  • Patent number: 10402182
    Abstract: The dependencies of an application are identified by intercepting application programming interface calls made by an application. A determination is then made at the runtime of the application as to whether the dependencies of the application are present. If the dependencies are not present, a client device upon which the application is executing is configured such that the dependencies are present and are made available only to the authorized application. If the dependencies are present and the application is authorized to interact with the dependencies, the application is permitted to execute.

  • Patent number: 10165079
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing a persona-based application experience. In some configurations, an application can be adapted with a persona package selected from multiple persona packages. The persona packages may include persona-specific user settings, persona-specific application storage settings, or persona-specific application state settings. A persona package may be selected based on a current persona of a user, a time of day, and/or a location of the user. The selected persona package comprises a setting to adapt the execution of the application. In some configurations, a computer determines, a current persona of the user. The computer also receives a selected persona package comprising a user setting of the software application. The selection of the persona package is based on the current persona of the user and established credentials associated with the user. The computer adapts the execution of the software application according to the selected persona package.

  • Patent number: 9934064
    Abstract: Execution of an application is suspended and the runtime state of the application is collected and persisted. Execution of the application may be resumed based on the runtime state. A proxy layer might also be utilized to translate requests received from the application for resources that are modified after the runtime state of the application is persisted. For instance, the runtime state that is persisted may include first data identifying a resource in use by the application at the time the execution of the application is suspended. After resuming the execution of the application, the proxy layer may translate the first data included in a request for the resource to second data identifying the resource, or a different resource, at a time the execution of the application is resumed, and the second data can be used to provide the application access to the resource.

  • Patent number: 9600323
    Abstract: Execution of an application is suspended and the runtime state of the application is collected and persisted. Maintenance operations may then be performed on the computer that the application was executing upon. The runtime state might also be moved to another computer. In order to resume execution of the application, the runtime state of the application is restored. Once the runtime state of the application has been restored, execution of the application may be restarted from the point at which execution was suspended. A proxy layer might also be utilized to translate requests received from the application for resources that are modified after the runtime state of the application is persisted.

  • Patent number: 9443079
    Abstract: Application programming interface (API) calls made by an application are intercepted at runtime. A determination is made as to whether each intercepted API call is allowed or blocked by a restricted application execution environment. Each API call that is blocked by the restricted application execution environment is modified so that the API call is allowable such as, for instance, modifying the API call to execute against a shadow resource. Remediation code might also be executed at runtime to reformat the API call so that it is allowed to execute in the restricted application execution environment.

  • Publication number: 20160134721
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing a persona-based application experience. A query for a location of a persona package is received from a virtualization client. When the query is received, a current persona of a user requesting execution of a virtualized application is determined. The location of the persona package corresponding to the current persona of the user is determined. The location of the persona package is sent to the virtualization client in response to the query. The virtualization client is configured to execute the virtualized application adapted to the persona package.

  • Patent number: 9003543
    Abstract: In order to enable potentially conflicting applications to execute on the same computer, application programming interface (API) calls are intercepted when an application attempts to access a computer system's resources. During a learning mode of operation, a security monitor stores data in a security monitor database identifying which applications are allowed to access the computer system resources. At runtime of an application, the security monitor operates in an enforcement mode and utilizes the contents of the security monitor database to determine if an application is permitted to access system resources. If data associated with the application is located in the security monitor database, the application is allowed to access computer system resources, if data associated with the application is not located in the security monitor database, the application is not allowed to access computer system resources.

  • Patent number: 8931037
    Abstract: When a request is received to execute a virtualized application, an application virtualization client component evaluates an execution policy to determine if the application may be executed. If the application virtualization client component determines based on the execution policy that the virtualized application may be executed, the application virtualization client component publishes the virtualized application. The application virtualization client component publishes the application by making the virtualized application available for execution if the application is installed, and installing the virtualized application if it is not installed. The application virtualization client component also evaluates the execution policy during execution of the virtualized application.
