  • Publication number: 20110055917
    Abstract: A method in a mobile device, for verifying valid access to at least one software application comprised in the mobile device. The mobile device comprises a unique hardware manufacturer identity code. The at least one software application comprises a list of at least one valid unique hardware manufacturer identity code. First, a request to access to the at least one software application is received. Then it requests the unique hardware manufacturer identity code of the mobile device. The next step is to receive the unique hardware manufacturer identity code and to extract at least a part of the identity code identifying the manufacturer of the mobile device. The extracted part of the identity code with valid codes comprised in the software application is compared. If the extracted part of the identity code corresponds to the valid code, access to the at least one software application is provided to the user.
