Abstract
Integrated computer services and software licensing processing methods and systems are provided. A license processing service (LPS) receives a services or software license request from a user via a client computer. The LPS communicates the request to a billing system for the services or software provider to obtain an expiration date for use of a desired service or software product. The LPS receives and forwards the expiration date from the billing system to a licensing clearinghouse operated by the provider of the desired service or software product. The clearinghouse, in turn, provides a use license for the desired service or software application to the client computer via the LPS.
