Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for managing applications. Responsive to receiving a request for access to a first application, metadata is retrieved that is written to the local drive of the computing device. Responsive to the metadata indicating that the first application is not written to the local drive of the computing device, a download request is transmitted to an application provider. A download package for application is received that includes one or more application files that are operable to execute the application when stored on the computing device without executing an installation process.
