Original Abstract Submitted
Seat-assignment based resource tracking is used to track usage, or consumption, of resources under a license. An account includes a license for a plurality of resources. An allotment is generated under the account and populated with a plurality of seats. Populating the allotment with the plurality of seats automatically authorizes the populated plurality of seats for access to a portion of the plurality of resources. When the plurality of resources are accessed by a device associated with a seat of the authorized plurality of seats, the usage of the plurality of resources by the device is tracked.
