Abstract
One exemplary embodiment provides a synchronization device for updating information stored at a first device used for account management of a subscription for a software product. The synchronization device receives a status of the subscription from a second device that provides billing transactions associated with the subscription. The second device maintains the status of the subscription to reflect changes based on the billing transactions associated with the subscription. Based at least in part on the status of the subscription received at the synchronization device from the second device, the synchronization device provides information for the first device to update a status of the account associated with the subscription.
