A method of managing and auditing intellectual property for judging whether relevant software is true or counterfeit by using a product activation unit to judge a pairing of a hardware number and a license and royalty number set. Moreover, when the same software is installed in different hardware systems, the product activation unit can automatically renew product number. Hence, the method avoids user's complain such as the user must access an Internet site or make a phone call for anew applying another product number. Moreover, the method allows searching and collection of information over the Internet via IP by an ISP. Therefore, it is not necessary to resort to legal avenues, such as a physical search of a property which gives counterfeit software users a chance to wipe hard drives before evidence has been collected, to enforce the copyright holder's rights on software that is being used without permission.
