A system and method for providing a collaborative work environment includes servers and client workstations. Client workstations receive data objects from one or more servers and combine the received data objects with stored templates to render HTML pages representing at least a portion of a common project. Users may view, edit, and create common documents for the projects and upload them to the server using a drag-and-drop interface. Additionally, since all file transfers take place using HTTP, project groups can span corporate organizations as well as time zones and geographic boundaries.

Method and system for providing a networked collaborative work environment

A method for controlling access to a product includes receiving a request for a product, generating a license string for the product, and transmitting that license string to a user of the product. The license string is generated substantially at the time a request is received. A corresponding system is also described. In some embodiments the product functions for a trial period before requiring input of the license string. License strings may be generated that extend the trial period.

Method and apparatus for controlling access to a product

A method for facilitating communication between collaborators in a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) environment which includes the steps of: receiving data via a network connection; storing the received data in a database; retrieving an HTML file from a memory element; and using the stored data in conjunction with the HTML file to generate an HTML page for display. The data received via the network connection includes an indication that an HTML page includes discussions among collaborators. The HTML page rendered for display includes at least one discussion among collaborators. A corresponding system is also disclosed. At least one vote/poll item can be embedded within a discussion group.
