A management system for virtual applications may deploy sets of virtual applications to many client devices, dynamically allocate virtual application servers to individual clients, manage updates to the virtual applications, and provide other high level management to deployments of virtual applications. A client device may include a virtual application management client that may communicate with a management server. The management client may add or remove virtual applications to the client device based on a policy received from the management server, and may query the management server to determine a currently available virtual application distribution server when a virtual application is requested. The management server may distribute and manage versions of applications across one or more virtual application distribution servers.

Generating a software update catalog may involve accessing resource identifiers. Each resource identifier may identify a location of a portion of update metadata corresponding to a respective program, where the portions of update metadata include information for determining whether to apply their respective updates. The resource identifiers may be used to import the portions of update metadata, and the software update catalog can be generated based on the imported portions of update metadata. Furthermore, a user interface (UI) may be displayed for authoring an update. The UI may allow a user to define the update and signature information by which a computer can be scanned to determine whether the update has been installed and/or whether the update is applicable. An update by generating a portion of update metadata that includes the information that identifies the update and that includes the scan information.

A management system for virtual applications may deploy sets of virtual applications to many client devices by defining and distributing policies. The polices may define which client devices and/or users may permitted to access a virtual application from a server and how the virtual application may be used. A client device may include a virtual application management client that may communicate with a management server to retrieve and implement the policies. The management client may add or remove virtual applications to the client device based on a policy received from the management server. In some embodiments, policies may also be distributed and implemented on a virtual application server.
