ABSTRACT:
A system for validating a license to use a computational component, comprising (a) a GPS module108to determine one or more of GPS timing information and a geographic location of at least one of the computational component400and a key device100in communication with the computational component400and (b) a validation agent128and/or404operable to (a) compare the GPS timing information against the license expiration date and/or compare the geographic location with at least one predetermined geographic location permitted by the license and (b), when the GPS timing information is outside of the permissible license term and/or when the geographic location is not a permitted geographic location under the license, determine that the computational component400is not validly licensed.
