Publication number: 20140189346Abstract: Technology is disclosed for managing provision of licenses in an unsecure communication network (“the technology”). Various embodiments of the technology include creating a secure communication tunnel between a client device of a user requesting a license and a license server that contains the license for a secure transmission of the license from the license server to the client device. After a first successful authentication of the user, the license management server generates and sends temporary credentials to the client device. The client device uses the temporary credentials to setup the secure communication tunnel with the license management server that will be used to access the license server. The client device sends the request to the license server over the secure communication tunnel, which in response transmits the license back to the client device over the secure communication tunnel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2013Publication date: July 3, 2014Inventor: Kevin CURETON

Publication number: 20140129608Abstract: Technology is disclosed for developing digital content in a distributed content production environment. The technology can receive a request from a client system to access media files associated with digital content, where the media files are to be used for performing a plurality of tasks. The request further includes an indication of a particular task to be performed by the client system. The technology can determine a subset of media files used for performing the particular task. The subset of media files is determined by utilizing the dependency between the particular task and one or more assets to be used for performing the particular task. The technology can gather and provide the determined subset of media files to the client system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2013Publication date: May 8, 2014Inventors: Bobby S. BECK, Lance C. BURTON, Kevin CURETON
