When executing a licensing management application, data indicative of licensing privileges of a software application for simultaneous execution on a subset of a plurality of computers are received from a licensor of the software application. The data indicative of licensing privileges comprise data indicative of a licensing key. For each of a plurality of users a peripheral licensing device is provided and the data indicative of a licensing key are then stored in memory thereof. Data indicative of a total number of users-equal to a number of the subset-are determined and provided to the licensor, or storage of the licensing key is prevented, when the total number is greater than a predetermined number of the subset. After execution of the licensing management application and provision of each of the users with a respective peripheral licensing device, each of the users is enabled to execute the software application by interfacing the peripheral licensing device with one of the computers, after which the data indicative of a licensing key are retrieved and the software application is executed.
