    摘要: The Alpha II installation architecture requires extra management of per-seat installations to ensure the games are only installed with as many instances as were sold to the site. The License Management method manages and enforces proper per-license activation since a mechanism is present on the gaming machines to copy the software which is sold on compact flashes and installed onto hard drives. A method for providing license management using an activation application to manage and enforce proper per-license activation is disclosed. The method includes: adding purchased game titles to an active license database; requesting activation installations for game titles that are desired to be activated on associated gaming machines; creating activation installations on a portable memory device that associates the activation installations with associated gaming machines; enabling software to be installed onto each machine which the software is inserted using the portable memory device; enabling return of the portable memory device to the activation application where the portable memory device is read, after completion of the gaming machines being updated; and passing the current snapshot and confirmation data to a central licensing host to confirm the activation installations and free any uninstalled software licenses.

    摘要: The license manager provides an automated process that reduces the need for human interaction associated with licensing components, distribution of the same, product distribution, debugging, product building, assembly, installation, configuration and maintenance. In addition, there is an interface for use by regulators that allows the regulators to test and to receive notifications from the license manager. Finally, there is a third party interface to facilitate equipment add-ons to the system. The license management system provides enablement/disablement of software products, generation and maintenance of accounting records, and logs for licenses that are generated and distributed throughout the system. An audit trail is also created that includes who authorized the purchase of the license, as well as audit trails relating to different system levels to verify system security. Finally, a change notification system provides for the control of any changes to the system and monitors these changes on a multi-tiered level within the system.
