Abstract
The disclosure herein describes the use of a policy server to enable management of activation of an adaptively branded device with a brand with which the device is compatible. A brand registration is received from a device registration entity including a device identifier of a device and a registered brand identifier of a brand. The device identifier and registered brand identifier are linked in a data store. A device activation request is received from the device including the device identifier and a SIM brand identifier of a SIM installed in the device. Based on the SIM brand identifier differing from the registered brand identifier, activation of the device with the brand is prevented. Based on the SIM brand identifier matching the registered brand identifier, the device is activated with the brand of the registered brand identifier, whereby the device is enabled to complete a branding process based on the brand.
