More Information
Summary:The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for validating license servers in virtualized environments. Embodiments of the invention leverage a set of features acquired or built in cloud computing environments to facilitate a software based solution providing uniqueness and immutability of a license server hosted in the cloud. Avoiding features of the underlying hardware systems results a much more flexible and reliable platform for hosting license servers. Features of a cloud storage service can be used to create a unique ID for a license server. Security and reliability of license servers hosted in a pubic cloud environment is also improved.
