Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement software defined silicon feature licensing are disclosed. Example licensor systems disclosed herein includes a third party verifier to verify one or more credentials included in a request to become an authorized delegated licensor, the request received from a third party. Disclosed example licensor systems also include a feature identifier to identify a feature of a silicon structure which the third party is to be granted the authority to license. Disclosed example licensor systems further include a configuration installation code generator to generate feature configuration installation code, the feature configuration installation code to be used by the third party to generate at least a portion of the license, the portion of the license to be used by a licensee to configure the silicon structure to access the licensed feature, and contents of the feature configuration installation code encrypted to prevent access by the authorized delegated licensor.

Software defined silicon feature licensing

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement and manage software defined silicon products are disclosed. Example semiconductor devices disclosed herein include circuitry configurable to provide one or more features. Disclosed example semiconductor devices also include a license processor to activate or deactivate at least one of the one or more features based on a license received via a network from a first remote enterprise system. Disclosed example semiconductor devices further include an analytics engine to report telemetry data associated with operation of the semiconductor device to at least one of the first remote enterprise system or a second remote enterprise system, the analytics engine to report the telemetry data in response to activation or deactivation of the at least one of the one or more features based on the license.
