    Abstract: An entitlement system and method for computers allowing controlled access to operating systems, software applications, data, or hardware for a computer system. More particularly, the entitlement system involves localized control to access computer operations, including operating systems, software, internet access, data, hardware, or the like, which may be updated remotely, such as through the Internet. The local control of entitlement rights releases overused system and communication resources, providing a more efficient validation method for computer-controlled operations.
