Abstract
Techniques are provided for generating license agreements specific to a computer product (e.g., software or hardware). In one example, vendor license manager receives an order from a customer for a computer product having a product identifier. Upon identifying an agreement corresponding to the product identifier, the license manager further embeds terms and conditions based on specifications of the customer order. After the customer reviews the agreement and accepts, the license manager associates the product-specific agreement, the acceptance, and the order to a logical customer account.
