Abstract: A system and method for managing the recovery key of a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a security layer, and the recovery key is stored locally to a memory location on the computer system, including, as examples, flash memory on the motherboard of the computer system or a USB port on the computer system. In operation, when it becomes necessary for the computer system to authenticate the recovery key, the recovery key may be retrieved from the local memory. The retrieval and storage of the recovery key may be managed by a remote administrator. The recovery key may be stored in a hidden partition in the storage location, and the recovery key may be cryptographically wrapped to add an additional layer of security.

Abstract: A method for managing hardware resources includes obtaining, by a local virtual hardware license manager, a license request from an application instance, in response to the license request: sending a virtual hardware license request to a license management system, wherein the virtual hardware license request comprises a hardware resource list, making a first determination that a response to the virtual hardware license request validates the virtual hardware license request, and in response to the first determination: providing, based on the hardware resource list, a signed hardware resource document to a hardware resource manager managing a hardware resource, wherein the hardware resource list specifies the hardware resource, updating a hardware resource access repository to specify enabled access of the hardware resource by the application instance, and initiating access to the hardware resource by the application instance.
