Cloud computing is a recent technology for computing through a virtual environment. In cloud computing resources are provided virtually for computation, storage and developing application. To access these resources user will have to take an authentication from the cloud service provider. To get authentication user will have to provide some specification for its request i. e. Time for which service is requires, its own details, QoS required. Authentication to the user is provided in the form of license. License is a legal authorization to access the resources. Any user using a service must be licensed for using the resources which it is using during it computation. These resources may be provided by the cloud service provider on demand over the internet or can be installed on the infrastructure provided by the cloud service provider, after having license for using these services. License in cloud computing environment is issued by auctioning. User makes a request for any resource then user is given resources with license and to get license user will have to participate in auction made by the service provider.
