A system and method are provided to remotely activate options resident on
a plurality of devices within a site. The invention includes generating a
number of activation keys, each of which is specific to one of a
plurality of in-field devices having inactive options resident in a
memory of each of the plurality of in-field devices, and sending each

corresponding in-field device to activate an option and if the report is
not satisfactory for a corresponding in-field device, aborting activation
of the option for the corresponding in-field device.
