20130198734 | ACCESS TO PROTECTED CONTENT BASED ON LICENSE HIERARCHY - According to example configurations as described herein, use of software can be contingent upon whether a hierarchical license tree has a valid license for a software resource associated with a respective node in the tree. For example, an installer can be configured to traverse the hierarchical license tree to identify which, if any, of the software resources as represented by nodes in the tree has a valid license and therefore can be installed for execution on a respective computer system. If a valid license exists for a given node in the tree, the software resource associated with the given node as well as software resources associated with child nodes of the given node can be installed for use on the computer. A software resource manager can be configured to prevent installation, execution, etc., of software resources for nodes above the respective parent node that do not have a corresponding valid license. | 08-01-2013 |
20140289184 | LICENSE STRUCTURE REPRESENTATION FOR LICENSE MANAGEMENT - Embodiments herein include a license provisioning application that organizes licensing information into a licensing data structure in a multi-application environment. The license provisioning application can use the licensing data structure to increase the efficiency of license management operations by representing complex licenses and their relationships, including locale-based licensing and flexible licensing frameworks. The license provisioning application includes a caching mechanism for faster performance, and facilitates ease of use for license management operations, such as activation, renewal, and deactivation (both in bulk and individually), handling subscription based licensing, trial licensing, and executing license queries. The license provisioning application can provide a graphical representation of licenses and relationships for performing various license management operations. | 09-25-2014 |

20080282023 | Restoring storage devices based on flash memories and related circuit, system, and method - A solution for restoring operation of a storage device based on a flash memory is proposed. The storage device emulates a logical memory space (including a plurality of logical blocks each one having a plurality of logical sectors), which is mapped on a physical memory space of the flash memory (including a plurality of physical blocks each one having a plurality of physical sectors for storing different versions of the logical sectors). A corresponding method starts by detecting a plurality of conflicting physical blocks for a corrupted logical block (resulting from a breakdown of the storage device). The method continues by determining a plurality of validity indexes (indicative of the number of last versions of the logical sectors of the corrupted logical block that are stored in the conflicting physical blocks). One ore more of the conflicting physical blocks are selected according to the validity indexes. The selected conflicting physical blocks are then associated with the corrupted logical block. At the end, each one of the non-selected conflicting physical blocks is discarded. | 11-13-2008 |

Each physical memory block may be individually erased as a whole, and which memory is used to emulate a random access logical memory space including a plurality of logical memory sectors by storing updated versions of a logical memory sector data into different physical memory pages. The method includes causing a most recent version of multiple versions of logical memory sector data, stored in physical pages of at least one physical memory block, to be copied into an unused physical memory block, marking the at least one physical memory block, and when the electrically alterable memory is idle, erasing the marked physical memory block. | 11-13-2008 |
20080282025 | Wear leveling in storage devices based on flash memories and related circuit, system, and method - A wear leveling solution is proposed for use in a storage device based on a flash memory. The flash memory includes a plurality of physical blocks, which are adapted to be erased individually. A corresponding method starts with the step for erasing one of the physical blocks. One of the physical blocks being allocated for storing data is selected; this operation is performed in response to the reaching of a threshold by an indication of a difference between a number of erasures of the erased physical block and a number of erasures of the selected physical block. At least the data of the selected physical block being valid is copied into the erased physical block. The selected physical block is then erased. | 11-13-2008 |

20110289266 | GARBAGE COLLECTION IN STORAGE DEVICES BASED ON FLASH MEMORIES - A solution for managing a storage device based on a flash memory is proposed. A corresponding method starts with the step for mapping a logical memory space of the storage device (including a plurality of logical blocks) on a physical memory space of the flash memory (including a plurality of physical blocks, which are adapted to be erased individually). The physical blocks include a set of first physical blocks (corresponding to the logical blocks) and a set of second—or spare—physical blocks (for replacing each bad physical block that is unusable). The method continues by detecting each bad physical block. Each bad physical block is then discarded, so to prevent using the bad physical block for mapping the logical memory space. | 11-24-2011 |
