location based licensing of software on a computer. A given software product has certain locations or regions authorized. While the computer executing the software remains within the authorized region or regions, at least one factor in a multi-factor authorization scheme is satisfied, and software remains licensed and operational. When the computer is removed from these regions, the software is not licensed and is prevented from executing. The check for location occurs periodically such that were the computer moving, the license status of the software dynamically updates. When going to a new region where a license has not been previously purchased, the system prompts the user to purchase a license for that new region. Upon purchase, the software continues to operate as previous. |
