Upon a first process encountering a triggering device, a second process chooses whether to proxy-execute code corresponding to the triggering device of the first process on behalf of such first process based at least in part on whether a license evaluator of the second process has determined that the first process is to be operated in accordance with the terms and conditions of a corresponding digital license. The license evaluator at least in part performs such determination by running a script corresponding to the triggering device in the code of the first process. Thus, the first process is dependent upon the second process and the license for operation thereof.
A computer having thereon:
A method in combination with a computer having a first process operating thereon and comprising code to be executed in connection therewith, the code including at least one triggering device, and a table including a code section corresponding to each triggering device of the first process and an address of the triggering device in the first process, the method for a second process operating on the computer to proxy-execute code corresponding to each triggering device of the first process on behalf of such first process, the method comprising:
