Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing digital content for an application to users. For example, systems described herein can provide a license for the digital content during a rental time. Systems disclosed herein may additionally track a duration of use of an application and compare the tracked use against an amount of rental time purchased (e.g., rented) by a user. The systems described herein may further extend a license or terminate the license based on a determination of whether the amount of use exceeds a rental time. Features and functionality described herein provide a flexible and efficient mechanism that enables users having a variety of content-consuming preferences to receive affordable content while ensuring that use of an application is efficiently and accurately tracked.
