Abstract

A system, medical devices, network components, devices, processes and computer programs for medical devices and for network components are provided. The process (10) for a first medical device (400; 400b) for the use of a license-based system function of a network component (500) in a network (600) includes a transmission (11) of a request for an available license into the network (600) and a reception (12) of a reply from a second medical device. The reply indicates that a license for the system function is available at the second medical device. The process includes a request (13) for the available license from the second medical device and reception (14) of information on the available license from the second medical device. The process provides the system function based on the information on the license from the second medical device (400; 400a).
