A licensing system is provided for transferring license information for at least one license-requiring software component of software-controlled devices. The licensing system comprises a first, portable license data storage medium ( 3 ), which is provided with a processor unit ( 8 ) and on which at least one license information for the at least one license-requiring software component is stored in a memory unit ( 9 ). A second, exchangeable license data storage medium ( 4; 4.1, 4.2 ) is provided with a processor unit ( 10; 10.1, 10.2 ). A data transfer channel ( 5 ) is provided for transferring data between the first license data storage medium ( 3 ) and the second license data storage medium ( 4; 4.1, 4.2 ). A license detection device ( 6 ) is provided which can poll the at least one license information of the first license data storage medium ( 3 ) and transfer same to the second license data storage medium ( 4; 4.1, 4.2 ) via the data transfer channel ( 5 ). The at least one license information can be stored in a memory unit ( 11; 11.1, 11.2 ) of the second license data storage medium ( 4; 4.1, 4.2 ) and cannot subsequently be polled any longer on the first license data storage medium ( 3 ). A license-providing device ( 7; 7.1, 7.2 ) is provided which can make available or transfer the at least one license information stored in the memory unit ( 11; 11.1, 11.2 ) to the software-controlled device ( 2 ) for releasing or blocking the at least one license-requiring software component.
