Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement software defined silicon feature licensing are disclosed. Example licensor systems disclosed herein includes a third party verifier to verify one or more credentials included in a request to become an authorized delegated licensor, the request received from a third party. Disclosed example licensor systems also include a feature identifier to identify a feature of a silicon structure which the third party is to be granted the authority to license. Disclosed example licensor systems further include a configuration installation code generator to generate feature configuration installation code, the feature configuration installation code to be used by the third party to generate at least a portion of the license, the portion of the license to be used by a licensee to configure the silicon structure to access the licensed feature, and contents of the feature configuration installation code encrypted to prevent access by the authorized delegated licensor.
