1. An information handling system for managing the entitlement of digital assets, comprising:
- a storage medium comprising a repository of system identifier data, digital assets data, and digital assets entitlement data; and
a processor, the processor being operable to;
perform installation operations to install a service operating system comprising a virtual machine monitor and a personalization agent on a target system;
receive a set of system identifier data associated with the target system, wherein the set of system identifier data is provided by the personalization agent;
process the set of system identifier data to determine a corresponding set of digital assets entitlement data; and
provide the set of digital assets entitlement data and an associated set of digital assets data to the personalization agent for installation on the target system.
