1. A method for authentication within an application workspace system, the method comprising:
authenticating a first computing device of a user to the application workspace system at a point of access;
determining an application family assigned to the user, wherein the application family is associated with a plurality of application instances, wherein the plurality of application instances include at least a locally installed application instance on the first computing device and a remotely accessed application instance executing on a remote server;
resolving a set of entitlements associated with the user to select, based on the point of access, a specific application instance from the plurality of application instances for the application family;
providing access to the selected specific application instance on the first computing device;
receiving, from the first computing device, a token at the application workspace system, wherein the first computing device is paired with a second computing device, the first computing device and the second computing device both being configured to communicate with the application workspace system;
providing the token to the second computing device from the application workspace system, wherein the second computing device also receives application information associated with the selected specific application instance, the application information being specified by the first computing device;
authenticating the second computing device with the application workspace system using the token; and
providing the second computing device with access to the selected specific application instance corresponding to the application information.
