Cloud Computing Infrastructure, Method and Application
First Claim
1. A cloud computing infrastructurehaving a rights management device (2) which is designed to manage operating rights (4) for at least one application (3) which can be executed in the cloud computing infrastructure (1) for the purpose of controlling the operation of the at least one application (3) in the cloud computing infrastructure, to evaluate the managed operating rights (4) with respect to execution of the at least one application, and to output an execution enable (5) on the basis of the evaluation of the operating rights (4);
- having an execution device (6) which is designed to execute the at least one application (3) in the cloud computing infrastructure (1) on the basis of the execution enable (5) which has been output.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a cloud computing infrastructure having a rights management device, which is designed to manage operating rights for at least one application which can be executed in the cloud computing infrastructure for the purpose of controlling the operation of the at least one application in the cloud computing infrastructure, to evaluate the managed operating rights with respect to execution of the at least one application and to output an execution enable on the basis of the evaluation of the operating rights, and having an execution device which is designed to execute the at least one application in the cloud computing infrastructure on the basis of the output execution enable. The present invention also discloses a method for operating at least one application in a cloud computing infrastructure and an application for execution in a cloud computing infrastructure.
