Fig. 1B schematically shows a flowchart of a license processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1B, a license processing method applied to an electronic device may include the following operations S101 to S102.
In operation S101, a license is imported for software of an electronic device.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may include, but is not limited to, a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop portable computer, a desktop computer, and the like. Also, various software (application programs) can be installed on the electronic device. In addition, the license may be downloaded from a server and imported into the software of the electronic device, may be acquired from a portable storage device and imported into the software of the electronic device, or may be acquired from a local storage of the electronic device and imported into the software of the electronic device.
Next, in operation S102, in importing a license for software, the license is checked from a plurality of dimensions.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, in importing a license to software, the license may be verified from multiple aspects, confirming whether the license is available for the current software and the current electronic device.
By the embodiment of the disclosure, the license of the imported software can be verified from multiple aspects, the user can be prevented from easily avoiding the authorization of the license and illegally using the software of the electronic equipment, and the reliability of authorizing and managing the software through the license is improved.
The method shown in FIG. 1B is further described with reference to FIGS. 2-10 in conjunction with specific embodiments.
Fig. 2 schematically shows a flowchart of a license processing method applied to an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Specifically, in an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 2, after verifying the license from a plurality of dimensions in operation S102, the license processing method applied to the electronic device may include the following operations S201 to S203.
In operation S201, it is determined whether the system time of the electronic device has been modified.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may be installed with a LINUX operating system, a Windows operating system, an android system, an apple system, and the like. Wherein the system time may be a time of an operating system of the electronic device. In addition, after the license is imported to the software, the software may periodically acquire the system time of the electronic device.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, various applications (i.e., software) may be installed on the electronic device, such as, for example, shopping-type applications, web browser applications, search-type applications, instant messaging tools, mailbox clients, social platform software, and the like. Some application software may be used only after some or all functions of the application software need to be imported with corresponding licenses. Where a license is also referred to as a software license, an authentication code, an authorization file, an identification code, a serial number, etc., the license may be a string of characters, a string of numbers, etc. In addition, when a license is imported for application software, the application software determines the life span of the application software (i.e., determines the life span of a function related to the license in the application software) based on the current system time and the valid time (i.e., valid period) of the license. The application software can periodically acquire the system time of the operating system of the electronic equipment, and if the system time variation acquired by the application software is not equal to the acquisition period of the system time, the system time is determined to be modified. For example, the acquisition period of the system time may be 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 8 hours, 24 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, or the like. If the acquisition period of the system time is 60 seconds, the system time acquired last time is 18 minutes and 15 seconds at 24, 12 and 24 in 2019, and the system time acquired this time is 19 minutes and 10 seconds at 20, 24 and 24 in 2019, the system time of the electronic device is determined to be modified. If the system time is acquired in a period of 24 hours, the last acquired system time is 20 hours, 18 minutes and 15 seconds in 12 months and 24 days in 2019, and the system time acquired this time is 20 hours, 18 minutes and 15 seconds in 12 months and 25 days in 2019, it is determined that the system time of the electronic device is not modified.
In other embodiments of the present disclosure, if the acquisition period of the system time is too long, only the date and the hour may be acquired, or only the date, the hour and the minute may be acquired, so that a problem that the application software misjudges that the system time of the electronic device is modified due to a small timing error generated by a clock of the electronic device, so as to modify the service life of the software may be avoided, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
Then, in operation S202, in response to the system time of the electronic device having been modified, the modified system time is acquired.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the application software determines that the system time of the electronic device has been modified, the modified system time is recorded so as to recalculate the useful life of the software based on the modified time.
Next, in operation S203, the lifespan of the software is modified based on the modified system time and the remaining valid time of the license for the software installed in the electronic device.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the remaining valid time of the license may be a period during which the license can be used, for example, the valid time of the license is 12 months, the remaining valid time of the license is also 12 months, and after 3 months, the valid time of the license is 12 months, and the remaining valid time of the license is 9 months. If the modified system time is 0 minutes 0 seconds at 24 days 20 at 12 months 24 years 2009 and the remaining valid time of the license is 9 months, then the useful life of the software is up to 0 minutes 0 seconds at 24 days 20 at 24 months 24 years 2010.
Through the embodiment of the disclosure, the software can periodically collect the system time of the electronic device, and if the system time is determined to be modified, the service life of the software is determined again based on the modified system time and the remaining valid time of the license. Therefore, the user can be effectively prevented from escaping from the expiration of the license by modifying the system time, and the software can be effectively controlled by using the license.
Fig. 3 schematically shows a flowchart of a license processing method applied to an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
Specifically, in an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3, before the operation S203 modifies the service life of the software, the license processing method may further include the following operation S301.
