Abstract
A system is provided for controlling a right to use a computational component, comprising (a) a backup computational componentassociated with a primary computational component, wherein when the primary computational component is in an operational mode the backup computational component is in a standby mode; (b) an activation agentoperable to determine when the primary computational component is no longer in the operational mode; (c) a timerassociated with the backup computational component; and (d) a mode setting agentoperable to permit the backup computational component to change to the operational mode when the value of the license error timer is not zero and to not permit the backup computational component to change to the operational mode when the value of the license error timer is zero.
