You should install the license the same way you install other software.


> the same way you install other software

You mean, completely anonymously, and without any association of a machine to an owner?

I install software through `adb install software.apk`, or through `make`, or similar, of packages stored on drive...

I am not sure this can be the model, for this new "unlocking hardware features" scheme. Many will just say, "No "thank" you" - and I am not sure about all the practical consequences. I am even more concerned that this facilitates preparing the way for taking for granted some practice like "register after purchase to be enabled for using the product", which I am informed some already attempted.
