Abstract
A method for modifying one or more system resources is provided. One or more licenses for modifying one or more system resources on a client device can be acquired. An authenticator can be generated and stored on a remote server. The authenticator can be transferred to the client device. The client device can be connected to the remote server and the remote server can authenticate the client device via the authenticator. The remote server can confirm the availability of one or more licenses, and based on the availability of one or more licenses, modify one or more system resources disposed in, on, or about the client device. After modifying the one or more system resources the remote server can decrement the remaining license count.
