Abstract: A system, method, and desktop mobile information provider for unifying mobile devices with provisioned endpoints. In one illustrative embodiment, a user's mobile device can receive a mobile event. The mobile device can then transmit the mobile event to either a private branch exchange directly or through a unified communications server. The mobile event can then be displayed to the user's private branch exchange provisioned endpoint, and in one embodiment, the provisioned endpoint being a private branch exchange desk phone. The mobile event can be displayed to the provisioned endpoint using text, light emitting diodes for message waiting indicators, audible tones, or graphics if the desk phone supports it. The provisioned endpoint can provide a response mechanism when a mobile event is received. Often, the mobile event can be a live call whereby the user at their provisioned endpoint can respond to the call without the use of the mobile device.

Abstract: The software site licensing system includes a workstation that receives a license file from a license sales site and stores the license for uploading to a client site. The workstation connects to the client and transfers a copy of the license for validation. The client reviews the license and determines if the license is valid for its site and software application. Assuming the license is valid, the client indicates the same to the workstation and license is applied to the client as the current license. Additionally, the workstation generates a summary of proposed modifications that will result from the license being applied to the client. The summary can be viewed and approved by an installer to ensure the proper license is being installed. As new licenses are applied to the client, the older licenses are stored at the client for future reloading if needed.

Abstract: The software site licensing system includes a client site having a target unit and a license sales site for generating a corresponding site license. The sales site receives an order for a target unit from the client and sends the physical order to a warehouse for shipping. The sales site determines the intangible portion of the order and establishes a virtual warehouse for the client to inventory the intangibles (license components). The warehouse notifies the sales site of the unique identifiers on the target prior to shipping so the sales site can link the en-route target with the client. The client accesses its personal virtual warehouse and selects the license components desired for the site license. The system assembles the site license and upon request, transmits the site license from the virtual warehouse to the target unit for installation.
