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.

Abstract: A system and method of automating and monitoring a license application in a license application module for a telecommunication network. The method including triggering, in response to completion of construction of a base station in the telecommunication network, generation of a license application in the license application module. The method including reviewing of the license application in the license application module to determine compliance with a criterion of a third-party. The method including exporting of the license application from a database in the license application module in a format compatible to be received at an external database by the third-party. The method including receiving, by the carrier, of the license application from the third-party. The method including triggering, in response to an approval of the license application by the third-party, activation of the base station such that a subscriber of the carrier is able to access the telecommunication network.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques for an IoT shell are provided. A system includes an internet of things (IoT) device, a database, and a license manager. The database may include one or more sets of authorized licenses, each set of authorized licenses associated with a respective vendor software. The license manager may be in communication with the IoT device and the database, and further include a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by the processor. The license manager may be configured to receive a request to reserve a license for a first vendor software, determine an availability of the license associated with the first vendor software, register a unique identifier of the IoT device in association with the license, and grant the license to the IoT device.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for implementing a blockchain to manage license compatibility. The techniques include parsing a code segment in a version of source code based on one or more parsing parameters, wherein the code segment is associated with a transaction and distributed under a license. Thereafter, one or more blocks are inserted onto a blockchain distributed ledger recording the transaction. Upon receiving an updated version of the source code comprising a change to at least one code segment associated with a new transaction, additional blocks are inserted onto the ledger recording the new transaction. Based at least on the transaction recorded in the blocks, the license associated with the version of the source code is identified. Additionally, a flag may indicate license incompatibility with the license if the change to at least one code segment associated with the new transaction violates a license restriction of the identified license.

Abstract: Aspirating detector device functionality licensing is described herein. One system includes an aspirating detector device configured to display a machine-readable code via an interface responsive to an input and a mobile device configured to scan the code, establish a connection with a remove server responsive thereto, and receive a license key corresponding to an aspirating detector device functionality from the remote server via the connection and wherein the aspirating detector device is configured to enable the functionality responsive to an entry of the code via the interface.

Abstract: A new approach is proposed to support software validation and licensing management. An instance of a software component deployed to a physical computing device is configured to request a copy of license of the software component from a license server out-of-band before the software component can be installed and/or booted up on the physical computing device. Upon receiving a request for the copy of license from the instance of the software component, the license server is configured to grant or deny the request based on the current number of copies of license of the software component available. If the request is granted, the instance of the software component is booted up on the physical computing device. During its operation, the instance of the software component continues to communicate with the license server periodically to indicate whether the copy of license assigned by the server is still in use.

Abstract: A method for preventing digital content misuse can include detecting, by a client-side computing device, that the client-side computing device is paired to a viewing device such that, after being paired, the client-side computing device can cause digital content received from a remote server to be presented on a display of the viewing device; after detecting that the client-side computing device is paired to the viewing device, detecting, by the client-side computing device, that the client-side computing device has been unpaired from the viewing device; and in response to detecting that the client-side computing device has been unpaired from the viewing device, executing a remedial action.
