Abstract

A system and method for generating access authorization in a secure manner. After establishing data communications, a product and product center exchange unique information for the independent generation of a valid access authorization by both the product and product center. The access authorization then allows a computer system associated with the product center to access the product for testing, diagnostics, etc. An added security feature invalidates the access authorization after a predetermined time period.
