ABSTRACT:
A method is provided of uniquely binding, through connection, a subsystem device having restricted information space for storing code, to a system having a structure for generating and delivering a unique code to identify the system to the information storage space in the subsystem. The method comprises determining if the information storage space in the subsystem has information therein when the subsystem is connected to the system. If no information is contained in the information storage space in the subsystem, the system writes the unique code from the system to the information storage space in the subsystem. If information is in the information storage space, that information is compared with the unique code in the system, and operation of the system is allowed if, and only if, the information in the information storage space matches the unique code generated by the system. A structure for performing this method is also provided.
