1. A system that facilitates user-centric licensing of a plurality of resources, the system comprising:

  • an interface component that receives an access request that corresponds to a subset of the resources; and

    an aggregated resource license component to;

    establish identity of a requestor associated with the access request;

    maintain a cloud-based store of multiple resource licenses previously obtained by the requestor;

    determine whether the identity of the requestor is associated with the multiple resource licenses;

    verify that one or more resource license of the multiple resource licenses in the cloud-based store is a resource license of, and allows access to, each resource of the subset of resources;

    allow the requestor to access the subset of resources upon;

    determination that the identity of the requestor is associated with the multiple resource licenses; and

    verification that at least one resource license of each resource of the subset of resources exists in the multiple resource licenses stored in the cloud-based store; and

    when the identity of the requestor is determined to be associated with the multiple resource licenses and the multiple resource licenses are verified to include licenses associated with the subset of resources, generate a token which includes the identity and an aggregation of the multiple resource licenses, the token being used to grant access to the subset of the resources residing off-premise, on-premise, or in combination thereof.
