Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing distribution and use of software applications. An application manager at an administrator computer may be configured to receive requests for registering an application from a client computer. The application manager may determine whether the request should be approved based on historical responses to similar registration requests. A response to the request may accordingly be sent automatically to the requesting client computer.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method for registering applications residing on one or more client computers, comprising:
- configuring one or more computer processors to perform an operation, comprising:
- receiving a request to register an application from a client computer;
- determining whether there is sufficient historical data comprising responses to previously received requests similar to the request to determine a response for the request to register the application;
- and
- upon determining that there is sufficient historical data, determining whether the request for registering the application should be approved or rejected based on the historical data.
A computer readable storage medium comprising a program product which, when executed, performs an operation for registering applications residing on one or more client computers, comprising:
- receiving a request to register an application from a client computer;
- determining whether there is sufficient historical data comprising responses to previously received requests similar to the request to determine a response for the request to register the application;
- and
- upon determining that there is sufficient historical data, determining whether the request for registering the application should be approved or rejected based on the historical data.
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of client computers, wherein each client computer is configured to generate a request to register one or more applications;
- and
- at least one administrator computer comprising:
- a memory comprising a program;
- and
- a processor which, when executing the program is configured to:
- receive a request to register an application from at least one client computer;
- determine whether there is sufficient historical data comprising responses to previously received requests similar to the request to determine a response for the request to register the application;
- and
- upon determining that there is sufficient historical data, determine whether the request for registering the application should be approved or rejected based on the historical data.
