Abstract
A method of managing a license for a software module of a vehicle having a plurality of operating states includes receiving, by a processor, license term data of the license. The license term data includes an expiration time limit of the license. The method also includes observing, by a sensor, a condition of the vehicle. Additionally, the method includes determining, by the processor, an operating state of the vehicle based on the condition observed by the sensor. Furthermore, the method includes determining, by the processor, whether to deny access to the software module according to the expiration time limit based on the determined operating state.
