Abstract
An apparatus operates to provide default services or functionality. The apparatus authenticates replaceable resources by determining whether the replaceable resources originate from a desired source. The apparatus provides an auxiliary service or functionality in addition to the default services or functionality when each of the replaceable resources originates from the desired source, and precludes the auxiliary service or functionality when any of the replaceable resources do not originate from the desired source.
