Abstract: A device receives a time-based restriction for usage by a first user with respect to an application, a website or a device-level function. The device receives encrypted data indicating a usage by the first user on a second device with respect to the application, website or device-level function. The device determines that at least one of the usage by the first user on the second device or a usage by the first user on the device with respect to the application, website or device-level function violates the time-based restriction. The device provides, in response to the determining, a notification that the time-based restriction has been violated by the first user.

Abstract: In the described embodiments, a device configuration file is used to set configuration settings on a computing device during a configuration operation (e.g., an initial configuration or a re-configuration of the computing device). The device configuration file is retrieved from a location where the device configuration file is hosted using a reference to the location from a bootstrap configuration. The bootstrap configuration is provided by a bootstrap configuration server and is retrieved by the computing device from the bootstrap configuration server during the configuration operation.

Abstract: The described embodiments include an electronic device that performs configuration operations. During operation, an administrative electronic device receives an indication that an electronic device that is presently checked out to a user is to be checked in. The administrative electronic device then requests a backup file with information from the electronic device, wherein the information comprises information about one or more changes made to the electronic device since the electronic device was checked out. Next, the administrative electronic device receives the backup file from the electronic device. The administrative electronic device then restores the electronic device to an initial state, wherein, in the initial state, changes made to the electronic device since the electronic device was checked out are reversed to return the electronic device to the initial state.

Abstract: The described embodiments include a content provider device that can assign items of content (applications, digitally-rendered music, books, videos, etc.) to users upon receiving assignment messages from administrative devices. The items of content can be electronically transferred to the user's devices to be used by users. The content provider device can also revoke assignments of items of content from users upon receiving revocation messages from administrative devices. The revocation generally causes the loss of one or more rights to the item of content for the user. For example, the content provider device can stop providing services for the item of content and/or can cause the item of content to be deleted from a corresponding user's device.

Abstract translation: 所描述的实施例包括在从管理设备接收到分配消息时可以向用户分配内容（应用程序，数字呈现的音乐，书籍，视频等）的内容提供商设备。 内容的内容可以被电子地传送到用户的设备以供用户使用。 内容提供者设备还可以从管理设备接收到撤销消息时，从用户撤销内容项目的分配。 撤销通常导致用户对内容项的一个或多个权限的丢失。 例如，内容提供者设备可以停止为内容项目提供服务和/或可以使内容项从相应的用户设备中删除。
