SOFTWARE RESALE METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a software resale method. A first device that already obtains permission to use target software sends a resale request to a server, to obtain a distributed resale credential; the first device sends the resale credential to a second device; and the second device purchases a target application program by using the resale credential. A problem that software cannot be resold or transferred currently is resolved, and a software developer and a distribution platform can improve a software purchase rate and activeness of the platform by using a proper business model, thereby increasing an operating income.
