Abstract
A software program on the computer system is represented by an icon, which is displayed to a user within one of several available icon-level graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of the operating system (OS). In addition to the standard icon displayed in the icon-level GUI, a license status symbol is associated/affiliated with the icon. The license status symbol indicates the license status of the particular application, from among shareware, un-licensed, valid license, expired license, expiring license, time to license expiration, and/or evaluation license. Each different license status is represented by a unique/identifiable license status symbol, and each application existing in one of these license status on the computer system are represented by its icon and associated/affiliated license status symbol. By viewing the icon and associated/affiliates license status symbol, a user is able to identify the specific license state of the application without having to open/run the application.
