The device (i.e., having claimed the device of the application of the pre-installation being associated with device) that the application installed links with user account is only
One hwid.Uniqueness table may be alternatively configured as first number that storage is associated with the application being associated with user account
According to.When device claims some or all in the application of this device (that is, the two being linked) with a user account, device is only
One hwid or the unique identifier of application claimed are stored in uniqueness table.This prevent in the future for link
The request of the application claimed.Such as, the inquiry that whether execution unique identifier is in uniqueness table determines and unique hardware
The application that the device that identifier is associated has been pre-installed the most links with user account.Similarly, this inquiry also can determine that
The application being associated with unique identifier links with user account the most.As another example, uniqueness table can be configured to
By the unique hardware identifier of electronic installation together with the electronic installation previously claiming (i.e., linking) with user account
The metadata that individual or multiple pre-installation application is associated stores together.In other words, uniqueness table is configured to device only
One or more metadata that one hwid is associated with the application of the pre-installation of the device with the most optionally claiming it
Between one-to-many map.If not existence anduniquess hwid in uniqueness table, inquire about only for unique hardware identifier
One property table can not return, and if in uniqueness table existence anduniquess hwid, then can return to and select
The metadata that the application of the pre-installation claimed to selecting property is associated.This can make it possible to optionally claim with first user account
The application of a certain pre-installation on device, and another pre-installation application on device is claimed with the second user account.Other
In example, uniqueness table can be configured to keep the data base of application or the table linked with user account.The application linked
Can have the unique identifier being stored in uniqueness table, thus keep the latest data storehouse of the application claimed.
In one example, configuration service device 230 can carry out verified link request by the original configuration checking electronic installation
Effectiveness, in order to verify or determine specifically to apply when device leaves manufacturer and be pre-installed on electronic installation.Join
Put server and can also verify or identify that user has proprietorial application, no matter application the most installed on user's set or
It is associated with user account.Therefore, it is possible to identify that user has proprietary rights but without application that is associated or that install.Configuration clothes

Distinctive purchase evidence.Another type of receipt is counterfoil receipt.Counterfoil receipt comprises the subset of the information in true receipt,
And it is the part applying application when also being claimed not over user account.In one example, counterfoil receipt is unique
Ground identifies that this copy of application is to be different from other copy.This can allow server to determine whether to be claimed being somebody's turn to do of application by user
Specific copy (it can be donated user or otherwise be obtained by user).In another example, counterfoil receipt as with
The receipt that the application of pre-installation is associated is produced by manufacturer.In order to expedite and simplify manufacturer's installation for application, counterfoil
Receipt can include the minimal amount of information fewer than true receipt.Such as, counterfoil receipt can include to server this application of identification
Application identifier and the version number of identification application version.Application identifier can be the title being associated with application.Counterfoil is received
According to not including the information specific to buyer, the application the most when bought, and relate to be who buy application
Or on what device, it is mounted with the information of the application of this pre-installation.In other words, counterfoil receipt may not comprise user's account
Family, user account information or relate to client terminal device, calculate device or the information of other device.Application identifier can be with in advance
The title that the application installed is associated.In some instances, when apply be preinstalled on device or when device accurate
During standby payment, counterfoil receipt is produced by manufacturer.In other example, counterfoil receipt can be produced by server 260 and subsequently
It is sent to client terminal device 350 be associated with the application with pre-installation.Server 360 may be in response to client terminal device 350
The communication of periodic scheduling between request or server 360 and client terminal device 350 and produce counterfoil receipt.Once pre-install
Application claimed, so that it may by true receipt substitute counterfoil receipt.In another example, produce counterfoil receipt, as will with work as
The receipts that the application bought, give or be otherwise obtained in not being associated with client terminal device when obtaining application is associated
According to.This counterfoil receipt can be produced by manufacturer, application distributor or online shop etc..In some cases, counterfoil receipt can quilt
Batch processing is also assigned to application for distribution.Counterfoil receipt is stored on server and is used for qualification claims request.As
In example previously like that, during application is claimed, counterfoil receipt can be substituted by true receipt.Can be by client terminal device
350, other element in server 360 or client-server system 300 produces true receipt.
