More Information
Summary:A program controller is arranged to automatically authorize or configure or upgrade a program for a customer replaceable card of a system, the controller being arranged to manage the program automatically, according to a licence agreement, and according to a stored history of use of the hardware module. A supplier can track customer changes and enforce more easily different conditions for authorizing the program on, different modules from different sources, having different levels of capability. There can be less interaction with the supplier to get specific authorizations. The history can be stored on the module. It can be used to ease inventory tracking and generate billing information.
