    Abstract: A system and method of enabling software features on apheresis machines and/or infusion pumps uses a license server disposed outside of a medical facility and a local server disposed at the medical facility. The method includes generating a software enabling indicator at the license server, the software enabling indicator comprising multiple letters and a numerical code, the numerical code representing a number of licenses to be allocated for a software feature. The method includes transmitting the software enabling indicator and a certificate signing request to a third party certificate authority. The method includes transmitting the electronic document from the license server to the local server, authenticating the license server at the local server, generating a plurality of second digital certificates, transmitting the second digital certificates to each of a plurality of the medical devices and enabling a software feature on the medical devices based on the second digital certificates.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for decrypting protected content and for providing the decrypted content for playback. The device comprises one or more system software modules providing functions for facilitating the decryption of the protected content and at least one client software module assigned to a provider of protected content. The client software module is adapted to access functions of the system software modules in order to control the system software to decrypt the protected content of the provider. Moreover, the device is adapted to validate the system software and/or a further client software module and to prevent the decryption and/or provision of the protected content of the provider, if the system software and/or the further client software module are not validated successfully. The validation of the system software and/or a further client software module comprises a comparison of identification data of software modules of the system software and/or further client software modules loaded in a processor of the device and identification data included in a revocation list assigned to the provider. In addition to the device, the invention relates to a method for operating the device.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein that relate to mechanisms and techniques for discovering compliance license positions for a licensee. For example, heuristics could be used to discover the optimal compliance license position for the licensee. The heuristics may consider the contention of multiple software license entitlements and the need of each possible assignment. The contention for an entitlement generally increases as the number of possible installation assignments increases and as the number of available installations decreases, while the need of an assignment represents how important it is for an installation to be assigned to a specific entitlement. Installations that can be assigned to more entitlements (i.e., have more possible assignment options) will generally have less need to be assigned to the specific entitlement.

    Abstract: A Controlled Environment Secure Media Streaming System manages the delivery of content to Secured Devices. Cloud Services provide content to Integration Hub. The Integration Hub interfaces with various cloud services providers and prepares content for consumption by a resident of a secured facility. Integration Hub utilizes Content Filter to inspect content received from cloud service providers for suitability for use in a secured environment. Once content is retrieved, filtered, formatted, and packaged by Integration Hub, the content is stored in Data Warehouse. Secured Devices request content from the Distribution Hub, the Distribution Hub retrieves the content from the Data Warehouse, and then Distribution Flub manages the transfer of content to the Secured Devices. In some embodiments, Distribution Hub utilizes Content Filter to determine whether or not a particular Secured Device can access particular content.
