Abstract
Embodiments of a manager/remote content architecture are described herein. The architecture, for instance, may provide management of content received from a content provider, such as to determine which client devices are authorized to output the content. Techniques are also described which allow one of the remote client devices to act as a 'limited manager' to allocate content usage by the architecture when the manager client device is not available.
