Abstract

A method includes determining that a legacy application is executing on a client device. When the legacy application is open in the client device, an adoption rule is applied, wherein the adoption rule defines an instance in which a user is required to use a replacement application instead of the legacy application. When it is determined that the adoption rule is satisfied, the replacement application is executed and use of the legacy application is prevented.
