Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for managing the entitlement of digital assets. System identifier data associated with a target system, including its unique system identifier, is received, along with digital assets selection data corresponding to digital assets data to be processed by the target system. The system identifier data is processed with the digital assets selection data to generate digital assets entitlement data. The digital assets data and the digital assets entitlement data is then provided to a personalization agent associated with the target system. In turn, the personalization agent processes the digital assets entitlement data and the digital assets data for installation on the target system, thereby entitling the system to process the installed digital assets data.
