Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement license management solutions for software defined silicon (SDSi) products are disclosed. Example license management solutions disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, virtual resource migration using SDSi, resource configuration management using SDSi, hardware self-configuration using SDSi, reduced footprint agents using SDSi, performing SDSi usage evaluation and corresponding license transfer responsive to detected and/or predicted failures, transferring node locked SDSi licenses, transfer of SDSi licenses without a trusted license server, community license generation, expirable SDSi licenses via a reliable clock, non-node locked licenses via blockchain, and activating hardware features with a pre-generated hardware license.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) for software defined silicon security are disclosed. Example apparatus include a trusted agent determiner to (i) determine respective reputation scores associated with a plurality of agents in a mesh network, the plurality of agents associated with a plurality of semiconductor devices, respective ones of the semiconductor devices including circuitry configurable to provide one or more features, and (ii) select, based on the respective reputation scores, a first agent from the plurality of the agents to transmit a request to activate or deactivate at least one of the one or more features. Example apparatus also include an agent interface to, in response to the request, broadcast an activation or deactivation of the least one of the one or more features to the mesh network to cause the trusted agent determiner to update the reputation score of the first agent.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement software defined silicon feature licensing are disclosed. Example licensor systems disclosed herein includes a third party verifier to verify one or more credentials included in a request to become an authorized delegated licensor, the request received from a third party. Disclosed example licensor systems also include a feature identifier to identify a feature of a silicon structure which the third party is to be granted the authority to license. Disclosed example licensor systems further include a configuration installation code generator to generate feature configuration installation code, the feature configuration installation code to be used by the third party to generate at least a portion of the license, the portion of the license to be used by a licensee to configure the silicon structure to access the licensed feature, and contents of the feature configuration installation code encrypted to prevent access by the authorized delegated licensor.