In operation S301, a remaining valid time of the license is determined according to the introduction time of the license, the valid time of the license, and the system time before modification.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the import time of the license may be the system time of the electronic device when the license is imported into the software, the valid time of the license may be the remaining valid time when the license is imported into the software, and the system time before modification may be the system time of the electronic device collected last time by the software. If the import time of the license is 0 minute 0 second at 24 days 20 hours in 2019, month 24, the valid time of the license is 12 months, and the system time before modification is 0 minute 0 second at 24 days 20 hours in 2019, month 24, the remaining valid time of the license is 9 months.
It should be noted that operation S201 in fig. 3 corresponds to operation S201 in fig. 2, operation S202 in fig. 3 corresponds to operation S202 in fig. 2, and operation S203 in fig. 3 corresponds to operation S203 in fig. 2, which is not described again here.
Through the embodiment of the disclosure, the remaining effective time of the license is calculated based on the system time before modification, and the service life of the software is recalculated based on the remaining effective time of the license and the modified system time, so that the condition that the user avoids the license from being expired by modifying the license and further continues to use the license licensed function in the software can be effectively prevented.
Fig. 4 schematically shows a flowchart of a license processing method applied to an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
Specifically, in an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 4, after verifying the license from multiple dimensions in operation S102 of fig. 1B, the license processing method applied to the electronic device may further include the following operations S401 to S404.
In operation S401, in importing a license for software, first identification information of the license is recorded.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first identification information may be unique identification information of the license, for example, the license may be processed by using a Message digest algorithm 5(Message-digest algorithm 5, MD5 for short) to obtain an MD5 code, and the obtained MD5 code is used as the unique identification information of the license.
Then, in operation S402, in importing the first license for the software, second identification information of the first license is recorded.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the license may be imported for software multiple times, for example, multiple different licenses may be imported for the same software, the same license may be imported for the same software multiple times, and the same license may also be imported for the software of different electronic devices multiple times. When a license is imported for software, the software may record identification information of the license.
Next, in operation S403, it is determined whether the second identification information coincides with the first identification information.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the license corresponds to the first identification information, the first license corresponds to the second identification information, and both the first identification information and the second identification information exist uniquely. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether the first license and the license are the same software license by comparing whether the second identification information is identical to the first identification information.
Still next, in operation S404, in response to determining that the second identification information coincides with the first identification information, the import of the first license is terminated.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the second identification information is identical to the first identification information, it is indicated that the first license and the license are the same software license. In order to prevent a user from extending the life of software by importing the same license multiple times for the software, the software rejects the same license multiple importations.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, in the process of importing the license, whether the first license currently being imported is the license of the already imported software is determined by comparing the second identification information of the first license currently being imported with the first identification information of the license of the already imported software, and if the first license currently being imported is determined to be the license of the already imported software, the importing of the first license is terminated, so that multiple importing of the same license is avoided, and the situation that the service life of the software is prolonged by importing the same license multiple times by a user is avoided.
Fig. 5 schematically shows a flowchart of a license processing method applied to an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
Specifically, in an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 5, after determining whether the second identification information is consistent with the first identification information in operation S403 in fig. 4, the license processing method may further include the following operations S501 to S502.
In operation S501, in response to determining that the second identification information is not identical to the first identification information, it is determined whether the first license is a temporary license based on the second identification information of the first license.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the second identification information is not identical to the first identification information, it is described that the first license and the license are different software licenses. At this time, it is necessary to further determine whether the first license is a temporary license. The identification information includes a type of license, and the type of license may include a formal license and a temporary license.
Next, in operation S502, in response to determining that the first license is the temporary license, the remaining valid time of the first license is set to zero.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, if it is determined that the first license is the temporary license, the remaining valid time of the first license may be cleared, so that when the temporary license is imported to the software, the service life of the software is not prolonged, and the situation of software abuse caused by importing the temporary license to the software is avoided.
It should be noted that operation S401 in fig. 5 corresponds to operation S401 in fig. 4, operation S402 in fig. 5 corresponds to operation S402 in fig. 4, and operation S403 in fig. 5 corresponds to operation S403 in fig. 4, which are not described again here.
Through the embodiment of the disclosure, whether the first license is the temporary license is determined through the second identification information of the first license, and when the first license is the temporary license, the remaining effective time of the first license is cleared, so that the user is prevented from prolonging the service life of the software by introducing the temporary license into the software, and abuse of the software is avoided.
Fig. 6 schematically shows a flowchart of a license processing method applied to an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
Specifically, in an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 6, before the operation S101 of fig. 1B imports the license for the software of the electronic device, the license processing method may further include the following operations S601 to S603.
In operation S601, in importing the first temporary license for the software, the software is marked as trial software based on the identification information of the first temporary license.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the software is not importing any license, if the first temporary license is imported into the software, the software is marked as trial software. The software category may include formal software and trial software.
