SUPPLYING OMITTED CRITICAL CODE PORTION TO ACTIVATE LICENSABLE COMPONENT IN AUDIO VIDEO DEVICE

摘要

An audio video display device (12) includes a licensable component (e.g. 54 56 58 etc.) requiring software code to execute a licensable function. The device is vended with the software code but without the critical piece of code (208). Upon determining that a license for the licensable function has been activated the critical piece of code (208) is downloaded to the device to enable execution of the licensed function.
