Abstract
A license compliance verification system and method includes a license manager that internally monitors the use of licensed property and gathers data over specified time periods about the usage of the licensed property relative to a plurality of parameters including a parameter that defines the licensors of the licensed property.

The collected data is authenticated to assure licensors that it has not been tampered with.
