Abstract: System and methods are presented for configuring and managing metadata switches and platform licenses in a distributed system. Using metadata switches, a platform license can be developed for a software product without the need for an engineer to develop the platform license by hand. A software application depot can be used to configure metadata switches that provide configuration information for a particular aspect of the software product and, when associated to a platform license that utilizes metadata switches, generate an accessible platform license for use by tenant organizations.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for parsing, at a server, a design file including code for a user interface, where the code is readable by the server into a tree representation having nodes, the nodes represent design elements of the user interface and includes one or more design properties, a unique identifier, and references to child elements. The server traverses the tree representation and comparing the design elements of the tree representation to a set of factors to determine when the design elements and meet a criteria to be a subcomponent for one or more components of the code of the design file. The server adds the design elements to a list of subcomponent candidates that meet at least one of the set of factors to be a subcomponent. The server generates a tree structure for the one or more components using the list of subcomponent candidates.
