Abstract: A package includes a first member and a second member. The second member and the first member define a first cavity. A periphery of the first member is joined to a periphery of the second member to define a sealed portion, such that respective perimeters of the first member and the second member cooperate to define an outer edge of the sealed portion. The second member includes a ridge at least partially circumscribing the first cavity while remaining inward of the outer edge. The ridge includes an inner wall, an outer wall, and a rim. Both the inner wall and the outer wall extend rearward from and substantially perpendicularly relative to the first member and are connected by the rim. At least a portion of the rim, over a length of the ridge, is substantially parallel to the first member.

Abstract: In one embodiment, and in accord with a method for monitoring software usage, a periodic determination is made as to how many of a particular hardware resource are active within a defined computing environment. Then, in accord with a number of the particular hardware resources that are determined to be active in the defined computing environment during a given time period, i) a count of permanent licenses, if any, that are available in a usage account of a software application configured to use the defined computing environment, is debited, and ii) upon exhausting the count of permanent licenses, a count of time increments, if any, for which a number of temporary licenses in the usage account of the software application are valid, is debited. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
