Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for downloading a subscription from an operator to a UICC embedded in a terminal. The method includes transmitting from the terminal, to a platform, an identifier and a request for downloading the subscription; verifying in the platform that the terminal is authorized to download the subscription by verifying the rights of the terminal in accordance with its identifier; and downloading the subscription to the UICC if the rights are confirmed and, otherwise, refusing to download the subscription.