In the present example, update page request 301 include with pre-install application 310 be associated counterfoil receipt A 311,
The counterfoil receipt B 321 being associated with the application 320 pre-installed and the true receipts 331 being associated with application 330.Application 330
Buy from server 360 after buying client terminal device 350, therefore include true receipt.Request in person in response to refresh page
Asking 310, server 360 produces HTML 303, and it notifies application 310, the application 320 of pre-installation or the application that user pre-installs
Whether 330 have the available renewal can downloaded from server 360.Before user account is claimed in the application of pre-installation, no
What the application of the pre-installation can downloaded and do not claimed (that is, do not link with user account or associate) was associated can use more
Newly.Once can be downloaded and be installed to client terminal device 350 with renewal, counterfoil receipt just can be included and the most when purchase
Its of the application bought (that is, installing the date of available renewal), the user buying it and the initial electronic installation installing this application
The true receipt of its metadata is substituted.
Another type of page request is to buy page request 302.Buy page request 302 and may be sent to that server
360, with the list of the application that request has been bought by the user of client terminal device 350.In response to this request, server 360 can return
Returning html page 303, it is configured to notify application and the conduct that user has been bought by the user of client terminal device 350
The installed application in client terminal device 350 of option.Be not stored in client terminal device 350 bought should
With being downloaded and installed.What html page 303 may also include and can be used for claiming (that is, linked user account or be associated with) should
With.Can by update page request 301 or buy that page request 302 selects to calculate on device not yet relevant to user account
The application of connection is to claim.The application do not claimed can for request install on the computing device this application or desired should
Request in send receipt or other form of right evidence.
Buy page request 302 and can include inventory 340.Inventory 340 can be configured to storage with pre-installation application or with
The information that the application that alternate manner obtains is associated.This information can be used to notify what user can be used for claiming by server 360
Application.Inventory 340 includes being configured to store the list of version number of application, table or other data in client terminal device 350
Structure.The version number of application can be found in counterfoil receipt or other the metadata being associated with application.In one example,
Inventory 340 is produced when client terminal device 350 starts for the first time.Such as, can be by utilizing the optically focused on client terminal device
(spotlight) (that is, search) function searches for counterfoil receipt (it is used subsequently to produce inventory) on computers, comes in client
Inventory is produced during first startup of device.Inventory can be stored in configuration service device so that at application and the chain of user account
Connect period or accessed, as will be discussed during the reforestation practices of electronic installation.
In the present example, client terminal device 350 is queried the counterfoil receipt 311 being used subsequently to produce inventory 340 with location
With counterfoil receipt 321.Client terminal device 350 reformatting or recover during, pre-installation and be otherwise obtained in
Application all may be deleted from client terminal device 350.The application linked with user account can be re-downloaded to client
Device 350.But, there is the risk lost completely in the application of the pre-installation not linked with user account.As below the most in detail
As carefully describing, inventory 340 is as the mechanism of the application do not claimed that prevents loss.Application and user in pre-installation
Before account's link or association, it is impossible to download the application that can be used for claiming.Once can renewal be downloaded and be installed in visitor
On family end device 350, the counterfoil receipt that the application that inventory 340 just can be edited to remove with currently claim is associated.Further,
The application installed comprises true receipt.In some instances, by being installed on the application management program in client terminal device 350
(not shown) manages and operates and updates page request 301 and buy generation and the place of html page 303 of page request 302
Reason and retrieval.This application management program can be that manufacturer is proprietary, and can be configured to especially with belong to manufacturer
Server communication.
Client-server system 300 also can be claimed and be obtained by client terminal device 350 but be not associated with user account
Application (that such as, be given away, purchased but do not link with user account or be distributed to client by other means
Device).As an example, the application of acquisition can by update page request, buy page request or other page request with
User account links.Request can include counterfoil receipt or the metadata being associated with counterfoil receipt or therefrom deriving.As another
Example, inventory 340 (can i.e., also not have link with user account to answer being obtained the application do not claimed by client terminal device 350
With) time be updated.

(403).In other example, it is mutual that inquiry can automatically commence without user.Such as, server can be by with predetermined
Time interval or time point and client communication initiate inquiry.Can be relevant to the operating system of client terminal device by using
The function joined or the application or the program that are stored on client terminal device alternatively through use perform search.The receipt found
Or the copy of receipt is sent to server (405).Can be at such as any communication network such as Ethernet, the Internet and LAN
Upper transmission receipt.Server receives receipt and processes them to determine whether the application being associated with receipt has renewal (407).
