The registration of an individual for a service while providing protection against unintentional duplication of registration for the same organization. Upon receiving a request to register for a service from an individual over a network, it is automatically estimated as to whether the individual requesting registration belongs to the same organization as a prior registrant for the service. If so, the service notifies the individual requesting registration that they might belong to the same organization as a prior registrant. In one embodiment, it is then left to the individual as to whether they want to continue registering for the service.

Common organization estimation at registration

A user interface that allows for efficient resolution of license conflicts. The user interface includes a license conflict discovery mechanism that automatically discovers whether a license conflict exists for a license. Upon determining a subset of available resolution methods that are suitable for the administrator right corresponding to the user of the user interface, the user interface provides a resolution prompt. The resolution prompt prompts the user of the user interface to resolve the license conflict using any one of the available subset of resolution methods. The types of the offered resolution methods offered by the user interface differ according to the administration rights of the user.

Assistive, context-relevant images may be provided. First, text may be received. Then a spell check indication may be received and a spelling check may be performed on the received text in response to the received spell check indication. Next, in response to the performed spelling check, a misspelling indication may be provided configured to indicate that at least one word in the received text is misspelled. A selection of the misspelling indication may then be received. Then, on a display device in response to the received selection of the misspelling indication, a plurality of suggested spellings for the at least one word and an image corresponding to a first one of the plurality of suggested spellings for the at least one word may be displayed.
