Abstract: A method and system are provided for managing access to resources available remotely from at least one computing device. The resources include at least one software application and at least one hardware component. The method and system involve storing access level indicators for indicating different types of access; storing identifiers for identifying different users with access to the at least one computing device and possible access to the resources; for each resource and each identifier, storing an access level indicator for that resource and that user; and before granting access to a resource for a user seeking access to the resource, operating a processor to: determine an identifier identifying the user; determine the access level indicator stored in the storage module for the identifier and the resource; and if access is consistent with the determined access level indicator, grant access to the resource, otherwise, deny access to the resource.

Abstract: A method and system for managing an emulation session of a computer product. The method and system involves receiving a request from a user device to establish the emulation session; establishing an electronic communication link between the user device and an emulation server for providing the emulation session to the user device; operating at least one server processor, the at least one server processor being in electronic communication with the user device and the emulation server and being separate from the user device processor, to determine emulation session data based on the received request and by monitoring the emulation session; to determine a plurality of emulation session parameters based on the received request; to determine a session action to be applied to the emulation session based on the plurality of emulation session parameters and the emulation session data; and to control the emulation session based on the session action.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing an emulation session to emulate a computer product for a host device. A method and system involve providing a communication link between the host device and an emulation bridge module provided on an emulation server separate from the host device; providing a host resource library file including a list of the plurality of resources available on the host device to the emulation bridge module; operating the emulation bridge module to determine emulation session resources required to provide the emulation session; selecting at least one of the host device and the emulation server for providing each required emulation session resource in the emulation session resources required to provide the emulation session: and providing the emulation session using the required emulation session resources provided by at least one of the host device and the emulation server.
