Abstract:
A network manager of a wireless mesh network is configured to selectively enable or disable communication services provided between devices over the network. The selective enabling or disabling of services may be based on the monitoring and enforcement of license terms set according to license information embedded within the wireless network node(s) or access point(s) of the network. In operation, the network manager retrieves the license information from the node(s) and/or access point(s) of the network, and establishes license terms based on the retrieved license information. In turn, the network manager selectively enables or disables network services, such as by throttling communications relayed between the user application and the nodes, or between nodes, if the license terms are not respected.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for managing network communication services in a wireless network comprising a plurality of network node devices using license information embedded in a device, comprising:\n receiving, by a network manager device configured for communication with the plurality of network node devices, from a first network node device in communication with the plurality of network node devices of the network, a network joining message including license information embedded in the first network node device; relaying, via the network manager device in response to receiving the network joining message, communications between the first network node device and a user application external to the network; and selectively disabling, by the network manager device, the relaying of communications between the first network node device and a user application external to the network based on a number of network node devices designated by the received license information as managed by the network manager device.
