Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for dynamically customizing software programs may include (i) receiving, from a client device, a request for a software program with client-specific customization requirements and (ii) providing, to the client device, a digitally signed download manager for downloading a client-specific version of the software program that satisfies the client-specific customization requirements, where the digitally signed download manager provides the client-specific version of the software program to the client device by (a) downloading, from the backend computing system, both the software program and client-specific data that satisfies the client-specific customization requirements and (b) customizing, using the client-specific data, the software program in a manner that satisfies the client-specific customization requirements. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A license control module manages the downloading of a software application so the software application can be executed without requiring a separate activation key. In addition, the license control module can incorporate into the software application vendor-defined user customization information to customize the software application. A client computer makes a request to download a software application, and the request is received by a server. The server incorporates licensing information into a download manager to generate a customized download manager that is specific to the download request and that is downloaded by and delivered to the client. The client executes the customized download manager, which in turn downloads the software application and associates the licensing information with the software application, altering the functionality of the application upon execution (e.g., allows it to operate or customizes it to the user, etc.).
