A method and system deploys software modules for on-street traffic control computers by selectively unlocking preloaded modules of the software. A host firm builds or acquires the on-street traffic control computers and preloads locked versions of software modules provided by a software partner firm. When a customer wishes to purchase a license to run a particular module, the customer provides the host firm with identifiers for the particular computer and the particular software module, and the host firm responds with a license number that is useable to unlock the module. The customer makes a payment to the host firm, and the host firm makes a slightly smaller payment to the software partner. The host firm is thereby motivated to accommodate the customer and the software partner.
