  • Incentive system for distributing software over a computer network
    Publication number: 20030084439
    Abstract: A computer network is used to distribute software and a user is provided with non-monetary incentive to download and install the software. Electronic content is offered as an incentive for installing software on a client device. The electronic content may be offered using a Web page that includes a hyperlink that a user can select to request the content. When a server device receives a request from a client device to download the content from to the client device, the server device verifies that the software is installed on the client device. The server device then downloads the requested content to the client device if the software is installed on the client device.
