Abstract
A server stores current rules for one or more products in a data store. The current rules are independent of product code of the one or more products. The current rules determine whether an entity satisfies one or more product attributes to allow the entity to use the one or more products. The server implements new rules without changing the product code of the one or more products and determines whether an entity satisfies one or more product attributes to allow the entity to use the one or more products by using the new rules.
