摘要： Software typically changes over its useful lifetime. New versions of software are created to change or improve functionality, to add functionality, to correct coding errors, improve performance, to adapt to new hardware and for many other well-known reasons. The process of delivering new versions of software to users is called servicing the software. The operating system decides which version(s) of a piece of software satisfy dependencies of other software by creation of a context. The context may be used to organize and manage versions of software, to declare activation policies concerning the use of different versions of software and to service the versioned software. The context may include an activation service that maintains and manages resolution polices, resolves dependencies, constructs the environment in which an application runs and initiates the running of the software.

摘要翻译： 软件通常会在其使用寿命内改变。 创建新版本的软件来更改或改进功能，添加功能，纠正编码错误，提高性能，适应新硬件以及许多其他众所周知的原因。 将新版本的软件交付给用户的过程称为服务软件。 操作系统通过创建上下文来确定一块软件的哪个版本满足其他软件的依赖性。 上下文可用于组织和管理软件版本，声明有关使用不同版本软件的激活策略，并为版本化软件提供服务。 上下文可以包括维护和管理解决策略，解决依赖性，构建应用程序运行的环境并启动软件运行的激活服务。
