Remote management of resource license

A computer-implemented method of controlling access to resources, the method comprising:

• receiving a request for access to a subset of the resources;
• determining or inferring a current context of a requestor of the request, wherein the current context includes a business context or a personal context of the requestor;
• determining or inferring a current identity of multiple identities of the requestor based in part on the current context;
• determining whether the current identity of the requestor is authorized to use multiple persistent licenses, the multiple persistent licenses including at least one persistent license that is valid for each resource of the subset of the resources;
• generating an object that identifies the requestor;
• when the current identity of the requestor is determined to be authorized to use the multiple persistent licenses, mapping the object to the current identity of the requestor and to an aggregation of the multiple persistent licenses in view of the subset of the resources, wherein the object conveys both the identity and license rights associated with the multiple persistent licenses;
• and
• transferring the object to the requestor.

A computer-executable protocol that facilitates managing multiple resource licenses associated with a plurality of resources, the protocol to facilitate the performance of acts, the acts comprising:

• receiving a request from a user for access to a subset of the plurality of resources, the subset of the plurality of resources are located on-premise or off-premise;
• establishing multiple different identities of the user, wherein the multiple different identities include a business identity and a personal identity of the user;
• generating an object that:
• aggregates the multiple resource licenses into an aggregation of multiple resource licenses;
• and
• maps each of the multiple different identities of the user to a different subset of the multiple resource licenses, the object including:
• the multiple different identities;
• a mapping of each of the multiple different identities to a corresponding different subset of the multiple resource licenses;
• and
• the aggregation of the multiple resource licenses;
• and
• transmitting the object to the user, the object enables access to at least a portion of the subset of the plurality of resources from a plurality of disparate sources based in part on a current identity of the multiple different identities of the user.
