Method and Device for Configuring Functional Capabilities in a Data Processing System |
摘要 |
A method for configuring functional capabilities in a data processing system. An intermediate link record and a System Anchor record containing the unchangeable hardware ID are used. All entitlement records are then linked to the System Anchor record. Only the System Anchor record links to the unchangeable hardware ID. It contains a system unique ID. The entitlement records link to the System anchor record via the system unique ID. The repair (or upgrade) situation with the exchange of a hardware component now becomes much simpler: There is no exchange of any asset protection record (neither System Anchor record nor entitlement record) required as long as the hardware component comprising the asset protection record is not exchanged. In case the hardware component comprising the asset protection record needs to be exchanged the System Anchor record only must be exchanged but all the entitlement records can stay unchanged.
