Abstract: A system and method for delivering advertising and non-advertising content includes a content management system for receiving content, editing received content (if necessary), storing content, and scheduling content for display in display systems.

Abstract: A display device is initially provided with a deactivated feature that may be selectively activated as needed by an end user, with notification of the activation provided to an activation service. The activation service may provide an activation code or other activation either to the display device directly, or alternatively to the end user, for use in the activation process to activate the initially-deactivated feature. As another alternative the activation service may receive notification after the activation, or during the activation process, without necessarily providing any activation code or other key. The activation service may make use of the activation notification, such as for marketing purposes of determination of licensing fees due in connection with the initially-deactivated feature. The registration code may be used to create an activation code used for activating the initially-deactivated feature.
