Abstract

See full text

A tamper-resistant method is disclosed for controlling the number of users given authorized access to licensed software in a host-based, multiple terminal system by use of an encrypted authorization list depth parameter. The method embedded in the host-licensed software can decrypt the depth parameter only using a key derived from its own CPU ID and an offset.
