Abstract

In various embodiments, methods and systems for license-messaging using cloud public-messaging infrastructures are provided. A cloud public-messaging infrastructure supports license message communication between applications. The cloud public-messaging infrastructure may implement license-messaging that circumvents network control units that control communication to the network components. A license-messaging channel is initialized with an on-premise relay service using the cloud public-messaging infrastructure. A cloud-based relay service listens for a license request from the cloud-based application. The license request is pushed using the cloud public-messaging infrastructure such that the license request is pulled through the license-messaging channel via the on-premise relay service to the on-premise license server. A response to the license request is received at the cloud-based relay service, via the on-premise relay service using the license messaging channel, and forwarded to the cloud-based application.
