Abstract: A system and method for administering and managing software license certificates in a computer system, and in a fashion that centralizes the software license certificate management and which is not limited to handling the software products of a single licensor or vendor. The system enables obtaining a substantially complete listing of all available software licensing facilities and certificates in the computer system and further allows the entry of changes to licensing environments and rights to be dynamically and repeatedly modified to accommodate changing and evolving conditions. A license surveyor component automatically locates and identifies all license service and license certificates, and that information is stored in a license rights database. Other software components enable the system of the invention to communicate with remotely located vendors and licensors to obtain quotations and actually purchase and have delivered additional license certificates as needed by a changing and evolving computer system.

Abstract: A method and system is presented for a digital licensing scheme that separates the product license (154) from the digital file (100) containing the copyrightable material. According to the present invention, the files (100) can be downloaded from any server, and transferred from user (150) to user (150), even after the file (100) has been licensed. The present invention utilizes producer software (112) running on a vendor's computer, server software running on a computer provided by the license provider (130), and player software (152) operating on the user's computer. Digitally encrypted communication streams keep communications between the producer software (112), the license provider (130), and the player software (152) confidential. A software component running on the user's computer checks to make sure that the appropriate product license (154) has been purchased. This is accomplished by comparing the product ID (102) in the product license (154) with the product ID (102) contained in the product file (100). The software also checks that the user (150) seeking to play the product file (100) is the user (150) that actually paid for the license (154). This is accomplished by comparing the user ID (156) in the product license (154) with a user ID (156) in a user license (160). Finally, an operating system ID (162) found in the user license (160) is compared with the same information obtained from the currently running operating system, to ensure that the user license (160) was created for the currently operating computer.

Abstract translation: 提出了一种用于将产品许可证（154）与包含可版权材料的数字文件（100）分离的数字许可方案的方法和系统。 根据本发明，即使在文件（100）被许可之后，也可以从任何服务器下载文件（100）并从用户（150）传送到用户（150）。 本发明利用在供应商的计算机上运行的生产者软件（112），在由许可提供者（130）提供的计算机上运行的服务器软件以及在用户计算机上操作的玩家软件（152）。 数字加密的通信流保持生产者软件（112），许可证提供者（130）和玩家软件（152）之间的通信是机密的。 在用户计算机上运行的软件组件将检查以确保已购买相应的产品许可证（154）。 这是通过将产品许可证（154）中的产品ID（102）与产品文件（100）中包含的产品ID（102）进行比较来实现的。 软件还检查寻求播放产品文件（100）的用户（150）是实际支付许可证的用户（150）（154）。 这通过将产品许可证（154）中的用户ID（156）与用户许可证中的用户ID（156）进行比较来实现。 最后，将在用户许可证（160）中发现的操作系统ID（162）与从当前运行的操作系统获得的相同信息进行比较，以确保为当前操作的计算机创建了用户许可证（160）。

Abstract: Disclosed is a first subnetwork (2010) comprising a first child level hub node (2012) and a first child level monitor node (2014 or 2016). The first child level hub node is configured to communicate, via a parent level hub node (2040) in a network (2000), with a second child level hub node (2022) in another subnetwork (2020) connected to the network. The first child level monitor node is connected to a parent level monitor node (2050 or 2060) in the network and configured to selectively initiate termination of the communications between the first and second child level hub nodes. Each of the first and second child level hub modes has an encryptor. Strobing of each encryptor can be selectively initiated by the parent level monitor node.

Abstract: The registration servers are independent of software product manufacturers and open to all software manufacturers. On user computer, software product asks user software license control program whether the user has usage license for the software product. The user license control program checks the license file, which was received from a software registration server, and answers the software product. If the answer is "no", the software product stops running. If the answer is "yes", it continues. Said license file cannot be used by unauthorized user because said file is encrypted by the user public key and digital signed by the secret key of a software registration server. To use a license file, user needs the secret key of the user and needs passphrase to activate the secret key. The license file is digital signed by software registration server and cannot be modified by a user to add unauthorized license. There are 3 types of registration need to be done by user. User registration, CPU registration and software product usage license registration. User does user registration for himself once per person. After that, the user registers his CPU once per CPU. User registers software product usage license once per every product of specific CPU. On user registration, the user gets partial user-ID file from the software registration server. After receiving the partial user-ID file, user software license control program attaches public/secret key pair of the user and public key of the registration server of the user to the partial user-ID file. This user-ID file is essential in registering CPU and purchasing software product. The user-ID file is independent of any CPU and this file need to be copied to all of his CPUs. On CPU registration, user gets license file from software registration server. And the license file is updated every time the user purchases new software product or upgrades a software product. The software product information is added to the license file every time new product is purchased or a product is upgraded. Also because of expiration date, the license file is refreshed periodically. Software product usage license is given to a specific CPU of a specific user. The license file is dependent on a specific CPU. The license file is given to a specific CPU of a specific user. Both the user-ID file and license file is encrypted by user public key and digital signed by software registration server secret key. So, only the registration server can modify said files.

Abstract translation: 注册服务器独立于软件产品制造商，并向所有软件制造商开放。 在用户计算机上，软件产品询问用户软件许可证控制程序，无论用户是否具有软件产品的使用许可证。 用户许可证控制程序检查从软件注册服务器接收到的许可证文件，并回答软件产品。 如果答案是“否”，软件产品停止运行。 如果答案是“是”，它会继续。 所述许可证文件不能被未经授权的用户使用，因为所述文件由用户公钥加密，并且由软件注册服务器的秘密密钥签名。 要使用许可证文件，用户需要用户的密钥，并需要密码才能激活密钥。 许可证文件由软件注册服务器进行数字签名，用户无法修改，以添加未经授权的许可。 用户需要注册3种注册类型。 用户注册，CPU注册和软件产品使用许可证注册。 用户每个人自己登录一次。 之后，用户每CPU注册一次。 用户每个特定CPU的每个产品都注册软件产品使用许可证一次。 在用户注册时，用户从软件注册服务器获取部分用户ID文件。 用户软件许可证控制程序在接收到部分用户ID文件之后，将用户的注册服务器的用户的公开/秘密密钥对以及部分用户ID文件附加到用户ID。 此用户ID文件对于注册CPU和购买软件产品至关重要。 用户ID文件与任何CPU无关，此文件需要复制到其所有CPU。 在CPU注册时，用户从软件注册服务器获取许可证文件。 并且每当用户购买新的软件产品或升级软件产品时，许可证文件都会被更新。 每当购买新产品或升级产品时，都会将软件产品信息添加到许可证文件中。 同时由于到期日期，许可证文件会定期刷新。 软件产品使用许可证授予特定用户的特定CPU。 许可证文件取决于特定的CPU。 许可证文件被授予特定用户的特定CPU。 用户ID文件和许可证文件由用户公钥加密，数字由软件注册服务器密钥签名。 因此，只有注册服务器可以修改所述文件。

Abstract: A system is provided for retrieving secured electronic information stored in at least one storage device (44), where each storage device, such as a CD-ROM, is at least partially encrypted and is coupled to a user station. Each user station (40) is coupled to at least one storage device, such as a CD-ROM, having electronic database files stored therein. At least one of the database files stores numerous decryption keys, each key corresponding to decrypting a predetermined data portion of the secured electronic information. Further, a metering device is coupled to each user station. When the metering device is valid, each respective user station is able to retrieve decryption keys for use in decrypting the corresponding selected data portion. In addition, a server that is selectably connected to (36) each user station across a network controls whether the metering device is valid and operable so as to permit or deny the user station to retrieve the corresponding decryption keys.
