摘要:
A system and method for copying a run-time image independent of computer context from a source computer-readable medium to one or more target computer-readable media of a target computer. Software of the invention integrates the copied software product with the target computer. The software applies an operating system and/or associated application programs to the target computer as a run-time image.
摘要:
A system and method for manipulation of offline software. A software driver executing on a computer accesses and modifies target software while the target software is in an offline state. The software driver allows installation and configuration of an operating system and/or associated application programs to the target software when an operating system associated with the target software is not executing.
摘要:
Accessing files within a compressed image to boot from the compressed image. In one embodiment, the compressed image includes a boot environment and a software image combined to reduce file redundancy. The invention boots into the boot environment within the compressed image to install the software image on a computer.
摘要:
A system, method and data structure for transmitting a first image including a first software and for transmitting a second image including a second software, wherein the first and second images include common file data. The server simultaneously transmits the common data to first and second destination devices via the shared network. The server is adapted to transmit the first file data to the first destination device via the shared network and the second file data to the second destination device via the shared network.

摘要:
A first image of a first software which can be combined with other images of other software such that any one or more of the images can be restored from the combined image, and methods relating thereto. The method of making the combined image comprises creating a first image from a first software, creating a second image from the second software, and combining the first image and the second image into the combined image. Each image includes first descriptive data (metadata) corresponding to descriptive data of its software and includes file data corresponding to file data of its software.
摘要:
An image server store having a combined image including a first image of a first software combined with other images of other software such that any one or more of the images can be restored from the combined image, and methods relating thereto. The method of making the combined image comprises creating a first image from a first software, creating a second image from the second software, and combining the first image and the second image into the combined image on the server store. Each image includes first descriptive data (metadata) corresponding to descriptive data of its software and includes file data corresponding to file data of its software.

摘要:
Controlling access to functionality within an installed software product. The invention includes an authorization module that dynamically references authorization information when specific functionality is requested by a requesting entity such as a user or an application program to determine if the requested functionality is authorized to be executed. Further, the invention dynamically provides an opportunity to the requesting entity to purchase unauthorized functionality. In this manner, functionality within the software product may be enabled or disabled at any time (e.g., during installation, post-installation, and re-installation).