This can include accessing the application data base of application data base 220 in such as Fig. 2 and compare the version number of receipt and be stored in
The version number of the application in application data base.This may also include, and the application being determined by being installed on client terminal device is configured
For being distributed by server, verify that this application is qualified and claimed.In certain embodiments, server can also verify this and applies
Not claimed before this time point, this can include that (from server or client) retrieval uniquely identifies this and installed application
The step that the unique identifier of copy and this unique identifier of checking are associated with any user account.HTML can produced
The page (408) or operate such as desktop application or smart phone application some other user interfaces time use have renewal should
List.Html page can include the information relevant to the application with available renewal.This information can include the former of application
Begin to buy the date, to the description of application with to the change in the application updated or the description of amendment.HTML only may be sent to that
Client has the example updating or can be used for the notice claimed with the notice one or more application of client.Server can
Then html page is sent to client (409).In some instances, server can send the identical letter of receipt in client
Html page is sent on road.As replacement, server can send to client and be enough to make client update locally-installed visitor
The information of family end application rather than pre-packaged html page also send it to client.
Fig. 5 illustrate that the renewal page request with the application for the pre-installation claimed is associated or with online business
The example of the html page that the user account in shop or market is associated.Html page 450 includes to be selected by user with request
Update the more new url 451 of the page.More new url 451 can be located on menu bar, and this menu bar has such as " characteristic ", " is in great demand
Catalogue ", other link of " classification " and " purchase " make the convenient difference accessing application management program quickly of user to provide
The method of feature.In some instances, the icon representing more new url 451 can include numeral, and it shows to be stored in client dress
There is in putting the quantity of the application of available renewal.Server and client can be passed through before user selects to update label link 451
Periodical communication between end device and produce this numeral in icon.
Such as, client terminal device can periodically with server communication, and retrieve there is available renewal stored application
Up-to-date version number.In the present example, more new url 451 is the most selected, and, in html page 450, provide that include can
With the application updated.This application is rendered as having the application of this application of description and describes 457.Application describes 457 can
Including the title applied, the author of application, the version number of application, the issuing date of application or other letter being associated with application
Breath.Application describes 457 icons 455 that may also include the identity providing application and the change realized in this more redaction of application
Summary 459.This can provide a user with information so that user can carry out valid decision about whether hope upgrading.If
User wishes that receiving application updates, then html page 450 also includes the optional link 461 that can be selected by user.At title
The quantity of the renewal that display is available at 453.Title 453 is configured to supply user can promptly determine the quantity of available renewal
Another convenient position.In some instances, html page 450 may additionally include having for renewal of title 453 side
The optional link of the available all application updated.
Returning Fig. 4, client receives the html page sent and presents html page (411) to user.Such as Fig. 5 discussion
As, html page presents graphic user interface, and it is listed has the application of available renewal, the description of application and can be by
User selects one or more links of the renewal to authorize application.Client can receive the user of more new opplication and authorize (413).
If user authorizes and is received, then in application, client can determine before being updated that application is the need of claiming (415).
This can include that the receipt checking the application being installed in client is to determine whether this receipt is counterfoil receipt.If receipt is to deposit
Root receipt, then the application being associated with counterfoil receipt is possible the most not claimed to the application of the pre-installation of user account.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to user authorizes, and client can present request user authorization this application to be claimed or to be associated with use to user
The html page (417) of family account.User authorizes and can relate to send personal information by communication network.For privacy reasons,
Html page notifies user, and personal information will be sent in licensing process, and asks to allow to send this by communication network
People's information.
Fig. 6 illustrate request user authorization claiming the example of the html page of application, this application can be along with calculating device
Buy and attached and/or pre-install.Html page 470 is the refresh page of four application presenting to user and having available renewal
Face.Thus, the more icon of new url 471 includes numeral " 4 ".In the present example, user is selected by " updating all " link 475
Select all of application of renewal.But, in other example, user also can by more new url 476,477,478 or 479 it
One and select to update single application.The application with available renewal includes application 472 and the application 473 of purchase of pre-installation.
In some instances, in this stage, presenting of the application of pre-installation and the application of purchase is the most distinct.But, once user
Selecting to update that pre-installed or other application not linked with user account, html page 470 just can present prompting to user
480.It is more fully described prompting 480 in the figure 7.
