Abstract
A method and system for embedded regenerative licensing are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method, comprises transmitting a first capability request for a first hardware device to a hardware adapter. A second capability request for a second hardware device is transmitted to the hardware adapter. A first device capability response for the first hardware device is received from the hardware adapter. The first device capability response comprises a first timestamp, a first unique identifier for the first hardware device, and a first functions list to disable on the first hardware device. A second device capability response for the second hardware device is received from the hardware adapter. The second device capability response comprises a second timestamp, a second unique identifier for the second hardware device, and a second functions list including one or more functions from the first hardware device to enable on the second hardware device.
