Definitions

  • Patent Document 4 discloses a license management system that performs license authentication, and manages the number of contract licenses and licenses in use by a license server.
  • the license server transfers the delegation license key used for license authentication of the job execution apparatus submitted by the user terminal to the authentication server, and the authentication server performs license authentication of the job execution apparatus using the delegation license key.
  • Patent Document 1 since the upgrade key is unique to each wireless device as described above, there is a problem that it cannot be applied to other wireless devices. Further, Patent Documents 2 to 5 disclose prior arts related to software license management methods, and do not disclose upgrade keys applied to key information of licensee devices.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a license management apparatus and a license management method that allow a licensee to arbitrarily change a wireless device that releases a function.
  • the present invention relates to a license management apparatus that manages whether or not a function is approved for a plurality of licensee apparatuses that perform functions according to key information.
  • the license management device includes, as key information unique to each licensee device, a key storage unit that stores a default key that restricts a predetermined function and an upgrade key that releases the predetermined function, and restricts or releases the predetermined function.
  • a key extraction unit that extracts a default key or upgrade key associated with the licensee device indicated by the license change request from the key storage unit, and a license change request that restricts a predetermined function is received
  • a key application unit for overwriting the key information of the licensee device with a default key.
  • the key application unit applies the upgrade key to the key information of the licensee device.
  • the contents of the default table and the upgrade table stored in the key storage unit 303 are encrypted with an encryption key unique to the license management apparatus 30. Thereby, even if the contents of the default table and the upgrade table are exploited by unauthorized access, it is possible to prevent the default key and upgrade key from being used illegally.
  • the upper limit number management unit 304 subtracts 1 from the upper limit number of licenses stored in the upper limit number storage unit 305 and associated with the optional function to be released included in the license change request (step S1). S610). Thereafter, the license management apparatus 30 ends the process. In this way, the license management apparatus 30 releases the option function applied to the wireless apparatus 10 by applying the upgrade key to the wireless apparatus 10 and decreases the upper limit number of licenses related to the released option function.
  • the license status reading unit 307 reads the license status information from the wireless device 10 and updates the license function upper limit number of options based on the license status information. It is not limited to this.
  • the license information acquired by the monitoring information acquisition unit 309 from the monitoring control device 20 may be stored, and the upper limit number of licenses may be updated based on the license status information.
