license migration file. This file includes the license information and address of both the server to be licensed and the licensed server, facilitating the operations and maintenance terminal to perform the corresponding license migration based on the file.

[0078] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, the authorization information includes setting an authorization period and an authorization type, and the server address includes the MAC address of an authorized server and the MAC address of a new service.

[0079] The entire operation in step S1 is carried out within the company's internal LAN and is not connected to the external Internet. That is, neither the server to be authorized nor the authorized server for which the company needs to migrate the server-side software license is connected to the Internet. Step S1 can avoid the need to switch the Internet access permissions of the server when the existing server-side software license migration accesses the Internet. In other words, it enables the work of disconnecting or connecting the server to the Internet or the authorized server, which would bring additional workload and risks. Step S1 of this application effectively solves this problem.

[0080] However, for a server-side software license migration, the migration file alone is insufficient; a new license file, generated after the migration and approval process, is also required to activate the server to be licensed. The specific steps to obtain this file are as follows:

[0081] Step S2: Obtain the authorization and license document carrying authorization and license information via the external Internet, wherein the authorization and license information includes the approved authorization information and the server address;

[0082] Compared to the authorization migration document, the authorization license document is actually a document that has been approved by the authorization terminal after being submitted to the license management terminal. Both documents contain basic information such as authorization information and server address.

[0083] Obtaining the license documents is relatively complicated because the authorization must be verified through the authorization terminal. However, since the server to be authorized and the authorized server for the server software license migration in this application are not connected to the Internet, it is necessary to use the operation and maintenance terminal for processing.

[0084] The authorization file is an activation file for cluster migration that is generated and returned to the operations and maintenance terminal after the operation and maintenance terminal submits an authorization migration application to the authorization management terminal after accessing the Internet. The authorization management terminal requests the authorization terminal to approve the application. The final authorization can only be completed by submitting the application to the authorization management terminal on the Internet and being approved by the authorization terminal.

[0085] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, obtaining an authorization license document carrying authorization information includes:

[0086] Send an authorization migration file to the license management terminal; the license management terminal reads the authorization application information from the authorization migration file;

[0087] The authorization license file generated by the license management terminal is received. The method for generating the authorization license file includes: the license management terminal sending an authorization application information to the authorization terminal in the form of an approval form; the authorization terminal approving the approval form; and after approval, the authorization terminal authorizing the license management terminal to generate an authorization license file.

[0088] In other words, the license file is a file received by the operation and maintenance terminal from the license management terminal. This file is generated after the license migration file is submitted to the license management terminal and the authorization terminal on the Internet for approval.

[0089] The authorization information in step S2 also includes setting the authorization period and authorization type, and the server address includes the MAC address of the authorized server and the MAC address of the new service.

[0090] Setting the authorization period refers to setting the authorization period for the server-side software on the server to be authorized. This can be in units of years or months. The authorization type can include authorization for a company as a whole, which can be used by the entire group, or authorization for an individual. Different types can be set for different subjects or content.

[0091] S3: Through the internal LAN, perform authorization activation on the server to be authorized according to the authorization license file, and perform authorization invalidation on the already authorized server.

[0092] Step S3 implements the license migration of the service cluster. Specifically, the migration method is performed within the internal LAN, activating the license on the server to be authorized based on the license file, and deactivating the license on the already authorized server. That is, the migration process still occurs within the internal network, activating the license on the server to be authorized and deactivating the license on the already authorized server. Based on the approved authorization information and server address on the license file, the MAC address of the already authorized server, as well as the corresponding license type and duration, can be obtained. The maintenance terminal directly authorizes the information on the server to be authorized using this information, while simultaneously deactivating the license on the already authorized server, thus completing the migration of the server-side software from the already authorized server (the old server) to the server to be authorized (the new server).

[0093] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, authorization invalidation processing is performed on an authorized server, including:

[0094] The authorization activation process is performed on the server to be authorized, so that the server to be authorized sends the authorization invalidation process to the authorized server.

[0095] Receive the activation result sent by the server to be authorized, the activation result including the invalidation result sent by the authorized server to the server to be authorized.

[0096] This step corresponds to the steps required for migrating server-side software licenses based on server communication verification. Since there is a communication verification process between the authorized server and the server to be authorized, the license invalidation process is initiated by the server to be authorized (the new server) to the authorized server (the old server). After initiation, the authorized server will send the invalidation result to the server to be authorized, and the server to be authorized will send the invalidation result and the entire authorization result to the operation and maintenance terminal. In this way, the operation and maintenance terminal can know whether the server-side software license migration has been completed from the authorized server (old server) to the server to be authorized (new server).

[0097] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, authorization expiration processing on an authorized server includes: initiating a scheduled task to the authorized server via an internal local area network to indicate that the authorization has expired.

