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
application deletion data.
