[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of software authorization, and in particular to an offline activation authorization method and device, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Closed-source software manufacturers often protect their own interests through license files. The license file is bound to the user's device (device fingerprint), making it impossible to illegally use it by copying the license file. At the same time, the license contains the manufacturer's signature (using a non-public private key) to prevent the license from being tampered with. In order to use the software, users need to generate a unique license file for the device through the activation process so that they can use the software normally.

[0003] The activation process can be done online or by importing the license offline. The offline process includes:

[0004] 1. Get fingerprint from the device

[0043] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] In this disclosure, in order to implement the offline activation authorization method, it is necessary to design a portable medium, which is generally a USB interface device, such as UKEY, which is called an offline activation device in this disclosure. The structure and implementation principle of the offline activation device are as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0045] It should be noted that the offline activation device includes at least variables such as private key, authorization number and activation password. At the same time, the offline activation device provides two types of interfaces to the outside world, one is the authorization interface for device authorization; the other is the activation interface for activating the software.

[0046] Figure 2 The following is a flow chart of an offline activation authorization method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0047] Step 201: Detect whether the offline activation device that has completed authorization is plugged into the target device, where the target device refers to the device on which the software to be authorized runs;

[0048] In this step, it is necessary to first detect whether the offline activation device that has completed authorization is plugged into the device where the software to be authorized is running.

[0049] In one embodiment, before detecting whether the authorized offline activation device is plugged into the target device, the method further includes:

[0050] Use the private key to open the authorization session page, where the private key is stored on the license issuance server;

[0051] In one embodiment, using the private key to open the authorization session page includes:

[0052] Inserting the offline activation device into the license issuing server, and opening the authorization session page through the private key stored in the license issuing server;

[0053] In this embodiment, the staff of the software licensing manufacturer plugs the offline activation device into the license issuing server and opens the authorization session page through the private key stored in the license issuing server. The private key is usually a unique private key issued by the license issuing server.

[0054] The authorization number and authorization password of the offline activation device are set on the authorization session page according to preset requirements, so that the offline activation device becomes an offline activation device that has completed authorization.

[0055] In this embodiment, the authorization number and authorization password of the offline activation device are set on the authorization session page according to the preset requirements, so that the offline activation device becomes an offline activation device that has completed authorization. For example, if the user pre-purchases software authorization for 40 devices, the authorization number is set to 40. After setting the authorization number and authorization password of the offline activation device, the authorization session page is closed.

[0056] Step 202: If the authorized offline activation device is plugged into the target device, an activation session authentication page is started, where the activation session authentication page is used to input and verify the authorization password.

[0057] In this step, if it is determined that the authorized offline activation device is plugged into the target device, the activation session authentication page is started to enter and verify the authorization password through the activation session authentication page. If the entered authorization password is correct, proceed to the next step. If the entered authorization password is incorrect, close the activation session authentication page.

[0058] Specifically, the user (usually a staff member of the software licensing manufacturer, but can also be handed over to the user's staff to complete) plugs the authorized offline activation device into the device where the software to be authorized is running. After that, the system starts the authentication page of the activation session, and the user enters the activation session by entering the password.

[0059] Step 203: After the authorization password is verified, the verification information of the target device is obtained and submitted to the offline activation device that has completed the authorization, and the verification information is used to request the offline activation device that has completed the authorization to activate the software to be authorized; wherein the verification information of the target device can be a fingerprint of the target device.

[0060] In this step, after the authorization password is verified, the obtained verification information of the target device is submitted to the offline activation device that has completed the authorization, that is, the USB interface device, to request activation of the software to be authorized.

[0061] Step 204: When it is determined that the number of authorizations of the offline activation device that has completed authorization is not 0, a signed license is returned to the software to be authorized, and the software to be authorized is activated.

[0062] In this step, the activation process is judged based on the number of authorizations. If it is determined that the number of authorizations of the offline activation device that has completed authorization is not 0, the signature license is returned, the activated signature license is used to activate the software to be authorized, and the activation session page is closed.

[0063] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0064] The authorization number of the offline activated device that has completed authorization is reduced by 1.

[0065] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the authorization number of the offline activation device that has completed authorization is not 0, a signature license is returned for the software to be authorized, and the authorization number of the offline activation device that has completed authorization is reduced by 1.

[0066] In one embodiment, the method comprises:

[0067] When it is determined that the number of authorizations for the offline activated device that has completed authorization is 0, an error message is returned to the software to be authorized.

[0068] It can be understood that the authorization program in this embodiment is used to activate the software, that is, to generate a license, and is executed in the software running system, that is, the device where the software to be authorized runs. After the staff completes the authorization of the offline activation device in the license issuance server, they bring the offline activation device to the user's location to execute the software activation process.
