Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for sharing assets of applications between users. A user may share an application or certain features within an application via the transfer of application rights between users. The providing user may be restricted from accessing that application or the application features transferred until the borrowing user has either relinquished the rights to the application or until a certain amount of time has passed.