Fig. 7 illustrates that request user authorization is to claim another example of the html page of application.When user selects to update at meter
Pre-installed and be likely not to have the application being associated with user account on calculation machine or be only not update not and user's account
During the acquired application that family is associated, presenting prompting 480 to user, it also referred to as authorizes prompting.In the present example, prompting
480 include icon 481, login name 482, password 483, password help 484, describe 485, help link 486, account creation 487,
Cancel 488 and log in 489.If the user desired that more new opplication, then 485 offer text messages are described to notify that user is at this electricity
The application pre-installing (that is, subsidiary) on sub-device will be associated with user account.Describe 485 also to can notify the user that, in order to claim
Application, will send the unique hardware identifier being associated with electronic installation to determine whether to authorize this application to recognize to server
Neck.Icon 481 can be used with the application more New function of this application management program of labelling.Login name 482 and password 483 could dictate that
User wishes the user account being associated with the application of pre-installation.Need to may select password about the user of the help of password to help
484.Once keying in desired user account and key in correct password, user just can start to claim by selecting login 489
Process.If user does not have user account or user wishes that the application making pre-installation is associated with new account, then use
Family may select account creation 487.If the user desired that cancel and the most more new opplication, then user may select cancellation 488.And such as
Really user wishes the more detailed description about above-mentioned any key element, then user may select help link 486.At HTML page
Face request user authorization is not pre-installed on electronic installation with association but other of the application that additionally obtained by electronic installation
In example, describe 485 and can be modified to pass on suitable message to user.Such as, description 485 can be stated and " to be received in the future
Updating, application ' X ', ' Y ' and ' Z ' will be assigned to this apple ID.The unique identifier being stored on your computer is necessary
It is sent to Apple to verify qualification ".
Returning Fig. 4, client can receive user's mandate (419) claiming application.Can be by user by user account and close
Code key enters to receive in the prompting provided by client as shown in Figure 7 this user and authorizes.Once user authorizes and is terminated by client
Receiving, client may continue to claim application (421).Hereinafter describe in fig. 12 and claim the exemplary mistake being applied to user account
Journey.In some instances, the application of all of pre-installation must be associated with user account simultaneously.Therefore, user can not select
Property application and a user account of be associated with electronic installation one pre-installation of ground link optionally link and this electricity
The application of another pre-installation that sub-device is associated and another user account.Unique hard due to be associated with electronic installation
Part identifier may be enough to notify that the application that server pre-installs is claimed, therefore, claims on an electronic installation simultaneously
The application of all pre-installations streamlining management can claim the computing cost of process.Pre-peace in other example, on electronic installation
The application of dress is optionally associated with multiple accounts.Therefore, the application of the first pre-installation can be relevant to the first electronic installation
Connection, and the application of the second pre-installation can be associated with second electronic device.But, the management of application to pre-installation on server
May require the unique hardware identifier application plus the pre-installation claimed of storage electronics.These examples are also suitable
The application obtained is separated in the purchase with electronic installation.Such as, give and on the electronic device one group application is installed can be single
Ground or be associated with user account as group.
Fig. 8 illustrates for processing the exemplary method buying page request.Illustrate and performed by client and server
The method 500 of action can be configured to management and buy the communication between the client and server during page request.By servicing
The action that device performs can be by the distributing programs being stored in Distribution Center or be positioned at other parts of server side and perform, and by visitor
The action that family end performs can be performed by the application management program on the electronic installation being stored in client-side.In some instances,
The distributing programs being stored in Distribution Center and the application management program being stored on electronic installation can be configured to also updating
The method 400 of Fig. 4 is performed during page request.Graphical user circle that method 500 can be provided by client terminal device from user's selection
Purchase label link in face starts.Exemplary label link of buying can be the link 551 in Fig. 9.Receive in client
To when the user buying the page is asked (501), client can perform the search for application message or inquiry.Exemplary at this
Method in, application message can include inventory and/or receipt (503).In other example, application message can include not with
Application that family account is associated or software kit, here, user account has proprietary rights for software kit.Proprietary rights can be such as
The right evidence of digital receipt etc.In some instances, inventory can be similar or substantially similar with the inventory 340 of Fig. 3.Can lead to
Cross one or more programs available in client or function executing search or inquiry.Can include that inventory, receipt are (true and deposit
Root), user account information and the application message of other (such as the right evidence of application the most do not claimed or proprietary rights)
Server (505) can be sent in some cases as the software request of claiming.It is used for notifying that user installs for generation
Application, can be used for the purpose buying the page of application and the application that can be claimed installed, application message is sent to service
Device 505.The application message sent can be depending on user and logs in the most on the client.Such as, if user is in client
Upper login, then user account information is addressable and can be sent as a part for application message.As discussed above
Like that, user account information can include relating to the information of the application being associated with user account.Similarly, receipt can comprise and relates to
Information with the application that the electronic installation running client is associated.Inventory can include original be pre-installed on electronic installation should
Information or user there is proprietary rights but without the application being installed on user's set or be associated with user account
Information.This is only the exemplary type of application message, because also can send other class to server to produce the purchase page
The application message of type.
