1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- provide for a cloud-based repository of digital content;
create a first license based on the digital content; and
transmit the first license and the digital content to a non-destructive testing (NDT) device, wherein the digital content is configured to be executed by, used by, or displayed by the NDT device, or a combination thereof, based on the first license, wherein the first license is configured to be transferred from the NDT device to a second NDT device, wherein the NDT device is configured to disallow execution, use, and display of the digital content based on the transfer of the first license to the second NDT device, and the second NDT device is configured to allow execution, use, and display of the digital content based on the transfer of the first license to the second NDT device, and wherein the cloud-based repository comprises a public store, a private store, and a semi-public store, wherein the public store is configured to provide a first content of the digital content to all entities communicatively coupled to the public store, the private store is configured to provide a second content of the digital content only to vetted entities communicatively coupled to the private store, and the semi-public store is configured to provide a third content of the digital content to all entities communicatively coupled to the semi-public store and to provide a fourth content of the digital content to only vetted entities communicatively coupled to the semi-public store.

Abstract
A non-transitory computer readable medium may include executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor provide for a repository of digital content and to create a first license based on the digital content. The instructions further cause the processor to transmit the first license and the digital content to a non-destructive testing (NDT) device, and wherein the digital content is configured to be executed by, used by, or displayed by the NDT device, or a combination thereof, based on the first license.

11. A system comprising:
a non-destructive testing (NDT) device comprising a memory and a processor configured to download, from a cloud-based repository, executable digital content, non-executable digital content, or a combination thereof, and to use a license to manage rights of the executable digital content, the non-executable content, or a combination thereof, wherein the license is configured to be transferred from the NDT device to a second NDT device, wherein the NDT device is configured to disallow execution, use, and display of the digital content based on the transfer of the license to the second NDT device, and the second NDT device is configured to allow execution, use, and display of the digital content based on the transfer of the license to the second NDT device, and wherein the cloud-based repository comprises a public store, a private store, and a semi-public store, wherein the public store is configured to provide a first content of the digital content to all entities communicatively coupled to the public store, the private store is configured to provide a second content of the digital content only to vetted entities communicatively coupled to the private store, and the semi-public store is configured to provide a third content of the digital content to all entities communicatively coupled to the semi-public store and to provide a fourth content of the digital content to only vetted entities communicatively coupled to the semi-public store. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
providing for a cloud-based repository of digital content; creating a license based on the digital content; and transmitting the license and the digital content to a non-destructive testing (NDT) device, wherein the digital content is configured to be executed by, used by, or displayed by the NDT device, or a combination thereof, based on the license, wherein the license is configured to be transferred from the NDT device to a second NDT device, and wherein the NDT device is configured to disallow execution, use, and display of the digital content based on the transfer of the license to the second NDT device, and the second NDT device is configured to allow execution, use, and display of the digital content based on the transfer of the license to the second NDT device, and wherein the cloud-based repository comprises a public store, a private store, and a semi-public store, wherein the public store is configured to provide a first content of the digital content to all entities communicatively coupled to the public store, the private store is configured to provide a second content of the digital content only to vetted entities communicatively coupled to the private store, and the semi-public store is configured to provide a third content of the digital content to all entities communicatively coupled to the semi-public store and to provide a fourth content of the digital content to only vetted entities communicatively coupled to the semi-public store. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
