Abstract
Techniques relating to the distribution and installation of solidified (or “frozen”) software on a computer are disclosed. Any additional software installed on the computer after the solidification process will not execute, regardless of whether the installation is initiated or otherwise performed by a person with administrative privilege. The installation of the solidified software can be carried out by installing pre-solidified software, by solidifying the software at the source code level and by solidifying the software by the compiler. The solidification can also be performed when software distributions are manufactured, for example on CDs, or as part of an installation procedure that can run and/or install differently each time. A business process for billing customers for the transfer or usage of solidified software is also disclosed.
