Abstract

A method for reconfiguring a circuit configuration of a configurable hardware device via a communication network. The method includes transmitting via the communication network from a hardware configuration provider unit to the configurable hardware device a circuit reconfiguration of the configurable hardware device in response to a request from a user of the configurable hardware device to reconfigure the configurable hardware device, implementing the circuit reconfiguration of the configurable hardware device thereby reconfiguring the configurable hardware device and providing a reconfigured hardware device and billing the user in response to a determination of correct operation of the reconfigured hardware device. A user unit in a communication network is also disclosed.
