ABSTRACT:
A method for allocating a plurality of user licenses for simultaneous use of a software application in a wireless communication system. The method includes negotiating allocation of a single user license over a wireless connection. The single user license is allocated to a mobile device including the software application. The allocation of the single license is tracked with a used license count using an entity in the wireless communication system. The software application is run on the mobile device after allocation of the single user license. The method further includes detecting termination of the wireless connection and, responsive to that detection, starting a first timer included in the mobile device and a second timer operatively associated with the communication system entity. Operation of the software application is halted on expiration of the first timer and the used license count is decremented on the expiration of the second timer.
