Abstract
An improved technique involves analyzing a system configuration upon a system boot and sending the configuration to a system configuration database that provides configuration details for enabling features of a software package. Such configuration details take the form of configuration parameters having values that may include, for example, an amount of RAM installed in the system, or the operating system used. The configuration database stores values of these parameters in a persistent store and makes these values available to the system when a software package is launched. At this point, the system accesses the database and obtains the values of the configuration parameters. The system uses these values to determine whether to activate particular features of the software package.
