A system, medical devices, network components, devices, processes and computer programs for medical devices and for network components are provided. The process () for a first medical device () for the use of a license-based system function of a network component () in a network () includes a transmission () of a request for an available license into the network () and a reception () of a reply from a second medical device. The reply indicates that a license for the system function is available at the second medical device. The process includes a request () for the available license from the second medical device and reception () of information on the available license from the second medical device. The process provides the system function based on the information on the license from the second medical device ().

A process and a computer establish a data transfer from a provider () that provides data to a consumer () that uses the data. A consumer () transmits a request message (probe) for requested data to a communications agent (). In response, the communications agent () adds an entry for the request message (probe) to a requests list (AL). Subsequently, a provider () transmits a registration message (Hello) to the communications agent (). The communications agent () searches the requests list (AL) for an entry for a request message (probe) that matches the received registration message (Hello). If a matching entry is found in the requests list (AL), the communications agent () initiates a data transfer from the provider () to the consumer ().

Exemplary embodiments pertain to a switching device, to a network access point, to a system, to a process and to a computer program for a switching device. The switching device () for coupling a network () and a medical device () comprises a first interface () for the communication with the network () and a second interface () for the communication with the medical device (). The switching devicefurther comprises a control module () for controlling the first and second interfaces (). The control module () is configured to send data packets between the network () and the medical device () via the first and second interfaces () and to send location information of the switching device () to the medical device () at regular intervals. The control module () is configured to send the data packets according to a permanently predefined switching instruction.
