    摘要: A disclosure of a subscription service is provided, where this service allows for the running of unsigned content, such as games, on closed computing systems, such as gaming consoles. The subscription service checks whether gamer tags have an account to run unsigned games on any consoles on which the gamer tags happen to be residing. If so, users associated with such gamer tags can run unsigned content; if not, then they cannot (but may be asked or allowed to subscribe to the service). The subscription service has various facets, some of which include: gamer tags that can interact with the service while being distributed across a plurality of consoles; remote location of the service from the gaming console; user privileges auditing and revocation if users associated with gamer tags violate policies set out by the subscription service, and so on.

    摘要: Mechanisms are disclosed that allow for the communication between closed computing systems and other computing systems. Gaming consoles, for instance, can use the present mechanisms to communicate with PCs, especially when unsigned content is sent from the PCs to the gaming consoles. The disclosed communication mechanism can have multiple channels to send information (which may include code and/or data associated with the unsigned content) from the PCs to the gaming consoles. Such information may be distributed over several channels on the communication mechanism. For instance, the communication mechanism can first send a subset of a set of information from a computing system to a closed computing system. Then, depending on the closed system resources, the remaining set of information can be sent to the closed system. Various heuristics can be used to make a determination of whether to send the set of information following the sent subset of information, including but not limited to, GPU resources, memory resources, and the like.