Server receives the application message (that is, inventory, receipt, user account and other user account information) sent
And produce one or more list of applications (507) based on the information received.List of application and for producing the process of list of application
Can change according to the information received.First list of application can include the application being installed on the electronic installation of client.Second should
The application being associated with user account and being mountable on the electronic installation of client can be included with list.3rd list of application can
Including the application that may link with user account.Application in 3rd list can include being pre-installed on the electronic installation of client
Application and/or client there is proprietary rights but the application not claimed or install.Also other list of application can be produced, all
Such as the application not also being associated with user account that is that buy or that be otherwise obtained in.According to the application received by server
Information, can produce in above-mentioned list of application is one or more.In some instances, the generation of list of application can relate to visit
Ask the application data base applying data base 220 in such as Fig. 2.Server can produce html page based on the list of application produced
(508).The generation of html page can include accessing first number that application data base is associated with the application in list of application with reception
According to.Such as, metadata can include application title, the description of application, the version number of application, the purchase data of application and with application
The image etc. being associated.Once producing html page, html page is just sent to client (509) by server.Client with
Rear line presents html page (511).Log in the most on the client according to user, present different information to user.
Fig. 9 illustrates the example of the html page being associated when user is not logged in purchase page request.In the present example,
Html page 550 presents the list of application 557 that can be used for claiming to user.In can be used for three application claimed, respectively
As shown in text 558 and 559, application " iMovie " and " GarageBand " has available renewal.Html page 550
Including buying link 551.In some instances, buy link 551 and can have identical with the more new url 451 of Fig. 5 or substantially
Identical function.Html page 550 also includes notifying the title 553 of the quantity of the application that user can be used for claiming.Describe 555 to
User provides the explanation of process of claiming, to helping user to determine whether he/her wishes to claim application.Html page 550 also wraps
Include and inform the user user and have to log on its user account to receive about the information of the purchase being associated with its user account
Instruction 552.In the present example, html page 550 also includes one that starts the process of claiming when selected by the user and accepts chain
Connect 554.In other example, html page 550 can be that each application that can be used for claiming includes that one accepts link, thus
User is allowed to select to accept single application, the multiple application that can be used for claiming that can be used for claiming or all can be used for claiming
Application.User can select to accept link 554 by touch screen, click, keyboard or other user input apparatus.
Figure 10 illustrates another example of the html page being associated when users log on purchase page request.Html page
560 present two list of applications to user.In the present example, list of application 562 present the application including can be used for claiming, and
Presenting of list of application 564 includes the previous application bought.Independent and the separate part of html page 560 presents
The two list of application.List of application 564 present the metadata that the application included and previously bought is associated, such as apply
Image, software vendor, purchase date and the state 566 that title is associated with application.State 566 can be display configured to be purchased
Buy the current state of application.Such as, when application is currently installed on the electronic installation of client, state 566 can be at "
Installment state ".When in this state, state 566 can be display configured to text " INSTALLED ".In the present example, four
The application of individual purchase is all installed in the electronic installation of client.As another example, when application is purchased but do not pacified
When being loaded in the electronic installation of client, state 566 can be at " installment state ".Such as, application may the most not be downloaded to
This device, or, application may the most optionally be deleted from device.When in this state, state 566 can be configured to
Display text " INSTALL ".Further, when being in " installment state ", state 566 can include at user option link.Select
This at user option link causes application be downloaded to electronic installation and be mounted.
