Title of Invention

A METHOD FOR PROVIDING DOWNLOADABLE SUBSCRIPTION-BASED SOFTWARE

Abstract A system and method for the provision of downloadable subscription-based software applications to one or more wireless devices where the applications are downloadable from one or more application download servers across a wireless network. An accounting module receives subscription-based application download data from the one or more application download servers for each subscription-based application downloaded by a wireless device, and subscription-based application deletion data from each wireless device that has deleted a subscription-based application. The accounting module accounts for the use of the subscribed software applications based upon the subscription-based software application download data and subscription- based appli,cation deletion data.
