Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system for migrating digital assets may include a storage medium and a processor. The storage medium may be configured to store information regarding digital assets to be migrated from a source system to a target system. The processor may be configured to, for each of one or more digital assets associated with the source system, identify whether the digital asset is duplicated. The processor may also be configured to, for each digital asset identified as having a duplicate, migrate the digital asset to the target system such that fewer instances of the digital asset are associated with the target system than were associated with the source system.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system for managing the entitlement of digital assets may include a storage medium and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive digital asset usage information regarding usage of a digital asset within an enterprise. The processor may also be configured to receive entitlement information regarding existing entitlements for usage of the digital asset within the enterprise. The processor may further configured to receive available entitlement information regarding entitlements other than the existing entitlements that may be acquired for usage of the digital asset within the enterprise. The processor may additionally be configured to determine based on a comparison of the digital asset usage information to the available entitlement information, whether acquisition of entitlements other than the existing entitlements is more cost efficient.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system for managing the entitlement of digital assets, may include a storage medium comprising a catalog of digital assets and a processor. The processor may be configured to communicate from the information handling system identities of one or more of the digital assets in the catalog to a user at a target system remote from the information handling system. The processor may also be configured to receive from the user a request for a particular digital asset to be entitled for use on the target system. The processor may further be configured to responsive to approval of the request, cause the digital asset to be downloaded to the target system and entitle the digital asset for use on the target system.

Abstract: A system and method for installing and/or testing software for a build-to-order computer system having a plurality of components includes a plurality of elements. The computer system has an associated step sequence. The step sequence includes a plurality of steps where each step includes at least one command and a step is associated with a respective software component descriptor. The at least one command can be in more than one computer software language. A software component descriptor corresponds to installing a respective software component on the computer system. The method includes accessing the at least one command within the step sequence; determining a corresponding computer software language associated with the at least one command; executing the at least one command in the corresponding computer software language to install the respective software component; and repeating the accessing, determining and executing for the plurality of steps.

Abstract: A method of controlling a multi-state process in a computer system includes displaying a series of icons having corresponding titles representing phases in a build process. A main action message bar displays a title indicating an action which corresponds to the title of one of the icons. When the bar is activated the action indicated is performed, and the icon title corresponding to the last performed action is highlighted.
