End user license agreement detection and monitoring

摘要

An approach is provided for detecting and monitoring end user license agreement (EULA) compliance is provided. A request to access a executable software code is received from an end user. A EULA version corresponding to the requested executable software code is identified. A determination is made as to whether the end user has accepted the identified EULA. If the end user has not accepted the identified EULA, then an out of date EULA notification is sent to the end user, the EULA is sent to the end user requesting an acceptance to the EULA. A EULA response is received from the end user. If the end user accepts the EULA, then the end user is allowed access to the executable software code.

1. A method of detecting and monitoring end user license agreement (EULA) compliance, the method comprising:
receiving a first request to access a first executable software code, the first request received from an end user; identifying a first EULA corresponding to the first executable software code; determining, by one or more computer processors, whether the end user has accepted the first EULA; in response to determining that the end user has accepted the first EULA, allowing the end user access to the first executable software code; receiving a second request from the end user to access the first executable software code; identifying an updated first EULA corresponding to the first executable software code; transmitting an out of date EULA notification to the end user; transmitting the updated first EULA to the end user; requesting an acceptance from the end user to the updated first EULA; receiving a EULA response from the end user; and allowing the end user access to the first executable software code responsive to the EULA response being the end user's acceptance to the updated first EULA, wherein a first acceptance indicator is stored in a data store, the first acceptance indicator associated with the updated first EULA and with a user identifier that corresponds to the end user.
