Patent attributes
Systems and methods for implementing an application on a just-in-time basis can include selection of one of an application and a bundle of applications (“selected application”) by a user on a user interface of a portal application. An agent on the user device can obtain a use-policy for accessing a virtual disk corresponding to the selected application and launch the selected application. The virtual disk can be accessed with the agent according to the use-policy. The portal application can send a resource request to the agent for an update on a status of at least one of a virtual disk download and an application launch. The resource request can be one of a script request and an image request, and can be generated by the portal application based on an information package that incorporates the use-policy and is associated with an option selected through the PUI for the selected application.
