Abstract

A method, devices, and a computer program for synchronizing one or more software programs from a first device (D100) to a second device (D200) are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of creating (100) an application profile indicating one or more software programs on the first device (ID100) and indicating one or more software program providing nodes (SN 100,SN200) from which said one or more software programs are obtainable, providing (200) the application profile to a synchronization manager (SM 100), identifying (300) by the synchronization manager (SM 100) the one or more software programs and the one or more software program providing nodes (SN100,SN200) according to the application profile, requesting (400) by the synchronization manager (SM 100) the one or more software program providing nodes (SN 100,SN200) to transfer the one or more software programs, and transferring (500) the one or more software programs from the one or more software program providing nodes (SN 100,SN200) to the second device (D200).
