MANAGED APPLICATION DETECTION LOGIC

The detection of whether a local application is managed by a management service is described. In one example, depending upon whether an installation token includes a unique token value, detection logic can determine whether an application is managed or unmanaged based on additional factors. The additional factors include whether a keychain installation token includes a unique token value, the value of the keychain installation token, and a value of a launched flag for the application. Various combinations of those factors and the identification of either a managed or unmanaged status for the application are described. Using the concepts described herein, an unmanaged application can proceed to execute with limited functionality, present a notification that it should be reinstalled by the management service, stop executing, or take other measures.
