Abstract: A reference configuration is defined in a main software by a set of reference data vectors, each reference data vector referring to a technical aspect of said product. A reference data vector comprises at least one configuration parameter and/or at least one constraint to be verified by a value assigned to a configuration parameter of a reference data vector. User data vectors are instantiated on the basis of a subset of reference data vectors of the reference configuration and define a user configuration. A software synchronization module 111 running on one said user terminal in the context of an auxiliary software generates at least one value for a parameter associated to a configuration parameter in the main software. The value is assigned to associated configuration parameter of at least one user data vector instantiated in the main software. A compliance check is performed relatively to constraints defined in the main software for the associated configuration parameter.
