  • Patent number: 11922179
    Abstract: Software and system settings can be migrated between computing environments. In one example, a system can receive a group of software identification modules defining a group of software fingerprints for detecting a group of software components. Each software identification module can include a respective software fingerprint for detecting a respective software component. The system can determine that a source computing environment includes one or more software components from within the group of software components by analyzing the source computing environment using each respective software fingerprint in the group of software fingerprints. The system may then deploy the one or more software components in a target computing environment.

  • Patent number: 6480961
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for secure streaming of digital audio/visual content is disclosed. Secure streaming provides protection against unauthorized use of the digital content. Authorization and integrity checks are performed by a client or playback device on a set of data associated with digital content to be played. The set of data includes authorization and integrity information for content to be received from the source. Streamed content is received from the source by the playback device. The streamed content is intermittently checked for authorization and integrity. If the check is passed, playback continues; otherwise playback is halted.
