A condition-based authorization model for data access is provided. According to the model, the owner of a securable software object, such as a file, folder, or process, may specify a security policy that includes an access condition for accessing the object. The access condition may be based on dynamic user or system state information having a value that is updatable while a user is logged on, such as system time or user location. When a later request is received from a user to perform an action on the object via an application programming interface of a computer operating system, a security subsystem of the computer operating system queries a system resource containing information suitable to evaluate the access condition, and determines whether the access condition is met. If the access condition is met, access by the user to the securable software object is permitted. Otherwise, access is denied.

A configuration management and monitoring system may use a hierarchical knowledge base to identify configuration settings, resolve conflicts between configuration settings, and implement and monitor the configuration settings for one or more devices in a network environment. The system may produce a file that may be consumed by an application and with which the application may be configured to conform to the configuration settings. The system may also produce a set of settings that may be used to automate deployment and monitor compliance with the settings.

A state store having state information therein is stored on a computing device. Information at least nearly unique to the computing device is obtained, and a number of locations at which at least a portion of the state store is to be stored at is determined. Pseudo-random file names and corresponding paths are generated based at least in part on the obtained information, whereby the generated file names and corresponding paths are likewise at least nearly unique to the computing device, and the generated file names and path are paired to form the locations. Thereafter, the state store is stored according to the generated locations.

A method, system and computer-readable medium for deterring software piracy in a volume license environment. A volume license key embedded within a volume license file is received. The volume license key has first data derived from at least one machine attribute of the environment. The volume license file is authenticated using second data derived from at least one machine attribute of the environment. A software package associated with the volume license key is then activated on at least one computing device in the environment.

A unique volume license key (VLK) is provided to a volume license holder. A signed file containing the VLK and the data derived from volume license holder's submitted computing environment information is provided to the volume license holder along with the licensed software. The license file is stored in a central location, such as on an installation server, or locally on client machines, in a rather large file of any type. Upon logon, the license file is read, the data authenticated and the system is activated. If license data cannot be authenticated, a connected system either fully functions in grace period or run in reduced functionality mode until authentication succeeds. If the system is disconnected, the system is functional only with disconnected features until it joins a network again. In a completely off-line installation, the license file is generated by the volume license holder using software vendor assigned specific VLK and software vendor provided security hardware device. The distribution methods of software package, the VLK, and the license file can be flexible, including, but not limited to, single or multiple media.
