Estimating the term…
Generating and validating a subscription key based on subscription parameters associated with a jurisdiction file stored in a NVRAM, the subscription key having characters based on a subscription start date, a subscription term, a key generation date, and a cyclical redundancy check value. Parameters are extracted from the subscription key including the subscription start date, the subscription term, the key generation date, and the cyclical redundancy check value and are stored in a memory of the gaming machine. The key is checked by generating a local cyclical redundancy check value based on a MAC address of the gaming machine and one or more of the extracted parameters, and is validated when the local cyclical redundancy check value matches the cyclical redundancy check value extracted from the subscription key. The jurisdiction file may be updated during a RAM clear function during installation of the gaming machine.
A computer-implemented method of generating a subscription key which controls the operation of a gaming machine or the presentation of one or more games at the gaming machine, the method implemented via a web server comprising a controller, a memory and machine-readable code stored in the memory and executable by the controller, the method comprising the steps of:
The method of claim where the fourth input is received after the third input which is received after the second input which is received after the first input.
A method of controlling access to operation of a gaming machine, the gaming machine comprising at least a display for displaying game play information, a processor configured to execute machine readable instructions fixed in a tangible medium, an input device, and a memory including a non-volatile random access memory, the method comprising the steps of:
A computer-implemented method of generating a jurisdiction file which controls the access to subscription service of a gaming machine, the method implemented via a web server comprising a controller, a memory and machine-readable code stored in the memory and executable by the controller, the method comprising the steps of:
