Abstract: A computer-implemented method for using tags to manage software across a product life cycle, including storing by a server computer (i) a tag prototype database and (ii) a tag instance database, the method including the steps of creating a tag for a client software component, storing the tag in the tag instance database, receiving, by a client computer, the tag and the client software component, from an electronic software distribution computer, receiving a request from the client computer to initiate a session of the client software component, obtaining the tag, by the server computer, from the client computer, verifying the tag obtained from the client computer, updating the tag to include information about the session, and replacing the tag in the client computer with the updated tag.

Abstract: Methods for managing entitlements of products and services using blockchain are described. One method includes the steps of storing by a blockchain fabric a ledger that stores transaction data, smart contracts that process transactions, creating an entitlement, receiving by the blockchain a create entitlement transaction request, adding, by the smart contract, an entitlement block to the ledger, issuing by the entitled product a usage transaction that reports usage of the entitled product, upon receiving the usage transaction, adding, by a smart contract, a usage block to the ledger, and determining, by the smart contract, that an entitlement limit has been reached. Another method describes a container mechanism that provides a way to identify all blocks associated with a base entitlement.

Abstract: A software tagging application is configured to measure software application usage within an enterprise deployment. The software tagging application using the concepts of tags, and extends the use of tags to convey monitored software usage. This usage data is written to the tag and secured with a signature calculated using public/private key cryptography. The signature ensures that the usage data collected is correct and has not been tampered with. Usage data refers to both the number of client versions of the software and specific software features installed, and any type of metric for monitoring real usage of the specific software features, for example the number of minutes used, and the start and stop times that the feature was executed. Monitoring usage in this manner provides a dynamic usage model that tracks current and historical software usage, from an enterprise-wide level down to a specific user and feature level.
