Abstract: A project analysis system and method is described to allow for automated generation of scalable bootable applications and downloadable applications, preferably in connection with an integrated development environment (IDE). The project analysis system and method includes facilities for automatically identifying and including software components in application development projects based on symbol dependencies and component dependencies. The project analysis system and method also includes facilities for automatically identifying and removing software components in application development projects where no symbol dependencies or component dependencies exist, thereby removing unused code. A graphical user interface is provided for user display and selection of includable and excludable components.

Abstract: A method for controlling the update installation behavior of a computing device according to installation attributes is presented. When present, a mandatory installation attribute associated with a software update causes the installation process executed on the computing device to disallow a user to selectively not install the software update. A priority installation attribute causes the computing device to request a higher amount of network bandwidth for obtaining the software update's content for installation on the client computing device. A deadline installation attribute associated with the software update causes the computing device to permit a user to selectively not install the software update until an associated deadline passes, at which time the software update is installed without further user interaction. A zero system interruption (ZSI) installation attribute causes the computing device to automatically install the software update without user interaction if the computing device is properly configured.

Abstract translation: 提出了一种根据安装属性来控制计算设备的更新安装行为的方法。 当存在时，与软件更新相关联的强制安装属性导致在计算设备上执行的安装过程不允许用户选择性地不安装软件更新。 优先安装属性使得计算设备请求更大量的网络带宽以获得用于在客户端计算设备上安装的软件更新的内容。 与软件更新相关联的截止日期安装属性导致计算设备允许用户选择性地不安装软件更新，直到相关的截止日期过去，此时软件更新被安装，而无需进一步的用户交互。 零系统中断（ZSI）安装属性导致计算设备在计算设备配置正确的情况下自动安装软件更新而无需用户交互。

Abstract: In a network, such as an enterprise network, license related data of products of client devices are collected, aggregated, and reported uniformly. The client devices may be part of a managed node, and the license data may be sent (collected) by a central device, such as a server. Furthermore, administration of the products may also be performed.

Abstract: A tag-based structure for communicating software update metadata information to client computers and to update service nodes is presented. An update metadata file includes: an identifier tag including a software update identifier that uniquely identifies the software update; zero or more general properties tags that carry general property information relating the software update; zero or more localized properties tags that carry localized property information organized according to language; zero or more relationship tags that identify dependency relationships the current software update, as described in the update metadata, has with other software updates; zero or more applicability rules tags that carry information for determining the applicability of the software update to a client computer; zero or more files tags that carry information relating to the software update's payload files; and handler specific data tags that carry information directed to the software handler for installing the software update.
