This thesis is developed with collaboration and on behalf of Tetra Pak AB. The assignment was to create an internal system to manage site information and a license server to validate licenses. These systems are uniquely tailored for Tetra Pak’s requirements and the software they want to license. The internal system manages data that the sales division enters and creates text files from that site characteristic. It can also create keys based on hardware information collected from customer sites together with its associated site information. The license server is installed at customer site and handles license activation. It gathers information about hardware and activates the licenses based on the validation. Then the license server supervises the software if there is any deviation from the hardware information.
