    Abstract: The described embodiments comprise an electronic device that executes an application, the electronic device including a processing subsystem. In these embodiments, the processing subsystem is configured to acquire a receipt associated with the application, wherein the application was purchased by a purchasing entity and installed on the electronic device after being assigned to a user of the electronic device by the purchasing entity. The processing subsystem is further configured to determine, using the receipt, if the application has expired. When the application has not expired, The processing subsystem is configured to execute the application with predetermined functions of the application enabled. When the application has expired, The processing subsystem is configured to execute the application with the predetermined functions of the application disabled.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may configure a new device based on a current state of an old device, including settings, preferences, and other user data. The data may be transferred from the old device to the new device, and then relocated according to a manifest that details positions of the data on the old device. The destination device may be rebooted into a configuration mode to allow for the relocation of the transferred data, and then rebooted again to configure the destination device to provide access to the data in its respective relative locations on the destination device.
