Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to ceasing the renewal of a virtual access device that is dormant. Some embodiments may receive a dormancy request from an authorization server, where the dormancy request includes information identifying a virtual access device. Embodiments may determine that the virtual access device is dormant based at least on previous transactions involving the virtual access device and at least one dormancy rule. Certain embodiments may send a dormancy response to the authorization server indicating that the virtual access device is dormant. An authorization server may determine not to renew a virtual access device based at least upon the dormancy response. As such, the authorization server need not provision a mobile device with an updated virtual access device.
