Abstract
A method is provided for operating a consumer programming device that provisions consumer electronic devices. The method includes receiving over a communication link a first enable message that authorizes the consumer programming device to make available one or more resources which enable it to provide services to consumer electronic devices. Services are provided to consumer electronic devices up until all the resources have been exhausted. Additional consumer electronic devices are provided with services only if a second enable message is received over the communication link.
