Abstract

Software validation is a long battle between software developers and software pirates. License validation is proposed as the protection of both developer’s revenue and intellectual properties. However, as the license model becomes more complex alongside the constant changing of technology and the economic environment, a trusted and auditable software licensing validation method is required. In this paper, we briefly discuss the desirable characteristics of licensing validation method and how Blockchain can provide these desirable characteristics.
