Abstract

See full text

A method is disclosed for licensing software components and providing access authorization to software components and/or instantiations of software objects through licenses, wherein a license is associated with each software module and/or the instantiation of a module. Licensing is based on a comparison between acquired licenses and the licenses required for an application. A comparison is performed by a license manager which in distributed environments is advantageously implemented as a mobile agent.
