LICENSING AND METERING OF VIRTUALIZED APPLICATIONS

摘要

When a request is received to execute a virtualized application, a licensing/metering component determines whether a valid license exists for the requested application. If the licensing/metering component determines that a valid software license exists for the requested application, the application virtualization server component streams the virtualized application to a client device and permits the application to be executed. If the licensing/metering component determines that a valid software license does not exist for the requested application, the application virtualization server component prevents the virtualized application from being streamed to the client device. Once the virtualized application is streamed to the client device, the licensing/metering component monitors usage of the virtualized application.
