SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATICALLY ENABLING AND DISABLING APPLICATIONS AND WIDGETS WITH A COMPUTING DEVICE BASED ON COMPATIBILITY AND/OR USER PREFERENCE

摘要

An application management server may automatically disable applications or widgets that are incompatible with a user's computing device, and automatically re-enable such applications or widgets when the user's computing device is compatible. Auto-disabled applications may be tracked in memory of a server by setting an auto-disabled status indication associated with the disabled application or widget. If an auto-disabled application or widget is upgraded or the user swaps computing devices, thereby resolving the incompatibility, the server may auto-enable such applications and widgets that were previously auto-disabled so that they may be downloaded to or used from the user's computing device. The server may recognize when a software upgrade resolves an incompatibility and prompt a computing device to initiate a synchronization process to receive the auto-enabled application or widget to the computing device or to the user's application server-based locker or profile.
