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.
