Abstract: Software licence management systems (1, 50, 60) are provided in which a licence to use a software product (4, 55, 65) is represented by a data token (7, 56, 67). The systems have a software controller (6a, 52a, 62a) for controlling use of the software product at a user device (3, 53, 64), and a licence management server (2, 51, 61) for communicating with the software controller via a data communications network (5, 54, 63). The software controller (6a, 52a, 62a) allows use of the software product at the user device substantially only during a use period associated with a current data token (7, 56, 67) supplied to the software controller by the licence management server (2, 51, 61). An exchange token can be supplied to another, similar software controller when necessary to transfer the licence, e.g. in the event of a breakdown. The software controller (6a, 52a, 62a) is adapted to supply either the current data token, or the exchange token, to the licence management server (2, 51, 61) to be exchanged for a new data token. This is done in two circumstances: (a) to extend the licence for the software product beyond the use period associated with a current data token supplied by the licence management server; and (b) when an exchange token is received for transferring the licence from another software controller. The licence management server supplies the new data token to the software controller where it replaces the current data token. The new data token has a new use period during which use of the software product can continue. In circumstance (a) the licence is thereby extended, and in circumstance (b) the licence is thereby transferred to the new software controller. The system (1, 50, 60) also incorporates a mechanism to prevent or inhibit use of the software product (4, 55, 65) on multiple user devices at the same time.

Abstract translation: 提供了软件许可证管理系统（1,50,60），其中使用软件产品（4,55,65）的许可证由数据令牌（7,56,67）表示。 该系统具有用于控制用户设备（3,53,64）上的软件产品的使用的软件控制器（6a，52a，62a）和用于与软件控制器通信的许可证管理服务器（2,51,61） 经由数据通信网络（5,54,63）。 软件控制器（6a，52a，62a）允许基本上仅在与由许可证管理服务器提供给软件控制器的当前数据令牌（7,56,67）相关联的使用期间内在用户设备处使用软件产品 2，51，61）。 交换令牌可以在必要时提供给另一个类似的软件控制器来传送许可证，例如 发生故障时。 软件控制器（6a，52a，62a）适于将当前数据令牌或交换令牌提供给许可证管理服务器（2,551,61）以交换新的数据令牌。 这在两种情况下完成：（a）将软件产品的许可证扩展到与许可证管理服务器提供的当前数据令牌相关联的使用期限之外; 和（b）收到交换令牌以从另一软件控制器传送许可证时。 许可证管理服务器将新的数据令牌提供给软件控制器，用于替换当前的数据令牌。 新的数据令牌具有新的使用期限，在此期间可以继续使用软件产品。 在（a）的情况下，许可证因此被扩展，并且在（b）的许可证被转让到新的软件控制器的情况下。 系统（1,50,60）还包括一种机制，用于同时在多个用户设备上防止或禁止使用软件产品（4,55,65）。

Abstract: Infrastructures of a plurality of existing applications of an entity are analyzed to identify at least one of the infrastructures of the plurality of existing applications which includes existing substructures enabling replication of individual parts via an existing replication mechanism. The at least one of the infrastructures is selected for migration to a cloud. The cloud includes at least one of an infrastructure as a service cloud and a platform as a service cloud. The existing substructures of the at least one of the infrastructures are migrated to the cloud, without application-level change. A business agility component is assembled and is configured to control extending and shrinking resources of the cloud that are devoted to the at least one of the infrastructures. The resources of the cloud that are devoted to the at least one of the infrastructures are extended and shrunk, using the business agility component.

Abstract: A system allows a reliable and efficient identity management that can, with full interoperability, accommodate to various requirements of participants. For that a system is presented for providing an identity-related information about a user to a requesting entity. The method includes a location-request step initiated by the requesting entity for requesting from a client application a location information that corresponds to a location entity possessing the identity-related information, a redirecting step for connecting the client application to the location entity in order to instruct the location entity to transfer the identity-related information to the requesting entity, and an acquiring step for obtaining the identity-related information. The acquiring step includes a contact step wherein the location entity contacts the requesting entity, a request step wherein the requesting entity requests the identity-related information, and a response step wherein the requesting entity receives the identity-related information from the location entity.

Abstract: An application resource manager obtains a projection of upcoming demand for an application that runs on a cloud. The cloud includes at least one of an infrastructure as a service cloud and a platform as a service cloud. The application resource manager determines, based on the projection, that resources of the cloud that are devoted to the application need to be one of extended and shrunken. One of extending and shrinking the resources of the cloud that are devoted to the application is carried out in response to the determining.

Abstract: A system and method for information technology (IT) migration includes determining (404) a relationship among objects to be migrated such that the relationship includes a set of objects having at least one of a common feature or dependency between the objects in the set. The objects are grouped (410) into a plurality of migration waves such that cross-wave relationships are minimized among the plurality of migration waves. The objects are migrated (418) wave by wave.
