Abstract

See full text

A first process operating on a computer comprises code to be executed in connection therewith, where the code includes at least one triggering device. A digital license corresponds to the first process and sets forth terms and conditions for operating the first process. A second process operating on the computer proxy-executes code corresponding to each triggering device of the first process on behalf of such first process. The second process includes a license evaluator for evaluating the license to determine whether the first process is to be operated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in such license, and the second process chooses whether to in fact proxy-execute based at least in part on determination of the license evaluator. Thus, the first process is dependent upon the second process for operation thereof.
