Options resident activating method for medical imaging system e.g. magnetic resonance imaging system, involves sending activation key and verification script to in-field device that is capable of executing script

摘要

The method involves generating an activation key that activates an option resident in a memory of an in-field device. A verification script is selected to confirm enable ability of the option in the device. The activation key and the script are sent to the device, where the device is capable of executing the script. A report is received from the device. The key in the device is installed if the report is satisfactory. An independent claim is also included for a system to respond to a request to remotely enable an option resident on an in-field device.
