Abstract: The registration of an individual for a service while providing protection against unintentional duplication of registration for the same organization. Upon receiving a request to register for a service from an individual over a network, it is automatically estimated as to whether the individual requesting registration belongs to the same organization as a prior registrant for the service. If so, the service notifies the individual requesting registration that they might belong to the same organization as a prior registrant. In one embodiment, it is then left to the individual as to whether they want to continue registering for the service.

Abstract: A user interface that allows for efficient resolution of license conflicts. The user interface includes a license conflict discovery mechanism that automatically discovers whether a license conflict exists for a license. Upon determining a subset of available resolution methods that are suitable for the administrator right corresponding to the user of the user interface, the user interface provides a resolution prompt. The resolution prompt prompts the user of the user interface to resolve the license conflict using any one of the available subset of resolution methods. The types of the offered resolution methods offered by the user interface differ according to the administration rights of the user.

Abstract: A computing system assisting a user in signing up for an online service using a third-level e-mail address for use in provisioning an online service. A first phase user interface is displayed to the user to assist in creating a third-level domain name. The user may enter the third-level portion of the domain name in this user interface, which in connection with a first-tier domain portion, and a second-level domain portion, formulates a third-level domain name. The third-level domain name is verified for uniqueness. If not sufficiently unique, the process repeats until a sufficiently unique third-level domain name is selected. A second user interface is then displayed that permits a user to enter a prefix, which in combination with the third-level domain name creates a third-level e-mail address. This third-level domain name may then be used as an identifier for an online service and/or to provision an online service.
