A method and system for license server synchronization are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving a first capability request from a licensing server, transmitting a first capability response to the licensing server. The licensing server provides a second capability response to a device, and the second capability response is in response to a second capability request sent by the device to the licensing server. The second capability response includes one or more capabilities included in the first capability response. A server synchronization message is received from the licensing server and a request for payment is transmitted to a service provider, wherein the request for payment is generated based on the server synchronization message.

Method and system for license server synchronization

Several embodiments include a policy-bound token distribution system. The system can include a back-office server that issues policy-bound tokens to local main distribution servers. A local main distribution server can distribute a policy-bound token to a digital environment to authorize an operator to take advantage of a protected resource. The system can rely on a backup server to distribute the policy-bound tokens whenever the distribution service of the local main distribution server is unavailable. To prevent run-time leakage from the backup server, the backup server can synchronize its distribution state with the local main distribution server and the back-office server. The distribution state can include distribution transaction records between the backup server and client devices. Throughout the system, each distribution transaction record can be assigned unique transaction ID to prevent multiple accounting of the same distribution transaction record from different servers.

Accurate license counting in synchronized servers

In embedded licensing from multiple license sources, a hardware device sends a capability request when a new licensed capability or modification to an existing licensed capability is desired. The hardware device transmits a first capability request to a first server and receives a first capability response from the first server. The hardware device then transmits a second capability request to a second server and receives a second capability response from the second server. When the first server and the second server are the same, regenerative licensing is activated by the hardware device, and an authorized capabilities list of the second capability response replaces an authorized capabilities list of the first capability response. When the first server and the second server are distinct, cumulative licensing is activated by the hardware device, and an authorized capabilities list of the second capability response is added to an authorized capabilities list of the first capability response.

Methods and systems for embedded licensing from multiple license sources

A method and system for capacity licensing are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer implemented method comprises receiving a capability request from a device, sending a capability response to the device, the capability response comprising a serving of license rights. A deduction record is stored, the deduction record deducting a license from a license pool. An information request is received from the device, and an information response is sent.

System and method for capacity licensing

A method and system for embedded regenerative licensing are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method, comprises transmitting a first capability request for a first hardware device to a hardware adapter. A second capability request for a second hardware device is transmitted to the hardware adapter. A first device capability response for the first hardware device is received from the hardware adapter. The first device capability response comprises a first timestamp, a first unique identifier for the first hardware device, and a first functions list to disable on the first hardware device. A second device capability response for the second hardware device is received from the hardware adapter. The second device capability response comprises a second timestamp, a second unique identifier for the second hardware device, and a second functions list including one or more functions from the first hardware device to enable on the second hardware device.

Method and system for embedded regenerative licensing

A diagnostic medical ultrasound system having an integrated invasive medical device guidance system is disclosed. The guidance system obtains image slice geometry and other imaging parameters from the ultrasound system to optimize the guidance computations and visual representations of the invasive medical device and the imaged portion of the subject. Further, the ultrasound system obtains guidance data indicating the relative location, i.e. position and/or orientation of the invasive medical device relative to the transducer and imaging plane to optimize the imaging plane and ultrasound beam characteristics to automatically optimally image both the imaged portion of the subject and the invasive medical device.
