  • Patent number: 7623684
    Abstract: Registration codes associated with applications loaded on an information handling system are stored in a registration code table by a registration code module and retrieved for use when needed by an application to perform a restricted function, such as install or maintenance functions. The registration code table is populated at manufacture of the information handling system or automatically based on user preferences as a user inputs registration codes. The registration code table is secured with authentication information on the information handling system or, alternatively, at a network location accessible by the information handling system.

  • Publication number: 20050182928
    Abstract: HTML links published in an HTML framework, such as a web page, select execution of restricted functions requiring a distinct user confirmation. Encrypted protocols associate with the HTML links are decrypted by a web browser retrieving the HTML framework for execution of the restricted function without the distinct user confirmation. For instance, binaries and scripts that are restricted from running upon selection through a browser until a distinct user confirmation is made instead execute automatically with selection of the HTML link upon validation of the associated decrypted protocol. Encrypted protocols are created by content author with a private key for security and are decrypted with a public key at an information handling system that retrieves the content to validate the content and execute restricted functions without further user permission.
