Abstract
An authorization system is described that includes a first interface, a processing system, and a second interface. The first interface is configured to receive an authorization instruction from an enterprise and receive an authorization request from a user device. The authorization instructions indicate authorization parameters. The user device transfers the authorization request each time the application is selected for execution. The authorization instructions are based on a license obtained by the enterprise for an application and wherein a user device operated by a user has the application. The processing system is configured to process the authorization request and authorization parameters to determine if the execution of the application is authorized. The second interface is configured to transfer an authorized message to the user device if the execution of the application is authorized and transfer an unauthorized message to the user device if the execution of the application is not authorized.
