Systems and methods for distinguishing information handling system provider-supported information handling resource via system license

A method comprising:

• recording information regarding at least one information handling resource present in an information handling system, wherein the at least one information handling resource is a hardware information handling resource, and wherein the information identifies a manufacturer of the at least one information handling resource;
• comparing the information to a license for the information handling system to determine if the at least one information handling resource is supported by a provider of the information handling system;
• comparing the manufacturer to a whitelist and/or a blacklist of manufacturers to determine that the manufacturer is an unsupported manufacturer;
• and
• responsive to determining that the information handling system is unsupported by the provider based on the manufacturer being the unsupported manufacturer, initiating a remedial action with respect to at least one information handling resource to improve stability of the information handling system to a greater stability level than would be present in the absence of the remedial action, wherein the remedial action includes disabling the at least one information handling resource from being used by the information handling system such that the information handling system continues functioning without using the at least one information handling resource.

An article of manufacture comprising:

• computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to:
• record information regarding at least one information handling resource present in an information handling system, wherein the at least one information handling resource is a hardware information handling resource, and wherein the information identifies a manufacturer of the at least one information handling resource;
• compare the information to a license for the information handling system to determine if the at least one information handling resource is supported by a provider of the information handling system;
• compare the manufacturer to a whitelist and/or a blacklist of manufacturers to determine that the manufacturer is an unsupported manufacturer;
• and
• responsive to determining that the information handling system is unsupported by the provider based on the manufacturer being the unsupported manufacturer, initiate a remedial action with respect to at least one information handling resource to improve stability of the information handling system to a greater stability level than would be present in the absence of the remedial action, wherein the remedial action includes disabling the at least one information handling resource from being used by the information handling system such that the information handling system is configured to continue functioning without using the at least one information handling resource.
