Abstract:
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing software licensing management and authentication. In various examples, a computing system might receive a request for an unlock code for a requested service from a user using a client device on which a first software is executed, the request comprising a generated unique identifier associated with the requested service and/or the first software. The generated unique identifier comprises licensing information associated with the requested service and/or the first software. In response to receiving the generated unique identifier, the computing system might determine whether the user should have access to the requested service using the first software based at least in part on the licensing information. If so, the computing system might generate an unlock code associated with the requested service using the first software, might deduct cost associated with the licensing information, and might send the unlock code to the user.
