Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for ensuring secure transfer of a document from a client of a network to a printer. That is providing a system and method enabling safe printing of a print job by securing a transmission of the print job through a network to a printer and only releasing the print job to a user designated by a client of the system and method to access the print job. Further, the present invention provides a system and method for distributing a document to a plurality of users while maintaining a secure transfer of information from the transmitting client to the plurality of users. Additionally, the present invention provides a system and method performing controlled discriminatory user access to a printer connected in a network by identifying users at the printer.

Abstract: The system and method automatically ensures the enforcement of specific computer printer or multifunction peripherals (MFPs) printing features according to predefined rules based on characteristics such as the originating computer user name, the originating computer application, or the originating file extension. A Client Service installed in the computer printers and MFP devices periodically retrieves the actual active rules from a central Server Service and then automatically applies these rules to preferably every incoming document to be printed.

Abstract: A system for enforcing license terms between the creators of software applications running on virtual machines in network-attached embedded systems, and the users of these software applications, allows trial and demo versions of the software applications, where the user can install and use the software application for a limited time or number of executions, or with a limited feature set. When the software applications are purchased, the restrictions are lifted by the issuing of a unique license key eliminating the need for user-specific builds and redistributing of the software application. The system includes an application manager client in the embedded system designating a software application license request to a predefined web server; a webservice running on the web server that receives the request, validates the user-identifying data, issues a unique license key, and forwards this key to the application manager client; and a license data base containing validated user information.
