Mobile licensing verification intermediary

1. A mobile communication device comprising:

a Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) module, wherein the WLAN module is configured to transmit a licensing request message to an authentication server and receive a licensing request response from the authentication server;

a personal area network (PAN) module, wherein the PAN module is configured to receive a time limited licensing request message from a client computer and transmit a licensing request response to the client computer;

a timing module, wherein the timing module is configured for use determining whether a licensing message window is open;

a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store one or more time limited licensing request messages;

an authentication module operably coupled to the WLAN module, the PAN module, the timing module and the memory; and

a processing module operably coupled to the authentication module, wherein the processing module is configured to:

control at least a portion of an authentication process executed on the authentication module.

2. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a wireless carrier module operably coupled to the authentication module, wherein the wireless carrier module is adapted to communicate with a wireless carrier network, wherein the wireless carrier network is adapted to communicate with the authentication server.

3. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processing module is further configured to control the at least a portion of an authentication process based on an application configured for execution on the mobile communication device.

4. The mobile communication device of claim 3 , further comprising an operating system module, wherein the operating system module includes the processing module.

5. The mobile communication device of claim 3 , further comprising an operating system module, wherein the application is under at least partial control of the operating system module.

6. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the authentication module is adapted to determine whether a time limited licensing request message stored in the memory is stale, wherein a stale time limited licensing request message is a message that is no longer viable.

7. The mobile communication device of claim 6 , wherein the authentication module is adapted to signal the memory to discard the stale time limited licensing request message.

8. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the licensing message window is open when the authentication server will accept a licensing request message.

9. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the licensing message window is open at predetermined time intervals.

10. A licensing verification intermediary comprising:

a wireless carrier module, wherein the wireless carrier module is configured to transmit a licensing request message to an authentication server and receive a licensing request response from the authentication server;

a personal area network (PAN) module, wherein the PAN module is configured to receive a time limited licensing request message from a client computer and transmit a licensing request response to the client computer;

a timing module, wherein the timing module is configured for use determining whether a licensing message window is open;

a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store one or more time limited licensing request messages;

an authentication module operably coupled to the wireless carrier module, the PAN module, the timing module and the memory; and

a processing module operably coupled to the authentication module, wherein the processing module is configured to:

control at least a portion of an authentication process executed on the authentication module.

11. The licensing verification intermediary of claim 10 , further comprising:

a Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) module operably coupled to the authentication module, wherein the WLAN is adapted to communicate with a Wide Area Network (WAN), wherein the WAN is adapted to communicate with the authentication server.

12. The licensing verification intermediary of claim 10 , wherein the processing module is further configured to control the at least a portion of an authentication process based on an application configured for execution on the licensing verification intermediary.

13. The licensing verification intermediary of claim 12 , further comprising an operating system module, wherein the operating system module includes the processing module.

14. The licensing verification intermediary of claim 13 , further comprising an operating system module, wherein the application is under at least partial control of the operating system module.

15. The licensing verification intermediary of claim 10 , wherein the authentication module is adapted to determine whether a time limited licensing request message stored in the memory is stale, wherein a stale time limited licensing request message is a message that is no longer viable.

16. The licensing verification intermediary of claim 15 , wherein the authentication module is adapted to signal the memory to discard the stale time limited licensing request message.

17. The licensing verification intermediary of claim 10 , wherein the licensing message window is open when the authentication server will accept a licensing request message.

18. The licensing verification intermediary of claim 10 , wherein the licensing message window is open at predetermined time intervals.
