Methods for authorizing use of an application on a device

A computing device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code;
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to cause the at least one processor to:
• identify a plurality of device identifiers of the computing device, the plurality of device identifiers including a primary device identifier active for the computing device, wherein each device identifier of the plurality of device identifiers identifies the computing device;
• apply a pre-determined rule regarding the identified plurality of device identifiers of the computing device such that authorization information is identical for each authorization of use of an application regardless of which of the plurality of device identifiers is the primary device identifier, wherein the computer program code to apply the pre-determined rule causes the at least one processor to sort the plurality of device identifiers according to a pre-determined sorting rule;
• determine the authorization information, used to subsequently determine authorization for the application which is stored on the at least one memory, based on a result of the applying of the pre-determined rule regarding the identified plurality of device identifiers of the computing device;
• and
• determine authorization for use of the application on the computing device in response to the authorization information.

A method for authorizing use of a digital wallet application on a device, the method comprising:

• identifying, at the device, a plurality of device identifiers of the device, the plurality of device identifiers including a primary device identifier active for the device, wherein each device identifier of the plurality of device identifiers identifies the device;
• applying, at the device, a pre-determined rule regarding the identified plurality of device identifiers of the device such that authorization information is identical for each authorization of use of the digital wallet application regardless of which of the plurality of device identifiers is the primary device identifier, wherein applying the pre-determined rule comprises sorting the plurality of device identifiers according to a pre-determined sorting rule;
• determining, at the device, the authorization information, used to subsequently determine authorization for the digital wallet application, based on a result of the applying of the pre-determined rule regarding the identified plurality of device identifiers of the device;
• and
• authorizing, at the device, use of the digital wallet application on the device in response to the authorization information.