Returning Fig. 8, client can receive the user as the request claiming application and input (513).In some instances, use
Family input can be the acceptance link 554 selecting Fig. 9.Client can request user authorization to link this application and user account
(515).Figure 11 illustrates and comprise html page request user authorization link application and user account being authorized to prompting
Example.
Figure 11 illustrates another example of the html page being associated with the purchase page request including mandate prompting.Work as user
Selecting to accept when the claiming of application of pre-installation, html page 570 can include authorizing prompting 575.Prompting 575 is authorized to be included
The html page of user is presented to afterwards as being sent from server and selecting to accept the claiming of application of pre-installation user
A part.In some instances, prompting 575 is authorized can to point out 480 identical or substantially similar with the mandate of Fig. 7.
Returning Fig. 8, client can receive user and authorize with link application and user account.User account is to authorize user
During the user account that is typed to.Such as, user can key in the user account to be associated with this application user name and
Password.After being received user by client and authorizing, client can continue to claim application (519).Retouch the most in fig. 12
State and claim the exemplary process being applied to user account.In some instances, the application of all pre-installations must simultaneously with
Family account be associated.Therefore, user can not optionally link the application and of the pre-installation being associated with electronic installation
Individual user account, and another application pre-installed and another user's account that optionally link is associated with electronic installation
Family.Unique hardware identifier owing to being associated with electronic installation may be enough to notify that the application that server pre-installs is recognized
Neck, therefore, the application simultaneously claiming all pre-installations on electronic installation streamlining management can claim the computing cost of process.At electricity
In other example that the application of the pre-installation on sub-device is optionally associated with multiple accounts, unique at electronic installation
Beyond hwid, what on server, the management of application to pre-installation it may also be desirable to store the pre-installation claimed should
With.
Figure 12 illustrates the method for linking the application of pre-installation and the exemplary of user account.It is shown in client and clothes
The method 600 of the communication protocol performed between business device can be configured to the application of managing concatenated pre-installation and the mistake of user account
Journey.The action performed by server can be performed by other parts of the program in Distribution Center or server side, and by client
The action performed can be performed by the application management program on the electronic installation being stored in client.This application management program can be joined
It is set to install, deletes, keeps or otherwise manage the software application being stored in client.In some instances, storage
Distributing programs in Distribution Center and the application management program being stored on electronic installation can be configured to also perform the side of Fig. 4
The method 500 of method 400 and/or Fig. 5.In some instances, can be in " continuing application to claim " (421) of Fig. 4 or " continuing of Fig. 8
Application is claimed " (519) execution method 600 afterwards.
Method 600 can produce unique hardware identifier (620).Unique hardware identifier can be used as the good title of application
Or the digital receipt of right.This unique hardware identification can be produced by the combination distinctive one or more identifiers of electronic installation
Symbol.Such as, unique hardware identifier can be based on the one or more identifiers being associated with the hardware component of electronic installation.Due to
The identifier of hardware component is unique, and therefore, it is identical for not having two unique hardware identifier.As an example, can pass through
The logic card serial number of combination unit and the ethernet hardware address of device produce unique hardware identifier.Can be gone here and there by use
Connect, shuffling, encoding scheme or other data operating algorithm combination logic plate serial number and ethernet hardware address.Unique hardware
Identifier can be sent to server as a part for the application of association pre-installation with the request of user account from client
(630).In other example that the application of pre-installation can optionally be claimed, the metadata that the application with pre-installation is associated
Also it is sent to server from client.Metadata provide to server allow server identification user be try to claim with
The details of the application of the selected pre-installation in the account of family.Unique hardware identifier and optional metadata is received at server
Afterwards, the application that server can be determined by pre-installing has fetched checking right evidence (640) the most with user account chain.Service
For unique hardware identifier, device can be by checking that uniqueness table determines that application is the most linked.Owing to uniqueness table stores
Comprise the entry of the unique hardware identifier of the electronic installation of the application claiming pre-installation, therefore, do not find only in table
One hwid means that electronic installation does not the most associate the application of its pre-installation any.If method 600 allows selectivity
Claim the application of pre-installation, then determine that operation can include that inquiring about uniqueness table is associated with unique hardware identifier to find
Entry.If finding this unique hardware identifier, then determine that operation can assess the metadata of the application with pre-installation
Entry, to determine that the application of selected pre-installation is the most previously claimed.
