The present invention provides a method of verifying that an up-to-date software license key is not overwritten by an out of date software license key. One embodiment of the method includes transmitting a first software license key and a first timestamp towards a network element that has software installed thereon. The first software license key includes information used to enable a portion of the functionality of the software. The network element is configured to install the first software license key when the first timestamp indicates a time later than a second timestamp associated with a second software license key installed on the network element.
