Abstract:
A methodology and apparatus for layered licensing is described. A licensable item is detected on a device. A legacy license associated with the licensable item is accessed, wherein the legacy license corresponds to a legacy licensing policy. A layered license associated with the licensable item is accessed, wherein the layered license corresponds to a layered licensing policy. The legacy licensing policy and the layered licensing policy are integrated into an integrated license, and the integrated license is enforced.

Claim (Index 17):
A computer program product for licensing, comprising:\n a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing instructions comprising:\n at least one instruction for causing a computer to detect a licensable item on a device; \n at least one instruction for causing the computer to access a legacy license associated with the licensable item, wherein the legacy license corresponds to a legacy licensing policy, and wherein the legacy licensing policy permits unlimited use of the licensable item; \n at least one instruction for causing the computer to access a layered license associated with the licensable item, wherein the layered license corresponds to a layered licensing policy, and wherein the layered licensing policy provides a licensing feature not provided by the unlimited use of the licensable item permitted by the legacy licensing policy; \n at least one instruction for causing the computer to integrate the legacy licensing policy and the layered licensing policy into an integrated license, wherein integration of the legacy licensing policy and the layered licensing policy causes the unlimited use of the licensable item permitted by the legacy licensing policy to be extended according to the licensing feature provided by the layered licensing policy; and \n at least one instruction for causing the computer to enforce the integrated license by causing a legacy licensing component to operate in combination with a layered licensing component, wherein the legacy licensing component manages features of the licensable item governed by the legacy license and the layered licensing component manages features of the licensable item governed by the layered license.
