Abstract:
A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for determining usage of a software product. The software product is initialized within a virtualized container. Processes executing within the virtualized container are identified. A process fingerprint for the software product is created and includes identifying information of the processes executing within the virtualized container. Usage of the software product on a computing device is determined based, at least partly, on the identifying information of only non-common processes included in the process fingerprint.
