A method for BIOS to pass license key information to a device via CLP interface during a power on self-test (POST). The license key may be stored in different locations within the information handling system. For example, the license key may be stored within a secure location on a BIOS flash chip, in which case the license key is maintained across BIOS updates. Alternately, the license key may be stored within motherboard persistent storage (such as an internal universal serial bus (USB) key that is provided on certain servers. Alternately, the license key may be stored on a central location on a network to which the information handling system is coupled.
