Abstract

A memory module includes first and second data storage locations. The memory module operates with a full set of functions. When the first data storage location stores an expansion license, the memory module is configurable to operate with a subset of the full set of functions disabled. The second data storage location stores an expansion capability certificate, that is signed by an information handling system and includes a first subset of the full set of functions that are disabled by the expansion capability certificate. The memory module determines that the memory module is installed into the information handling system based on the expansion capability certificate, and disables the first subset of the full set of functions in response to determining that the memory module is installed into the information handling system.
