ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a system, comprising: (i) first and second computational components102aandbhaving, respectively, first and second unique identifiers; (ii) a license file112comprising third and fourth identifiers212aandbrespectively associated with the first and second computational components; (iii) a license manager113operable to (a) obtain, from the first and second computational components, the first and second unique identifiers, (b) access the license file to obtain the third and fourth identifiers, (c) compare each of the first and second unique identifiers with one or both of the third and fourth identifiers; and (iv) a mode setting agent124operable to permit the one or both of the first and second computational components to perform an operation, when both the first and second identifiers match one of the third and fourth identifiers, and not permit the first and second computational components to perform the operation, when only one of the first and second identifiers matches one of the third and fourth identifiers.
