This disclosure is generally concerned with systems and methods for selectively enabling an electronic device that is configured to communicate with a remote computer. In one example of such a method, identification data is initially transmitted from the electronic device to the remote computer. At the remote computer, a determination is made as to whether the identification data is valid. If the identification data is valid, the remote computer generates encrypted data based upon the valid identification data. The encrypted data is then transmitted to the electronic device, where the encrypted data and the identification data are process to facilitate a determination as to whether operation of the electronic device will be enabled. The scope or extent to which the electronic device can be enabled is defined by predetermined criteria.
