A variety of technologies related to the management of computer licenses for accessing services are applied. Licenses can be purchased in a dynamic license pack. Dynamic license packs can be activated and stored. Licenses can be automatically provisioned. License provisioning rules can be used to automatically provision licenses to licensable resources, and once provisioned the assignments can be stored. Licenses can be enforced across a single machine or service or across multiple machines or services. Services can enforce licensing by checking license assignments for licensable resources attempting to access the service. Licensing services can check and maintain licensing consistency. Licensing services can also generate promotion codes in order to support promotions.
