    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 comprise an electronic device that executes an application, the electronic device including a processing subsystem. In these embodiments, the processing subsystem is configured to acquire a receipt associated with the application, wherein the application was purchased by a purchasing entity and installed on the electronic device after being assigned to a user of the electronic device by the purchasing entity. The processing subsystem is further configured to determine, using the receipt, if the application has expired. When the application has not expired, The processing subsystem is configured to execute the application with predetermined functions of the application enabled. When the application has expired, The processing subsystem is configured to execute the application with the predetermined functions of the application disabled.

    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.
