Claim:
1. A license management system comprising at least one processor capable of executing processor-executable code coupled with a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing a master license database and processor-executable code for causing the at least one processor to: store a master state of a network device indicative of at least one license key associated with the network device and first location information in the master license database; access information indicative of a license key request for the network device subsequent to the storing of the master state, the license key request including a current state of the network device; compare the master state of the network device including the first location information with the current state of the network device including second location information of the network device; and in response to the master state differing from the current state of the network device, generate an error message and store the error message in non-transitory processor-readable medium.
