Abstract
Methods, devices, and computer program products describe remotely disabling an article of manufacture. One such device includes a processor communicating with a display device. The processor sends a first registration message to register with a first service provider. If the processor attempts a second registration with a second service provider, the processor produces a prompt on the display to fulfill a service agreement to the first service provider. The processor receives a response to the prompt. If the response fulfills the service agreement, then the processor permits registration with the second service provider. If, however, the response fails to fulfill the service agreement, then the processor disables a function of the article of manufacture.
