Abstract
A system and method for controlling software applications on one or more wireless devices (12) where each wireless device (12) is in selective communication with one or more application managing servers (16 and 30) over a wireless network (40). Each wireless device (12) has one or more selectively executable resident software applications (82) and at least one software application requires a valid license (84) for each execution, and upon the attempted execution of a software application (82), the wireless device (12) determines if a license (84) is present (92). If a license (84) is not present, the wireless device (12) selectively prompts (102), either automatically or at the direction of the user of the wireless device (12), an application managing server (16 or 30) for transmission of a license (84), receives (108) the transmitted license (84), and installs (110) the license on the wireless device (12) such that the software application (82) is again licensed and executable.
