The codec will dynamically aquire a license and release it when done.
For latency reasons there will be a server that exists at anyone using
this schemes facilities. That server will prefetch a few licenses out
of their total amount, leaving some behind for others to borrow. Then
as it needs more it will get more, removing them from the global pool.
OK, Sounds good.
The other scheme is where you have a license server preconfigured with
your licenses only so that you dont get any spares to borrow from the
pool (currently its set at 10% above what you bought but that number may
increase as usage dictates).
I like the idea of "burstable" codec usage. In that respect, "autobuy"
is a great feature. If you use more, you receive an invoice which you
pay. Perfect "pay as you grow" kind of solution.
That is not for me to judge, the law is what it is and there is nothing
I can do about that right now. Patents exist in many places and until
they expire or the law changes ...
Oh don't get me wrong, I was in no way criticizing your businesses. Most
profitable businesses are often built on the back of such absurdities. I
believe your business makes this absurdity less absurd in a legal way,
which is a fantastic idea.
As such I predict it will be highly profitable... I'll probably use it!
Still, it's absurd :)
Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