[0098] This step describes the method used for migrating server-side software licenses based on license file verification. Because for server-side software license migration based on license file verification, the authorized server and the server to be authorized do not communicate with each other, but are changed through the operation and maintenance terminal, the instruction for the authorized server in this step is issued by the operation and maintenance terminal. It needs to start a scheduled task for license expiration on the authorized server through the internal LAN. The specific time of the scheduled task for license expiration can be set to a specific time, or it can be set to automatically expire the license on the authorized server after the server to be authorized has been activated and the result shows as successful.

[0099] Therefore, both steps above can effectively invalidate the licenses of already authorized servers, avoiding the problem of license abuse caused by neglecting to manage expired licenses during migration. Furthermore, this application does not affect users' use of the server-side software during the entire license migration process. Before the license migration, the server to be authorized has not yet been activated, so the already authorized server will not be invalidated, and users can still use it normally. Only after the server-side software license migration is complete, i.e., after the server to be authorized has been successfully activated, will the already authorized server be invalidated. Therefore, the server-side software license migration process in this application will not affect normal user use, nor will it lead to license abuse.

[0100] The following will further illustrate the content of this application through two specific application examples.

[0101] In practical implementation and application, server-side software mainly falls into two categories: one is server-side software for server communication verification, and the other is server-side software based on authorization files for verification. The main difference between the two is that the former, server-side software for server communication verification, requires communication between the server to be authorized and the authorized server, while the latter, server-side software based on authorization files, achieves communication directly through the operation and maintenance terminal, without requiring communication between the server to be authorized and the authorized server. Therefore, their specific application methods differ. The following embodiments will illustrate these differences.

[0102] In one embodiment of this application, a method for migrating server software licenses for server communication verification is disclosed.

[0103] The server-side software for server communication verification has been deployed and running in the enterprise for some time. It now needs to be migrated from the authorized server to the pending authorization server. To ensure that the authorization is migrated from the authorized server to the pending authorization server without an internet connection and to ensure that business operations are not interrupted for an extended period, this application proposes the following technical solution to address these issues.

[0104] A license migration method, such as Figure 4 Flowcharts and Figure 5 The logic diagram shown in the figure includes:

[0105] Step S1-1: Deploy the server to be authorized, and initiate a "migrate authorization from authorized server cluster" application to the authorization management module of the server to be authorized. At the same time, the server to be authorized initiates a server change application to the authorized server.

[0106] The application includes the IP address or domain name information of the authorized server; while the authorization management module is a management module for receiving and sending server information on the server to be authorized, which can effectively manage the authorization information of the server to be authorized.

[0107] like Figure 6 The diagram shown illustrates the deployment of a server to be authorized in one embodiment of this application. The monitor of the maintenance terminal displays the information about the server to be authorized. The maintenance terminal can complete the deployment of the server to be authorized by entering the address of the server to be authorized (i.e., the new server deployment address in the diagram) into the field for the server to be authorized. This deployment is performed within an internal local area network.

[0108] Step S1-2: Access the authorized server, approve and confirm the received "Migration Authorization from Authorized Server Cluster" application, and obtain the authorization migration file after approval.

[0109] like Figure 7 The diagram illustrates accessing an authorized server in one embodiment of this application. The monitor of the maintenance terminal displays authorization migration information from the service cluster. This information includes the MAC address and IP address of the authorized server. The maintenance terminal can obtain the authorization migration file by modifying the information on the authorized server. The authorization application information includes pending authorization information and server addresses. Therefore, the authorization migration file in this step naturally includes the pending authorization information and address of the authorized server, as well as the pending authorization information and address of the server to be authorized.

[0110] Steps S1-3: Access the Internet, access the license management terminal, submit the license migration application, and submit the license migration document as an attachment to the license management terminal.

[0111] like Figure 8 The diagram shown is a schematic of an access license management terminal according to an embodiment of this application. The required information is displayed on the monitor of the operation and maintenance terminal. The operation and maintenance terminal submits the license migration approval process to the license management terminal by filling in basic information and attaching the license migration file.

[0112] Step S1-4: Receive the authorization license file from the license management terminal. The authorization license information includes approved authorization information and the server address. That is, compared to the authorization migration file, the authorization license file is an approved document. The specific method by which the management terminal generates the authorization license file is as follows:

[0113] The license management terminal will read the authorization information and server address from the authorization migration file, and then combine this information into an approval form and give it to the authorization terminal, which will then review the information.

[0114] like Figure 9 The diagram shown is a schematic of an approval form according to an embodiment of this application. The authorized terminal can quickly obtain migration information through the approval form, which specifically includes information about the authorized server (the old server in the diagram), the server to be authorized (the new authorized server in the diagram), the type of authorization, and the duration of the authorization. The terminal then approves or rejects the application based on the approval form. If approved, the authorized terminal will authorize the license management terminal to generate an authorization license file.

