Abstract

Securely performing file operations. A method includes determining a licensing characteristic assigned to a file. When the licensing characteristic assigned to the file meets or exceeds a predetermined licensing condition, then the method includes performing a file operation on the file in a host operating system while preventing the file operation from being performed in the guest operating system. When the licensing characteristic assigned to the file does not meet or exceed the predetermined licensing condition, then the method includes performing the file operation on the file in the guest operating system while preventing the file operation from being performed directly in the host operating system.
