Digital Asset Entitlement Migration System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information handling systems lack an efficient method for migrating digital assets from an existing system to a new system, requiring users to locate installation files and license keys, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming, especially in cases of system failures or forgotten credentials.
Innovation Solution
A digital assets entitlement system that uses unique system identifiers to automatically migrate entitled digital assets from a source system to a target system by processing and associating corresponding entitlement data, allowing seamless installation and authentication without the need for manual retrieval of installation files and license keys.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual migration methods are used (locating distribution media and license keys), then digital assets can be transferred, but the process becomes time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by binding digital asset entitlements to the unique system identifier of the source system before migration occurs. The entitlement binding is established in advance through authentication and licensing processes, so that when migration is needed, the entitlement data is already prepared and can be automatically transferred to the target system without requiring manual retrieval of license keys or distribution media.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing a migration system that acts as a mediator between the source system and target system. This migration system contains the entitlement binding data and uses it to automatically transfer digital asset entitlements during migration, eliminating the need for users to manually locate and transfer license keys and installation files.
2Reliability
If manual migration methods are used (locating distribution media and license keys), then digital assets can be transferred, but the process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by binding digital asset entitlements to the unique system identifier of the source system before migration occurs. The entitlement binding is established in advance through authentication and licensing processes, so that when migration is needed, the entitlement data is already prepared and can be automatically transferred to the target system without requiring manual retrieval of license keys or distribution media.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the migration system to automatically transfer digital asset entitlements using the pre-bound entitlement data and unique system identifiers. The system performs the migration process autonomously without requiring user intervention to locate distribution media, retrieve license keys, or authenticate with digital asset providers, thereby reducing process complexity.
3Ease of operation
If traditional migration approaches are used, then users can access their digital assets on a new system, but they must locate and transfer installation files and license keys manually
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing a migration system that acts as a mediator between the source system and target system. This migration system contains the entitlement binding data and uses it to automatically transfer digital asset entitlements during migration, eliminating the need for users to manually locate and transfer license keys and installation files.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies copying by creating and storing copies of entitlement binding data that associate digital asset entitlements with the unique system identifier. These entitlement copies are stored in the migration system and can be automatically transferred to the target system, replacing the need for users to manually copy physical distribution media or retrieve license keys from emails.
4Productivity
If users must locate original distribution media and license keys for migration, then digital assets can be transferred, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Data Source
AI summary
A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for automatically migrating entitled digital assets from a source system to the target system. A first personalization agent is installed on a target system. A first set of digital assets entitlement data is provided along with an associated first set of digital assets data, which is then installed on the target system by the first personalization agent. A second set of digital assets entitlement data associated with a second set of digital assets data installed on a source system is determined by a second personalization agent. The second set of digital assets entitlement data is disassociated from the second set of system identifier data and then associated with the first set of system identifier data. The second set of digital assets is then installed the target system by the first personalization agent.
