摘要:
A License Management Apparatus, see FIG. 2. Each Audio Object (AOB) is put in correspondence with a Migrate Permission Flag (MPF) which is set to ON to show that a migration procedure is permitted. When a Right Management Information (RMI) does not exist for an AOB the MPF is set to OFF to show that a migration procedure is not permitted.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus that acquires a license from a license server (601) and installs application software permitted by the license and executable by a virtual server (302, 402) that operates on the information processing apparatus determines a license type of the application software according to whether the license type is in a unit of the information processing apparatus unit or in a unit of the virtual server (302, 402), transmits the license type to the license server (601), and acquires a license to execute the application software from the license server (601).
摘要:
A management method is disclosed for managing license information indicating an allowed amount of usage of a program executable on a peripheral device or a function provided by the peripheral device. The method includes the steps of acquiring, from the outside, license identification information for identifying license information, and license information indicating an amount of a change in right of usage of the program, managing license identification information corresponding to license information that has already been installed, determining whether license identification information corresponding to license information is included in license identification information managed in the management step, and performing operation such that if it is determined in the determination step that the license identification information corresponding to the license information is included in the license identification information managed in the management step, changing the value of the already-installed right of usage of the program by an amount equal to a change in the right of usage of the program.
摘要:
A license management server generates a license including information about update confirmation date and usage period. An image forming apparatus tries to communicate with the license management server until the usage period elapses since the update confirmation date.

A system for managing a Digital Rights Management (DRM) content includes a content providing server for providing an environment, through which a DRM content and a digital right of the DRM content can be registered, a service providing server for issuing a license serving as a usage authority for each of DRM content files provided from the content providing server, generating a license revocation execution value in a specific field of the issued license, encrypting the generated license revocation execution value for transmission to a user terminal, and the user terminal for inspecting the license of the DRM content file transmitted from the service providing server, and extracting and storing the license and the license revocation execution value to use a corresponding DRM content file according to the license, and upon receiving a revocation request, transmitting a revocation result of the corresponding license to the service providing server.
摘要:
A management apparatus (FIG. 1) stores pairs of copyrighted contents and numbers of permitted check-outs. On being requested to perform check-out for a semiconductor memory card, the management apparatus records an audio object (AOB) corresponding to a content in the semiconductor memory card, assigns a content ID to the AOB, and decrement a corresponding number of permitted check-outs. An editing and playback apparatus edits the AOB and assigns a content ID, which is the same as the content ID of the original AOB, to each new AOB obtained by the editing. A local storage holds history information including a media ID and the content ID assigned to the original AOB. On being requested to perform check-in for the semiconductor memory card, the management apparatus sets, in a non-playable state, the AOB assigned a content ID that is the same as the content ID in the history information and increments the number of permitted check-outs.
摘要:
A certificate for a target device includes encrypted system attributes that are verified against attributes of the target device prior to software usage. A certificate server securely obtains system attributes from the target system and generates a certificate with encrypted components including some system attributes. The certificate is stored on the target device and software installation/execution is made dependent on validation of the certificate. An encrypted system fingerprint in the certificate is decrypted by the software at the target device and compared with locally obtained system attributes to verify authorization for software usage on the target device. The certificate represents an easy to use paradigm for anti-piracy protection of software.
