Abstract
Methods and systems for executing an application by a computing device are provided. One method includes generating an operating policy for a processor executable application based on a licensing term; associating an identifier for storing the operating policy in a data structure external to the application; providing the operating policy to the application using an application programming interface (API) for controlling execution of the application; and executing the application using the operating policy.
Claims20
A machine implemented method, comprising;
- generating an operating policy for a processor executable application based on a licensing term;
- associating an identifier for storing the operating policy in a data structure external to the application;
- providing the operating policy to the application using an application programming interface (API) for controlling execution of the application;
- and
- executing the application using the operating policy.
A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method, comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:
- generate an operating policy for a processor executable application based on a licensing term;
- associate an identifier for storing the operating policy in a data structure external to the application;
- provide the operating policy to the application using an application programming interface (API) for controlling execution of the application;
- and
- execute the application using the operating policy.
A system, comprising:
- a memory containing machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions;
- and a processor module coupled to the memory, the processor module configured to execute the machine executable code to:
- generate an operating policy for an application based on a licensing term;
- associate an identifier for storing the operating policy in a data structure external to the application;
- provide the operating policy to the application using an application programming interface (API) for controlling execution of the application;
- and
- execute the application using the operating policy.
