A license issuing means issues a license file to an application program using a library containing a plurality of functions. The license file contains licensed function information for specifying a function allowed to be used among the plurality of functions contained in the library. An authentication means performs license authentication based on the license file. A function activation means activates a function specified by the licensed function information among the plurality of functions in the library based on a result of the license authentication. A program execution means executes the application program by using the activated function.

A method for an information processing apparatus in which a hybrid application having both a function of a native application and a function of a web application operates and that is communicable with a server, the method includes transmitting, upon acceptance of a predetermined user operation, an acquisition request for information about the web application to the server, reading information about the native application saved in advance in the hybrid application, and displaying information generated from the acquired information as a response to the acquisition request and the read information, as a result of the predetermined user operation.

A system, process, and computer-readable medium for configuring agents for monitoring deployed applications is described. A system, process, and computer-readable medium for configuring monitoring user interfaces, e.g., monitoring dashboards, that use information made available from the agents is also described. Through using application data available during creation of the agents, the agents may be configured using the user interface as modified by selections and displaying subsequent choices from the received application data. Using knowledge of the generated agents, monitoring dashboards may be generated via developers interacting with a user interface providing a list of available metrics accessible by the generated agents. Using the one or more user interfaces, developers may generate agents and/or monitoring dashboards with greater efficiency.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing device and an information processing system which enable management of acquisition of a content and use of an acquired content.

A content acquired in a content acquisition permission area and ticket identification information associated with the content and configured to identify a ticket for entering the content acquisition permission area are supplied to an external device. Whether or not to permit use of a content is determined on the basis of user-related information that is information regarding a user corresponding to ticket identification information associated with the content acquired in a content acquisition permission area and configured to identify a ticket for entering the content acquisition permission area. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing device, an information processing device, an imaging device, an electronic device, an information processing method, a program, and the like.

An information handling system retrieves entitlement associated with installing a software application, and downloads the software application associated with a version number. If the software application requires a marker associated with an original equipment manufacturer of the information handling system, then the marker may be copied from the original equipment manufacturer to the information handling system and associated with the software application. The software application may then be installed on the information handling system at a customer site.

An application management server includes: a communications unit to receive status information regarding applications installed in an image forming device; and a processor to prevent billing for an application that is classified, based on the status information, as not having a log of normal operation or as being incapable of normal operation.

Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of configuring a license for a component configurable with a computer system, comprising storing the component on the computer system. The implementations further include encoding computer system information corresponding to the computer system into a barcode, such as a Quick Response (QR) code. Additionally, the implementations further include displaying the barcode and a license identifier field. Additionally, the implementations further include receiving a license identifier in the license identifier field, wherein the license identifier is based on the barcode. Additionally, the implementations further include decoding the license for the component based on the license identifier.

A system for managing and facilitating the preview, sale and transfer of digital media files, such as digital photographs and/or digital videos, preferably through text messaging that provides streamlined transactions between photographers and/or videographers and purchasers of digital media files.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming mechanism, a panel serving as a user interface of the image forming mechanism, a receiver that receives an image forming instruction for the image forming mechanism from a user of an information processing apparatus, and a display controller that controls the panel to display, in response to the receiver receiving the image forming instruction, a message about management of a license related to software installed in the information processing apparatus by referring to management information of the software.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for upgrading libraries in a source code program by evaluating libraries in the source code program for predetermined selection criteria specifying library performance limitations to identify at least a first library which does not meet the plurality of predetermined selection criteria and then identifying a first alternative library that is suitable for substitution for the first library so that the source code program may be automatically modified to replace the first library with the first alternative library, thereby generating a modified source code program having an upgraded library functionality.
