You can create Managed Software Delivery policies to create and manage new
virtual software layers or manage existing layers on client computers.
A Managed Software Delivery policy lets you perform complex layer management
tasks.
For example, you can create a Managed Software Delivery policy that manages
virtual software layers as follows:
Installs a new version of an application into a virtual software layer and then
deactivates or deletes the earlier version.
Deactivates one version of an application and activates another version.
If you need to manage a single virtual software layer, use a Software Virtualization
task, a Quick Delivery task, or a Package Delivery task.
