Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for technology management on a hardware component of a device at the time of assembly. An apparatus has a processor and memory storage that stores code executable by the processor. The processor obtains a feature of the hardware component to be removed from the hardware component and operates a virtual fuse that removes a data region associated with the hardware component and permanently removes access to the feature on the hardware component. In response to operating the virtual fuse to remove access to the feature, the processor may indicate the status of the feature on the hardware component.
