Abstract: A method for converting licenses from one product to another product is described. The method includes: accessing client product license information for a client, wherein the client product license information comprises product licenses acquired by the client; determining if the client product license information comprises an available license that covers the first product and that could cover the second product associated with the client; and if a status determination is made that the available license exists, then presenting a discovered available license for conversion from covering the first product to cover the second product.

Abstract: A web browser sends to a web-application server a request to access a web application. The web server transmits to the web browser a parent document with an inline frame (iframe) containing a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to an authentication location. In response, a child document is transferred to the web browser. The child document occludes the parent document and presents a user interface for user authentication. Rather than wait until authentication is complete to begin transferring prerequisite files, the web-application server at least partially transfers to the web browser prerequisite files for the web application during the authentication process. This reduces the post-authentication delay involved in transferring prerequisite files, improving the user experience.
