Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are disclosed for enabling software components on a device, and for providing selective access to the components. A computer system receives a download request for a software component and an identifier associated with the requesting device and determines whether the software component is pre-installed, but not enabled, on the device. In the event that the system determines, through a registration check, that the software component is pre-installed but not enabled on the device, the system enables the component on the device. In the event that the system determines that the software component is not pre-installed on the device, the system causes the component to be downloaded and enabled on the device. Selective access to software components is granted based on whether the component is accessed by a user or a service provider, with the service provider granted access to remotely install ancillary functionality.
