(canceled)

An apparatus comprising:

• a secure module, which secure module comprises at least one secure module application, the apparatus further comprising:
• a processing module configured to obtain from the secure module information concerning the at least one secure module application, wherein the processing module is, based on the obtained information, further configured to check whether a compatible counterpart application is present in the apparatus, and
• a communication module coupled with the processing module configured to obtain the compatible counterpart application from an outside source in case no compatible counterpart application is present in the apparatus.

13-15. (canceled)

(canceled)

A secure module comprising:

• a processing element for installing at least one secure module application into the secure module, and
• a memory coupled with the processing element for storing into the secure module information identifying, concerning the secure module application, a compatible counterpart application.

22-24. (canceled)

(canceled)

A method for an apparatus capable of hosting a secure module, which secure module comprises at least one secure module application, the method comprising:

• obtaining from the secure module information concerning the at least one secure module application;
• checking, based on the obtained information, whether a compatible counterpart application is present in the apparatus, and
• obtaining the compatible counterpart application from an outside source in case no compatible counterpart application is present in the apparatus.

31-35. (canceled)

A computer program comprising computer executable program code stored in a computer readable medium executable at an apparatus, the computer program comprising:

• computer executable program code configured to obtain from a secure module information concerning the at least one secure module application;
• computer executable program code configured to check, based on the obtained information, whether a compatible counterpart application is present in the apparatus, and
• computer executable program code configured to obtain the compatible counterpart application from an outside source in case no compatible counterpart application is present in the apparatus.

A computer program comprising computer executable program code stored in a computer readable medium, the computer program comprising:

• computer executable program code configured to install at least one secure module application into the secure module, and
• computer executable program code configured to store in the secure module information identifying a compatible counterpart application concerning the at least one secure module application.
