Abstract: The present disclosure relates to remote feature activation. In an embodiment, a device may be manufactured having firmware configured to implement multiple unique features on the device. Features may be enabled and disabled on the device later or at a remote location. Enabled features may allow the device to perform corresponding functions, and disabled features may not allow the device to perform corresponding functions. Remote feature activation may include exchanging security information between an activation entity and the device.
