Abstract

Dans la présente invention, lorsque démarre la procédure d'installation d'un logiciel informatique, le numéro de série des supports d'enregistrement du produit et le numéro de série de volume propre du matériel sont lus. Ces numéros de série sont présentés à l'utilisateur et simultanément, ils sont utilisés pour créer un mot de passe chiffré qui n'est pas porté à la connaissance de l'utilisateur. Lorsque le centre de gestion reçoit le numéro de série de volume propre (VSN) et le numéro de série du produit, il délivre à l'utilisateur un mot de passe chiffré en fonction de ces informations. Si le mot de passe délivré coïncide avec le mot de passe chiffré généré par le matériel, l'installation du logiciel est autorisée.
