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.
