Abstract
A device receives identifier, make, and model information associated with a device from a device activation system, and provides the device identifier, make, and model information to a database. The device also determines whether the device qualifies for a software update package based on the device make and model information, and provides, to the device, a notification of the software update package when the device qualifies for the software update package.
