Abstract
A method and system for issuing and redeeming digital coupons for requesting and granting modifications of licensed computer data products. Modifications include versions and configurations of the licensed data product as well as licensing issues related thereto. A product licensor issues authenticated coupons to customer organizations which utilize the licensed data products. The coupons are not necessarily specific to any particular computer or device, data product, version, license or configuration. Coupons can thereby be easily distributed to users within the organization. A user fills out the coupon with a request for the desired modifications and sends the coupon to the licensor, who fulfills the request by sending modification installation code directly to the user, thereby avoiding unnecessary overhead burdens on the organization. Digital coupons may be used in conjunction with external hardware devices ('dongles') or with internal software licensing modules.
