Method and apparatus are disclosed for facilitating the purchase of a software license over a public network. In one disclosed embodiment, a license server may receive a license validity inquiry request from a client module over public network. The inquiry request may contain information regarding a client software application associated with the client module. Responsive to the inquiry request, the license server may initiate a license purchase session to facilitate the purchase of a license for the client software application. The server may then process credit card information received from the user for the purchase of a license. The server may then form a response message containing an indication therein enabling the client software application for use responsive to a successful license purchase session. The response message may then be sent to the client module over public network.
