Abstract (eng): | Selling software and its components as a service for use by a widely distributed user base requires some effort on managing the licenses. This thesis is a study on how a license management system for a small or medium sized Independent Software Vendor could be built, by identifying the requirements and potential problems. The framework requirements were identified while planning future software and features, the distribution of software and new invoicing possibilities as part of my daily work. Current licensing literature and best practices were studied to get an overview of license management technology, and this information was then used as a basis for the proposed architectural design. The results consist of an analysis of identified actors and their roles, a plan for creating a license management system and finally an overview of security issues and how they are taken into consideration. The plan includes user interfaces, database schemas for license tracking, backend programming interfaces and some thoughts on integration to the existing invoicing system. |
Abstract (swe): | Licenshantering är en viktig fråga vid försäljning av mjukvara och dess komponenter som tjänster. Användarna och deras behov varierar enormt, vilket ställer stora krav på systemet. Detta diplomarbete är en studie i hur ett licenshanteringssystem för ett litet eller medelstort mjukvaruföretag kunde byggas upp, genom att identifiera kraven och potentiella problem. Systemkraven samlades in vid planering av framtida mjukvara och andra lösningar, som en del av mitt dagliga jobb. För att få en överblick av de bästa metoderna för implementering av detta sorts system gjorde jag en litteraturstudie där motsvarande och relaterade lösningar undersöktes. Resultaten består av en analys av intressenterna och deras roller, en plan för implementeringen samt en genomgång av säkerhetsaspekter och hur de har beaktats. Planen innehåller användargränssnitt, databasscheman, programmeringsgränssnitt och tankar kring integration mot det existerande faktureringssystemet. |
