Abstract
A method for providing a software service of a license management server is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a virtual machine interface from a cloud server; installing software of a service provider in the virtual machine interface; transmitting a license to the virtual machine interface; providing ID and password related authority to a user terminal; and providing a service of the software to the user terminal through the virtual machine interface when the user terminal accesses the software. Therefore, source code leakage due to static analysis can be fundamentally prevented.
Claims17
A license management server comprises:
- at least one hardware processor;
- and
- a database in which at least one command to be executed by the at least one hardware processor is stored,
- wherein when the at least one hardware processor is executed, the at least one hardware processor is, by the at least one command, configured to:
- receive a virtual machine interface from a cloud server of a cloud providing company;
- install a software of the service providing company in the virtual machine interface;
- provide authority related to an ID and a password to a user terminal;
- service the software at the user terminal through the virtual machine interface when the user terminal accesses the software;
- and
- transmit a license for authenticating authority for use of the software to the virtual machine interface,
- wherein before the at least one hardware processor transmits the license for authenticating authority for use of the software to the virtual machine interface, the at least one hardware processor is configured to further:
- receive a first message including user's membership subscription information from the cloud server and registering the membership subscription information in an issuance request management unit;
- receive a second message that indicates new instance information identified by user identification information from the cloud server and updating source instance information stored in a license issuance management unit to the new instance information;
- transmit a third message to the cloud server to request an instance unique identifier;
- receive the instance unique identifier from the cloud server;
- update instance unique identifier information in the issuance request management unit to the instance unique identifier received from the cloud server;
- and
- issue the license through the license issuance management unit.
