Abstract
Systems, methods, and software described herein provide operations to manage software licenses in relation to a virtualized image. In one implementation, a system may, during a first initiation of a virtualized instance, execute a process to determine and store registration information associated with the virtualized instance. Once stored, the system may delete the process and use the stored registration information during subsequent initiations of the virtualized instance to determine whether to permit software on the virtualized instance to be executed.
