Abstract
A system to manage a key license includes an information handling system having non-volatile memory accessible to a processor. The non-volatile memory stores feature enablement information related to a feature that the information handling system is adapted to provide. The non-volatile memory stores instructions that are accessible to the processor and executable by the processor to send the feature enablement information to an external system after the information handling system is deployed, and to request the feature enablement information, or other feature enablement information, from the external system in response to receiving a request for the information handling system to provide the feature.
