Short message platform based software authorization method

Abstract

The invention discloses a short message platform based software authorization method. The method involves a short message platform, a serial number generation program, a serial number viewing and setting program, and an encrypted binary software license file containing serial number information. The method comprises the steps that a potential user downloads or obtains a software copy from a network or in other ways and tries to use the software copy, and a software author is contacted if software is needed; after it is confirmed that the user can be authorized, the software author requires the user to provide an initial character string containing unique hardware information of a corresponding device by using a short message; the software author transmits the received character string short message to the short message platform; a short message processing program of the short message platform generates an authorized serial number in combination with the received initial character string and hardware information of a registered machine, and returns the authorized serial number to the software author by a short message; the software author transmits the received serial number to the user; and the user changes the software license file by using a carried tool according to the received serial number. According to the method, the service life and a maximum user number can be limited, the security is high, and the rights and interests of the software author are protected to the maximum extent.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computer software and relates to a software authorization method based on a short message platform. Background technique [0002] The easy-to-copy, easy-to-spread, and easy-to-copy features of software products have brought challenges to the protection of software rights and interests. As a software developer (software author), on the one hand, he hopes that the software developed has many users, on the other hand, he also hopes that his legal rights and interests can be Be protected. In theory, software rights can be protected by applying for patents and obtaining software copyrights-through legal means; in fact, taking into account the cost of rights protection and other factors, technical means (software licensing) is still the usual method of protecting software rights. [0003] Software authorization methods can be roughly divided into two categories: without hardware and with hardware. The method without ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Software authorization methods can be roughly divided into two types: without hardware and with hardware. The method without hardware is to ensure the legality of the software through the complexity of the algorithm. The advantage is that it is easy to implement and zero cost. Cracked; the method with hardware is to ensure the legality of the software by reading the information of the accompanying hardware (dongle, CD, etc.). The advantage is that it is easy to control the installation location and number of installations of the software. with corresponding interface
