  • ENFORCEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT OF USAGE RIGHTS
    Publication number: 20130144633
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that assign and/or enforce usage rights for a software application. Further, the systems and methods assign and/or enforce usage rights for a software application with one or more users by decoupling the identity of the person who purchases the application from the actual users of the application. Additionally, the systems and methods provide for centralized built-in user assignment with support for multiple applications.

  • Merging modifications to user interface components while preserving user customizations
    Patent number: 8302014
    Abstract: An application displays a user interface (UI) component. A client can apply customizations to this UI component. After the client applies customizations to the UI component, the client modifies a solution set containing solutions that modify the UI component. After the client modifies the solution set, the application displays a new version of the UI component. Modifications provided by the solutions in the solution set are applied to the new version of the UI component. In addition, the customizations remain applied to the UI component without the client manually re-applying the customizations to the UI component.

  • MULTI-LAYERED STORAGE AND MANAGEMENT OF SOFTWARE COMPONENTS
    Publication number: 20100146478
    Abstract: Architecture that employs multi-row entities to store solution components using columns, properties and logic that track solution components by storing different versions (states) of the component into multiple rows. Component modification includes adding and/or modifying multiple rows, thereby facilitating support operations such as uninstall by retaining versions information of the same component. A master solution component table tracks all the root components of a solution, and logic implemented in code traverses the root nodes to discover all children nodes to efficiently track all components of a solution. The logical states of protected and unprotected for solution allow customers to develop multiple solutions on the same system (organization), protect a solution, and build composite applications with multiple solutions involved (layering of solutions). Multi-row storage facilitates the storage of the component definition and associated solution.
