First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of provisioning a computing device in a mobile network, the method comprising:
- receiving a provisioning profile comprising entitlement data indicative of allowed access to resources on a device;
receiving a request to provision a computing device; and
provisioning the computing device at least in part by delivering the provisioning profile to the device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for provisioning computing devices are provided. Carrier provisioning profiles are distributed to computing devices via an activation service during the provisioning process. The carrier provisioning profiles specify access limitations to certain device resources which may otherwise be available to users of the device.