If determining that this application is the most previously claimed from search (that is, inquiry) uniqueness table, then to client loopback
Mistake (641).Client receives mistake and gives the user the warning (642) that application has been claimed.Figure 13 illustrates and claims warning
Example.Warning 700 notifies user, owing to the application of pre-installation has been assigned to another user account, therefore user wish with
One or more application that its user account is associated can not be assigned.On the other hand, should if determined from search uniqueness table
With not claimed, then server can perform integrity checking (sanity check) to determine that the application of pre-installation is
No is the part (650) of the original of electronic installation or default configuration.In other words, server determines that electronic installation is from manufacture
The application of this pre-installation whether it is mounted with when business is configured and is delivered.This integrity checking prevents user to be installed on one by original
Pre-installation application on individual electronic installation copies to another electronic installation and attempts relevant to user account for this illegal copy
Connection.Server may utilize unique hardware identifier query configuration server, is associated with this unique hardware identifier with reception
The original configuration of electronic installation.Original configuration can be checked to determine the list of the application of pre-installation.The application of this pre-installation
List can be try to compared with the application claimed with user, to determine whether application can be used for claiming.In other example,
Distribution Center can be stored in for inquiring about the copy of the data base of original configuration, thus allow unique hardware identifier is commented
Estimate and perform in Distribution Center completely.This may decrease to the Internet traffic of configuration service device.
If it is determined that user wishes that the application claimed is not a part for the original configuration of electronic installation, then can be to client
End sends error message (651).Once client receives error message, and client just can give the user electronic installation without money
The warning (642) that lattice are claimed.Figure 14 illustrates another example claiming warning.Warning 750 notifies user, due to electronic installation (this
In name be " Mac ") disqualification associate application and the user account of pre-installation, therefore can not be by assigned applications to user's account
Family.In other example, warning 750 can include for the original application being not configured with pre-installation of notice consumer electronic device
Purpose and the picture that provides or other statement.On the other hand, if it is determined that user wishes that the application claimed is the former of electronic installation
Begin the part configured, then can perform the integrity checking (if any) added.Once server authentication pre-installation
Application can link with user account, server with regard to the renewable uniqueness table being stored on server and user account (660),
To show that (and thus can not be claimed by another user account) is claimed in the application of the pre-installation of this electronic installation.As begged for above
As Lun, the application of the pre-installation claimed is the application of the pre-installation of the electronic installation being associated with user account now,
Therefore, with the renewal that is associated of application and re-download the electronic installation being downloaded to be associated with user account.Server
Approval message can be sent to client and go through (670) with notice this request of client.Owing to linking request is the most evaluated also
Being considered as real request, therefore, approval message notifies or informs client, applying now and on server of pre-installation
User account is associated.Client receives approval message the application linking pre-installation and the user account being stored in client
(680).In some instances, client removes and the application phase of the pre-installation linked with user account also by from inventory
The metadata of association, updates the inventory being stored on electronic installation.The metadata that the application removed and pre-install is associated can
By making to determine whether application can be minimized by the inspection claimed and perform and simplify the process of claiming.Then client can be
Request is sent to download application (690) to other parts of Distribution Center or server.
(post-installed) application (that is, answering by user installation that method 600 is installed after may be alternatively configured as claiming
With).The application of rear installation is included in after device leaves manufacturer or after device is bought by user and is installed in user's
The application given, buy, exchange or be otherwise obtained on device.Such as, method 600 can produce and to be associated with applying
Unique identifier rather than generation unique hardware identifier (620).Unique identifier could be for representing right evidence or answering
Buy evidence with the metadata that is associated of application.Unique identifier can be stored in the metadata of application, and subsequently
Retrieved by client terminal device.As an alternative, metadata based on application unique identifier can be produced.Such as, can be from application
Unique or metadata (such as obtaining date and/or the place of application) that not exclusive receipt is relevant with receiving application and client
Unique identifier that end device is associated and/or other metadata being associated with application or client terminal device, derive unique
Identifier.
