Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed at obtaining user feedback and causing a package of content updates to be created and distributed based on the received feedback. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided for creating a package that contains one or more content updates configured to change the content that is displayed by default when a program executes. More specifically, the method includes obtaining input that describes one or more content updates. In this regard, the input received may include the user-defined content that will be displayed when the program executes and the identity of the content displayed by default. Then, the method assembles selected content updates into a package that is suitable for transmission over a network connection. When the package is assembled, processing is provided that allows the content updates in the package to be implemented on a remote computing device.

Abstract: A user may enable features of a software application installed on a processing device only when the processing device is at a location for which the processing device is authorized to use the software application. If the processing device is offline, the processing device may refer to data in a component of the processing device to determine whether the data includes an authorized value. If processing device determines that the data has the authorized value, then the features of the installed software application may be enabled. In some embodiments, data with respect to unauthorized use of the software application may be recorded. In other embodiments, a determination may be made regarding whether a processing device, associated with an entity, violates a license agreement of the entity with respect to an installed software application. If the license agreement of the entity is determined to be violated, then information may be recorded.

Abstract: As a user interacts with a program, an object may be presented that, when invoked, allows the user to provide feedback about content encountered when using a program. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that collects feedback from the user at a centralized computer system. The method includes allowing a user to generate an event in order to provide feedback while using a program. In response to the event being generated, the method collects a set of data that includes (1) contextual data from which the source of the content may be identified; (2) the identity of the content selected by the user; and (3) user generated feedback that describes an issue with the content. Then, the set of data is communicated from a computer associated with the user to a centralized computer system.