Then, in operation S602, in importing the second license for the trial software, it is determined whether the second license is a temporary license based on the identification information of the second license.

Wherein, if the license information includes the same device identification information as the device identification information acquired in operation S8021, it may be determined that the license is usable with the electronic device, otherwise it is determined that the license is unusable with the electronic device.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the device identification information of the electronic device which can be used by the license is added into the license information of the license, and when the license is imported, whether the license can be used for the electronic device is confirmed by comparing the device identification information contained in the license information with the device identification information of the electronic device acquired in the importing process, so that the condition that a user imports the license into software on a plurality of electronic devices, and the license is multipurpose can be prevented, and abuse of the license is prevented.
Fig. 9 schematically shows a flowchart of a license processing method applied to an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
Specifically, in an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 9, the operation S102, in the process of importing the license for the software, checks the license from multiple dimensions, and may include the following operations S9021 to S9022.
In operation S9021, in importing a license for software, a system time of an electronic device is acquired.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the generation time of the license may be contained in the license. In addition, the software may acquire the system time of the electronic device during the process of importing the license to the software.
Next, in operation S9022, it is determined whether the license is invalid according to the generation time of the license and the system time.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if a time interval between the generation time of the license and the acquired system time exceeds a set time period, it may be determined that the license is invalid, and thus the import of the license may be terminated, and if the time interval between the generation time of the license and the acquired system time does not exceed the set time period, it may be determined that the license is valid, and thus the import of the license may be continued. If the set time length is 12 months, the generation time of the license is 0 minutes and 0 seconds at 24 hours at 12 months and 25 days in 2018, and the acquired system time is 0 minutes and 0 seconds at 24 hours at 21 months and 24 days in 12 months and 21 months in 2018, it can be determined that the license is valid. If the set time length is 12 months, the generation time of the license is 0 minutes and 0 seconds at 24 hours at 25 months at 2018, and the acquired system time is 0 minutes and 0 seconds at 24 hours at 26 months at 2018, 12 months at 26, it can be determined that the license is invalid.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the time interval between the generation time of the license and the acquired system time of the electronic equipment is acquired, and the time interval is compared with the set time length to determine whether the license is invalid. In other words, if the license is left without software being imported for more than a set period of time, the license will automatically expire (i.e., the software cannot be imported), so that the timeliness of the license is emphasized, and the license can be effectively managed.
Fig. 10 schematically shows a flowchart of a license processing method applied to an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
Specifically, in an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 10, the operation S102, in the process of importing the license for the software, checks the license from multiple dimensions, and may include the following operations S10021 to S10024.
In operation S10021, in importing a license for software, the license is decrypted to obtain plaintext information and a first hash value.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to secure the license, the license received by the electronic device may be a license file encrypted through multiple layers. For example, the server that generates the license may encrypt the plaintext information and the first hash value of the license using an asymmetric encryption algorithm (Ron rivetadi Shamir LeonardAdleman, RSA for short), a symmetric encryption algorithm (Rivest Cipher4, RC4 for short), or the like. The first hash value is obtained by executing a hash algorithm on the plaintext information of the license. The plaintext information may be a character string, a serial number, or the like.
Next, in operation S10022, a predetermined hash algorithm is performed on the plaintext information to obtain a second hash value.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the software executes a hash algorithm on the plaintext information obtained by decryption, so as to obtain the second hash value. And the version of the hash algorithm used by the software is the same as the version of the hash algorithm used by the server that generated the license.
Next, in operation S10023, it is determined whether the second hash value is identical to the first hash value.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the second hash value does not coincide with the first hash value, it may be said that the license has been tampered before the software is imported, and if the second hash value coincides with the first hash value, it may be said that the license has not been tampered before the software is imported.
Then, in operation S10024, in response to determining that the second hash value does not coincide with the first hash value, the import process of the license is terminated.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the second hash value does not coincide with the first hash value, indicating that the license has been tampered with before the software is imported, the import process of the license may be terminated, and the use of the license may be thereby terminated.
Through the embodiment of the disclosure, the server for generating the license can utilize the hash algorithm to perform hash operation on the plaintext information of the license to obtain the first hash value, encrypt the plaintext information and the first hash value and then send the encrypted plaintext information and the first hash value to the electronic device, and the electronic device decrypts the encrypted file to obtain the plaintext information and the first hash value. Then, the software performs hash operation on the plaintext information by using a hash algorithm to obtain a second hash value, if the first hash value is different from the second hash value, the plaintext information of the license is falsified, and the license is prohibited from being imported into the software, so that the forged or modified license can be rejected from being imported into the software, and the illegal use of the software is prohibited.
