ABSTRACT:
A disclosure of a subscription service is provided, where this service allows for the running of unsigned content, such as games, on closed computing systems, such as gaming consoles. The subscription service checks whether gamer tags have an account to run unsigned games on any consoles on which the gamer tags happen to be residing. If so, users associated with such gamer tags can run unsigned content; if not, then they cannot (but may be asked or allowed to subscribe to the service). The subscription service has various facets, some of which include: gamer tags that can interact with the service while being distributed across a plurality of consoles; remote location of the service from the gaming console; user privileges auditing and revocation if users associated with gamer tags violate policies set out by the subscription service, and so on.