[0115] like Figure 10 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the license information corresponding to the license document in one embodiment of this application. The information includes the specific information of the license document.

[0116] Steps 1-5: Through the internal LAN, perform authorization activation on the server to be authorized according to the authorization license file, and perform authorization invalidation on the already authorized server.

[0117] The operation and maintenance terminal performs authorization activation directly on the server to be authorized based on the authorization license file. After the activation process, the following steps are also included:

[0118] Send authorization expiration processing to the authorized server through the server to be authorized;

[0119] Receive the activation result sent by the server to be authorized;

[0120] The activation result includes the failure result sent by the authorized server to the server to be authorized, and the result of whether the server to be authorized was successfully activated.

[0121] This step allows the maintenance terminal to determine whether the migration of the server-side software has been completed.

[0122] Of the above steps, only steps S1-3 and S1-4 involve accessing the Internet; the other steps are all performed within the internal local area network.

[0123] This application applies to scenarios where server-side software is deployed in an area without internet access, and where authorized servers and unauthorized servers can communicate and authorize each other or directly obtain information. In other words, the authorized servers and unauthorized servers in this application communicate with each other.

[0124] In another embodiment of this application, this application discloses a method for migrating server-side software licenses based on license document verification.

[0125] The server-side software based on authorization file verification has been deployed and running in the enterprise for some time. It now needs to be migrated from the original server to a different server. The goal is to ensure that the authorization process can be completed without an internet connection, and that business operations are not interrupted for an extended period.

[0126] Based on the above-mentioned problems, this application discloses a license migration method, such as... Figure 11 Logic diagrams and Figure 12 The flowchart shown in the document includes:

[0127] Step S2-1: Deploy the server to be authorized through the company's internal LAN, initiate an application for "migration authorization from the old service cluster" to the authorization management module of the server to be authorized, and at the same time obtain the authorization application file sent by the server to be authorized. The authorization application file includes the authorization information of the server to be authorized and the address of the server to be authorized.

[0128] Step S2-2: Initiate a server change request to the authorized server, obtain the authorization verification document sent by the authorized server, the authorization verification document includes the authorization information of the authorized server to be approved and the address of the authorized server; and start the scheduled task for the authorized server to expire.

[0129] like Figure 13 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of accessing an authorized server in another embodiment of this application, illustrating information related to a server change application. The authorized migration file includes an authorized application file and an authorized license verification file. Specifically, the authorized application file includes the authorization information and address of the server to be authorized, pending approval; the authorized license verification file includes the authorization information and address of the already authorized server, pending approval. These two files provide the same migration information as the authorized migration file.

[0130] Step S2-3: Access the Internet, access the license management terminal, submit the license migration application, and submit the license migration document as an attachment to the license management terminal.

[0131] This step is similar to steps S1-3, so it will not be described again.

[0132] Step S2-4: Receive the authorization license file from the license management terminal. The authorization license information includes the approved authorization information and the server address. That is, compared to the authorization migration file, the authorization license file is the approved document. The specific method by which the management terminal generates the authorization license file is as follows:

[0133] The license management terminal will read the authorization information and server address from the authorization migration file, and then combine this information into an approval form and give it to the authorization terminal, which will then review the information.

[0134] This step is similar to steps S1-4, so it will not be described again.

[0135] Step S2-5: Through the internal local area network, perform authorization activation on the server to be authorized according to the authorization license file, and perform authorization invalidation on the already authorized server.

[0136] In this embodiment, the authorization expiration handling is accomplished by starting a scheduled task for authorization expiration on the authorized server in step S2-2. This step is for the method used for server-side software license migration based on authorization file verification. Because for server-side software license migration based on authorization file verification, the authorized server and the server to be authorized do not communicate with each other, but are changed through the operation and maintenance terminal. Therefore, the instruction for the authorized server in this step is issued by the operation and maintenance terminal, which needs to start a scheduled task for authorization expiration on the authorized server through the internal LAN. The specific time of the scheduled task for authorization expiration can be set to a specific time, or it can be set to automatically expire the authorization on the authorized server after the server to be authorized has been activated and the result shows success.

[0137] In this embodiment, the activation result is directly returned to the operation and maintenance terminal by the server to be deployed. This is because the process of handling the invalidation of the license on the authorized server has been completed by starting a scheduled task for the expired license on the authorized server. The operation and maintenance terminal can directly determine whether the license has expired based on the status of this task. Therefore, the above method can be used to complete the license migration of the server software based on the license file verification.

[0138] The following describes an apparatus embodiment of this application, which can be used to execute the license migration method in the above embodiments of this application.
