A software licence management method and system is for a computer system including at least one server (1,5) and particularly for a plurality of computers connected via a network. Before a service (2) can offer functionality to a user it has to check that the user has a licence for that service. A licensing subsystem (3) has associated with it a ticket database (4) that hold tickets corresponding to existing licences. Tickets, if available, are issued to a service on request, thereby verifying the existence of a licence. The receipt of a ticket allows a service to offer functionality.
