Abstract

A software version control system manages versioned applications in a client-server computing system environment. Thereby this is a management system for computer application (software) distribution where a number of client devices coupled to a server may be executing different versions of a particular computing application. The system manages updates to the applications and enforces rules or policies to use the most recent version whenever possible.
