Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: storing in a memory information on a first validity range comprising position coordinates for a service authorization module seeking to access a computing system, wherein the first validity range defines position coordinates of an allowed range for a service technician having the service authorization module; storing in the memory information on a second validity range comprising position coordinates for a location authorization extension for a computing system, wherein the second validity range defines position coordinates where the computing system is located when setting-up or installing the computing system; storing in the memory information on at least one additional validity range for at least one additional module; determining from a first receiver of the service authorization module a first position signal; determining from a second receiver of the location authorization extension a second position signal; determining from the first position signal whether the service authorization module is within the first validity range; determining from the second position signal whether the local authorization extension is within the second validity range; determining at least one additional position signal from at least one additional receiver; and granting the service authorization module access to the computing system in response to determining that the first, the second, and the at least one additional position signal are within the first, the second, and the at least one additional validity range, respectively.
