An example of a computer-readable medium to store machine-readable instructions. The instructions may cause a processor to verify a licensing object and determine a license has expired. An application may be controlled based on an expiration parameter specific to the licensing object.

Control of applications based on licensing objects

An example graphics system can include a first portion including a graphics driver and graphics hardware and a second portion communicatively coupled to the first portion. The second portion can include a display system communicatively coupled to a GUI application and a shim layer to shield the second portion from failure responsive to failure of the first portion.

Failure shield

Example implementations relate to memory mode categorization. An example boot process modification can include invoking a first service of a client operating system (OS) on top of an enabled host OS, modifying a boot process of the host OS using the first service, and executing applications within the client OS based on the modified boot process of the host OS.

Boot process modification

A header section of a package may be downloaded from a server. The header section may be analyzed to determine if a data section of the package is secure and a correct version. The data section of the package is downloaded, if the data section is secure and the correct version. The package is a single file.

Header section download of package

An example method for accessing a target resource in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure includes retrieving a configuration from a local profile associated with a user on a device, automatically completing a login form for a web interface based on the configuration, identifying a target resource by parsing a list of resources received from a server in response to the completed login form, and automatically launching the identified target resource based on the configuration.

Resource access

Example embodiments relate to distribution of a profile from a server to a client. In example embodiments, a server enables an administrator or other user to embed a file into a profile, where the profile is a structured document including the file and a storage location for the file on the client. The server may then transmit the profile to the client, which, upon receipt of the profile, may extract the embedded file from the structured document to a storage location on the client specified in the profile.

Client and server for installation of files embedded within a client profile

Data settings in a computer operating system are managed. The operating system includes sets of specific instructions (-), such as plugins, for managing configurations of software components () intended to run on the computer entity. A modification of settings required by an external program () involves a modification of configuration of the software components (), through related plugins (-). The operating system is architected so as to include a repository () storing data of settings, and a main program () having access to the repository in read and write modes. Upon request from an external program for modifying settings, the main program () is adapted for transmitting the request to the plugins, receiving from at least one plugin a response including an information of modification of settings required by the external program, and, upon verification of the information, validating the modification of settings and updating related data in said repository.
