Rent software keys?

[Elwar]

Would there be a way to rent software keys for bitcoins?

It would likely require different software for each key company but it would be great if possible.

If you only need some software for 2 weeks but a year license is $5000, then a couple hundred bucks for the 2 weeks would be good.

I would say not renting software key but software key with some expiration date, for instance for 2 weeks.
It can be done in 2 ways:

1. There is a web application generating and selling this software keys for BTC.

2. A programmed smart contract which can get or generate software keys. But in this case you will get ETH instead of BTC.

The Bitcoin blockchain can be used to track ownership easily. nLockTime could also be used.

Maybe software on each user's computer that checks the blockchain for ownership.
