ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring licensing eligibility of a computational component, the computational component being associated with a unique identifier, is provided. The system comprises (i) an input and/or interface120operable to receive a request to authorize operation of at least part of the computational component; (ii) a memory, such as licensing database128, comprising licensing database information associated with the identifier, the information comprising a licensing state indicator; and (iii) an activator, such as remote feature activator112, operable to (a) authorize operation of the at least part of the computational component when the licensing state indicator has a first state and (b) not authorize operation of the at least part of the computational component when the licensing state indicator has a second state other than the first state.
