Abstract
Information handling systems personalized by addition of a physical component, such as lid having an emblem that attaches to a portable information handling system, have software associated with the physical component automatically applied by interacting with an entitlement network location. An identifier associated with the physical component is automatically read by the information handling system and sent to the entitlement network location to retrieve entitlements for the use of software at the information handling system.
