Abstract
The number of releasable licenses is registered in a first entity, the resource to be used being attributed and/or having withdrawn from it, by a second entity, a releasable license for use which is registered in the second entity and/or a license. In a synchronization step the difference between the number of licenses allocated for use since a previous synchronization step and the licenses released again in this time is repeatedly reported from the second entities to the first entity respectively, this difference being taken as a basis for reducing or increasing the number of releasable licenses registered in the first entity, and conversely the resultant number of releasable licenses is reported from the first entity to the second entity and is registered there as the number of releasable licenses.
