A method and apparatus are disclosed. A device including processing circuitry in communication with a programmable logic device (PLD) is provided. The PLD includes a plurality of physical resources and a plurality of sensors, each having a wear characteristic measurable by a corresponding one of the plurality of sensors. The device is configured to determine at least one ageing curve associated with the plurality of physical resources, the at least one ageing curve including a rate of change of the wear characteristic. The device is configured to select a first product bit-file of a plurality of functionally equivalent product bit-files, the selected product bit-file being configured to cause a set of the plurality of physical resources of the PLD to be used based on the determined at least one ageing curve. The device is configured to configure the PLD to execute the first product bit-file.
