Systems, apparatus and methods for management of computer-based software …

This invention describes a smart computer system that automatically manages software licenses for programs running on virtual computers. It identifies which virtual computers need specific software licenses and can move them around or adjust their usage based on available budgets, ensuring efficient and cost-effective software access. The system can also determine if a program doesn't need a license and move it to a non-licensed server to save costs.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of complex multi-cloud and containerized environments, this system's automated license and resource optimization, particularly with budget considerations, aligns perfectly with today's critical FinOps practices. The dynamic nature of modern cloud infrastructure makes such intelligent resource management far more valuable than in 2016.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComplex software system for resource orchestration
