Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing automated, peer-to-peer migrations of entitled digital assets. A first identifier corresponding to a source system, and a first set of entitlement data corresponding to a set of digital assets installed on the source system, are processed to generate a first set of entitlements entitling the source system to use the set of digital assets. The first identifier is then cross-referenced to a second identifier corresponding to a target system. A migration request and the second identifier are received from the target system, which are then processed to initiate the migration of the digital assets from the source system to the target system. The second identifier and the first set of entitlement data are subsequently processed to generate a second set of digital asset entitlements entitling the target system to use the set of digital assets.
