Abstract
A usage management system for tracking usage of applications available to subscribers of an interactive network includes an application server adapted to process a plurality of applications on demand by the users. The application server generates a plurality of event records each event record including at least one active domain identifier representing a domain being executed. Each domain represents an executable logical location within an application. A usage processing server is coupled to the application server, which is adapted to receive signals from the application server corresponding to the generated event records. The usage processing server is further adapted to track the time of occurrence of each domain identified in each event record.
