  • Method and apparatus for ensuring an allowable client configuration for an application
    Patent number: 7257623
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that ensures an allowable client configuration for an application. During operation, the client sends a request to access the application to a server hosting the application. In response the request, the server downloads an analysis application to the client. Next, the client executes the analysis application, whereby the analysis application gathers configuration data that specifies a present configuration of the client. The system examines this configuration data to determine whether the client has a configuration that allows the application to execute on the client based on pre-established criteria. If the client has an allowable configuration, the system allows the client to execute the application.
