System and computer-implemented method for license management of virtual appliances in a computing system uses an activated virtual appliance in the computing system to forward an activation license from a license server on behalf of an unactivated virtual appliance in the computing system.

The disclosure provides Internet of Things (IoT) systems organized as tree hierarchies in which rule processing can occur at each level of the tree hierarchies. In the IoT system according to one embodiment, formulas are defined and centrally managed at a cloud hub that is a root of a tree hierarchy. Each formula defined at the cloud hub is further percolated down to a hub, which may be the cloud hub itself or a local hub, in the tree hierarchy that is logically closest to devices specified in the formula. Each of the cloud and local hubs in the IoT system may utilize the same core IoT platform image, providing ease of management. In addition, formulas may be defined with basic stimuli and responses, as well as with higher-order stimuli and responses that combine one or more other stimuli and responses, respectively.

A cloud computing system includes services that provide virtual cloud computing resources. The service publishes service events that are transformed into periodic rating data as per centralized, pluggable, service-specific business rules. The cloud computing system includes a metering service that reduces network traffic for billing using a carry-forward mechanism that remembers a last-known rating state. Anomalies in the last-known state, such as, from lost or duplicate service events, can be detected via a reconciliation protocol between the metering service and cloud computing services.
