Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for creating rules for the administration of end-user license agreements (‘EULAs’), the method comprising: identifying, by one or more processors, from historical license data, a license administration pattern, the license administration pattern representing a trend in an organization's administration of the EULAs, terms in the EULAs, or material subject to the EULAs; creating, in dependence upon the license administration pattern, a license administration rule, the license administration rule representing a conditional expression used to establish conditions for accepting or rejecting the EULAs; receiving, by the one or more processors, a request by a user to access material that is subject to at least one EULA of the EULAs; determining, by the one or more processors, whether the at least one EULA is to be accepted or rejected based on the license administration rule; in response to determining that the at least one EULA is to be accepted, causing, by the one or more processors, a message to be displayed on a display screen to instruct the user to accept the EULA; and in response to determining that the at least one EULA is to be rejected, causing, by the one or more processors, a different message to be displayed on a display screen to instruct the user to reject the EULA.
