Abstract
A system can include one or more memory devices storing instructions executed by one or more processors. The one or more processors can receive a public key of a device of an industrial automation system corresponding to a private key of the device. The one or more processors can receive a request to grant the device a license to enable a feature of the device or access a feature of the industrial automation system. The one or more processors can generate a certificate including the public key of the device and an indication of the license in a non-encrypted format. The one or more processors can transmit the certificate to the device to cause the device to enable the feature of the device or access the feature of the industrial automation system responsive to the device proving possession of the private key corresponding to the public key in the certificate.
