摘要：Cloud computing is a highly scalable distributed computing platform, and an emerging technology in IT industry, in which computing resources are offered 'as a service'. These services are categorized in three services software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). We are free to access these services with some specific protocols. So these protocols are bind together and are put together into the form of license by service provider. To access these services we require license, a legal authorization through which a cloud service provider authorized the user to use its resources on pay-per-basis and resources are provided on demand by the service provider. But due to lack of license management in cloud computing it is a challenge to provide availability of resources to the user. This paper presents an algorithm to provide license to the user. This paper provides authenticated access to the resources through remote license server. This license management architecture can be deployed in any distributed environment.
