License management system
First Claim
1. A license management system comprising at least one processor capable of executing processor-executable code coupled with a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing a license database and processor-executable code for causing the at least one processor to:
- store a current state of a network device indicative of no license key being associated with the network device in the license database;
receive, via an input port, information indicative of a master state of the network device including at least one license key associated with the network device;
update the current state of the network device to include the at least one license key associated with the network device, wherein the network device transmits optical signals on a fiber in accordance with the current state; and
store the updated current state in the license database.
