Abstract
A compatibility checking mechanism can include a reader, a checking mechanism, a writer and an approver. The reader can read out memory content from a memory of a first device component. The checking mechanism can check whether the first device component can be used together with a second device component based on the read-out memory content, and supply a result of the checking whether the first device component can be used together with a second device component. The writer can induce writing of a component identifier of the second device component in the memory of the first device component if checking of the read-out memory content indicates that the first device component can be used together with the second device component. The approver can approve or block use of the first device component as a function of the result of the checking of the read-out memory content.
