1. An Information Handling System (IHS) comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to:
receive, by a local resource service that is executed in a workspace that has been instantiated on the IHS, a request to execute an application that has been deployed in the workspace;
when a license entity is stored in the workspace, communicate, by the local resource service, with the IHS to obtain at least one of user credentials or IHS credentials associated with the application;
compare information in the license entity with the obtained user credentials or IHS credentials to determine one or more provisions indicating how the application may be used by a user associated with the user credentials or the IHS on which the application is being executed; and
execute the application in the workspace according to the obtained provisions associated with the application.
