System and method for enforcing application adoption

摘要

A method includes determining that a legacy application is executing on a client device. When the legacy application is open in the client device, an adoption rule is applied, wherein the adoption rule defines an instance in which a user is required to use a replacement application instead of the legacy application. When it is determined that the adoption rule is satisfied, the replacement application is executed and use of the legacy application is prevented.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
determining that a legacy application is executing on a client device; applying, when the legacy application is open in the client device, an adoption rule, wherein the adoption rule defines an instance in which a user is required to use a replacement application instead of the legacy application, wherein each of the legacy application and the replacement application are concurrently installed on the client device; determining that the adoption rule is satisfied; executing the replacement application when the adoption rule is satisfied; preventing, when the adoption rule is satisfied, use of the legacy application, determining that the replacement application is executing on the client device; identifying a user mistake relating to the replacement application, wherein the user mistake corresponds to a correct keystroke or user command in the legacy application; and automatically providing help to the user of the client device based on differences between the replacement application and the legacy application relating to the identified user mistake.
