Abstract:

The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, a program, an electronic device, and an information processing system that enable use of a time-limited floating license in an electronic device that does not directly communicate with an information processing device that provides a floating license. An information processing device includes a license management unit that sets at least one of a first use start date and time or a first use end date and time of a license to be provided to a first electronic device on the basis of a date and time of a hardware clock, and responds to return of the license from the first electronic device and provision of a second electronic device with the license returned from the first electronic device until the date and time of the hardware clock pass a first valid period with reference to the first use start date and time or pass the first use end date and time. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a server that provides a floating license.
