Abstract

A method for application registration and tracking for DOS and OS/2 software, independent of the mechanism in which the application is distributed and installed. The invention allows other application registration and tracking techniques to co-exist without affecting/impacting each other. This truly is an "open" packaging, registration and tracking invention which allows PC-software to be better managed in a network.