In some instances, communication protocol can be depending on unique identifier is that the application with pre-installation (that is, is pacified by manufacturer
The application of dress) or be associated with the application (that is, by the application of user installation) of rear installation.Such as, when receiving from client
When unique identifier is installed because of with rear rather than the application of a part of original configuration of electronic installation is associated, communication protocol can
Skip the step for of confirming original configuration a part of that application is electronic installation (650).As an alternative, server can by than
The data base of relatively this unique identifier and effective unique identifier verifies the proprietary rights of right evidence or application.This can make clothes
Business device can distinguish and distinguish the effective of application and inoperative copy.Once right evidence is verified, and just claims application as user
The part of account.In order to determine that application is pre-installation or rear installation, server can be analyzed relevant to unique identifier
The mark of connection or other metadata.
In other example, communication protocol can be depending on the unique identifier received from client whether based on client
The metadata that end electronic installation is associated.Such as, server access the most linked data base or table are applied to determine
Can be depending on this unique identifier.For the unique identifier being associated with client electronic device, can be by server access
With update the first data base.First data base can be locked (key) and can search for by hardware based on electronic installation.For not with
The unique identifier that client terminal device is associated, can be by server access and renewal the second data base.In other words, these are only
One identifier is based entirely on and applies the right evidence being associated, and therefore, searching for the second data base will be based on right evidence or power
Certain variant of profit evidence.
Figure 15 illustrates the exemplary process of the reforestation practices on electronic installation.Usually, reforestation practices can allow electronics
The inside fatal error of device solution application or even operating system.In the extreme example recovering whole operating system, should
Method possibly even reformats memory element and reinstalls operating system.According to the specific implementation of reforestation practices,
The operating system being reinstalled as quickly as possible may be different.As an example, the operating system reinstalled can be original to be installed on electronics
Operating system on device, this operating system can be then by manual and/or automatic renewal.As another example, reinstall
Operating system can add announced one or more renewals since the operating system of original installation.In other example,
The up-to-date available operating system from manufacturer can be reinstalled.Usually, reforestation practices only reinstalls operation system
Unite and do not reinstall the application of pre-installation.For this reason, less than the pre-installation being associated with user account or link
Application may be lost.Process 800 is by solving this problem from configuration service device retrieval inventory during reforestation practices.
Process 800 can begin at entrance reforestation practices (820).Enter reforestation practices and can trigger the basic behaviour from manufacturer
Make the download of system.Basic operating system can be configured to produce unique hardware identifier (830).Can be by making in aforementioned manners
One of produce unique hardware identifier.Once creating unique hardware identifier, basic operating system just can be to configuration service
Device sends unique hardware identifier (840).Based on the unique hardware identifier received, configuration service device can return to include the most pre-
The inventory of the version number of the application being installed on electronic installation and these application.This inventory may also include the owner of electronic installation
There is other application proprietorial.In some instances, the communication server can be with Distributor communication to determine electronic installation
These application are the most claimed.If finding this unique hardware identifier in the uniqueness table of Distribution Center, then electronics
One or more in the application of the pre-installation of device are claimed.Therefore, the communication server can return to the inventory of sky or do not wraps
Include the inventory of the application of the concrete pre-installation claimed.This can make, when the application of pre-installation is claimed, to buy the page
Ask the occurrence number presenting pre-installation application to be claimed to user minimum.This locality at Distribution Center's storage configuration database
In other example of copy, unique hardware identifier may be sent to that Distribution Center rather than configuration service device.By using only
One hwid, Distribution Center can determine that that be associated in the application of pre-installation and these application with user account
A bit.
Configuration service device (or Distribution Center) can return to the version number of the operating system together with electronic installation and based on electricity
The inventory (850) of the application of the pre-installation of sub-device.In other example, inventory may also include and not link with user account
The application (850) of rear installation of electronic installation.When the application not being associated installed with user account by electronic installation, storage
Inventory on configuration service device can be updated periodically.Occur that this situation can have many reasons, such as network failure, clothes
Business device fault or user have selected the option in this time point not associated application Yu user account.Version number's quilt of operating system
Being sent to operating system server (860), this operating system server sends native operating system to electronic installation again.Electronics fills
Put this native operating system of reception (870) and native operating system is installed alternatively.Electronic installation includes primitive operation system now
The new copy of system and the inventory of pre-installation application based on electronic installation.If user the most do not associate the application of pre-installation with
User account, then user can fetch this point by selecting purchase page chain as described above.
