Abstract
In a method for managing a time-limited license on a computer application that can be run on a network component, a license data record is created that contains at least information concerning the computer application to be licensed, a license period and a signing time. The license data record is read from a license server, and based on the information concerning the signing time a reference date for this computer application is created. The reference date is compared with a system time, which is defined for the network component in order to determine a binding current time base for the license server. Based on this comparison, it is determined whether the computer application is run on the basis of at least one of the current time base and the granted license period. The reference date is continuously updated and stored on the license server.
