Abstract: Dynamic licensing improves the utilization of licenses available within a computer network. License sinks, such as gateways, within a computer network may request licenses from a license source. The license source may be provisioned with a number of licenses from a secure fob plugged into the license source. If the license source has the number of licenses requested from the license sink, the license source may assign the licenses to the license sink. After a certain period of time, the license sink may renew the licenses or let the licenses return to the license source to be assigned to another license sink. The license requests may be passed through the network, including through a proxy and/or a relay, to a license server provisioned with licenses. Dynamic licensing software may execute as a service on each of the license sources and license sinks to pass dynamic licensing messages between devices.

Abstract: A system for securely authenticating software Application Program Interfaces (APIs) includes a handshake protocol that is provided to validate whether the parties involved are licensed to use the system which includes rights to Intellectual Property (IP) and corresponding obligations. The handshake is a Challenge-Response protocol that includes several steps. First, a Claimant sends a request to a Verifier requesting access to a function through an API. The Verifier reacts to the request by outputting a Challenge that is sent to the Claimant. The Challenge is also retained by the Verifier for use in its internal calculation to verify the Claimant's response. The Claimant next processes the Challenge using components under the license, known as Hook IP, and issues a Response to the Verifier. The Verifier compares the possibly-correct Candidate Response from the Claimant to the known-correct Target Response and if a match occurs the Verifier allows the Claimant access to the API.
