A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for managing a system's entitlement to digital assets when the system's components are replaced. A unique system identifier, comprising the unique identifiers of predetermined system components, is associated with digital assets data to generate digital assets entitlement data, which in turn entitles the system to process the digital assets data. The digital assets entitlement is perpetuated when a first unique system component identifier is replaced with a second unique system component identifier.

1. A system for managing the entitlement of digital assets, comprising: a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a repository of system identifier data, digital assets data, and digital assets entitlement data; anda central processing unit, the central processing unit being operable to: generate a first unique system identifier associated with a target system comprising a first plurality of system components, wherein the first unique system identifier comprises a first set of unique system component identifiers corresponding to the first plurality of system components;process the first unique system identifier and digital assets identifier data to generate digital assets entitlement data entitling the target system to process digital assets data corresponding to the digital assets identifier data, wherein the first unique system identifier is associated with the digital assets entitlement data;perpetuate the entitlement of the target system if a first unique system component identifier is changed to a second unique system component identifier, the perpetuate the entitlement data comprising managing an integrity of a relationship between the first unique system identifier and the first set of unique system component identifiers, the managing the integrity of the relationship comprising maintaining at least a portion of the first unique system identifier even though the portion has been deactivated as the system identifier; and,generate a request for the target system to respond with a second unique system identifier comprising a second set of system component identifiers corresponding to a second plurality of system components; and whereina second unique system identifier is generated if a first unique system component identifier is changed to a second unique system component identifier;the first unique system identifier is disassociated with the digital assets entitlement data; andthe second unique system identifier is associated with the digital assets entitlement data, the second unique system identifier being associated with the digital assets entitlement data via a personalization agent. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first unique system component identifier is changed to a second unique system component identifier when a first system component is replaced by a second system component, wherein the first and second unique system component identifiers respectively correspond to the first and second system component. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the first unique system component identifier is invalidated when the first system component is replaced by the second system component. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the first unique system identifier further comprises at least one of a time variance value and a system type identifier. 5. A computer-implemented method for managing the entitlement of digital assets, comprising: providing a repository of system identifier data,generating a first unique system identifier associated with a target system comprising a first plurality of system components, wherein the first unique system identifier comprises a first set of unique system component identifiers corresponding to the first plurality of system components;processing the first unique system identifier and digital assets identifier data to generate digital assets entitlement data entitling the target system to process digital assets data corresponding to the digital assets identifier data, wherein the first unique system identifier is associated with the digital assets entitlement data;perpetuating the entitlement of the target system if a first unique system component identifier is changed to a second unique system component identifier, the perpetuating the entitlement data comprising managing an integrity of a relationship between the first unique system identifier and the first set of unique system component identifiers, the managing the integrity of the relationship comprising maintaining at least a portion of the first unique system identifier even though the portion has been deactivated as the system identifier; and,generating a request for the target system to respond with a second unique system identifier comprising a second set of system component identifiers corresponding to a second plurality of system components; and whereina second unique system identifier is generated if a first unique system component identifier is changed to a second unique system component identifier;the first unique system identifier is disassociated with the digital assets entitlement data; andthe second unique system identifier is associated with the digital assets entitlement data, the second unique system identifier being associated with the digital assets entitlement data via a personalization agent. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the first unique system component identifier is changed to a second unique system component identifier when a first system component is replaced by a second system component, wherein the first and second unique system component identifiers respectively correspond to the first and second system component. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the first unique system component identifier is invalidated when the first system component is replaced by the second system component. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein the first unique system identifier further comprises at least one of a time variance value and a system type identifier. 9. A non-transitory computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for: using a storage medium comprising a repository of system identifier data, digital assets data, and digital assets entitlement data; andusing processing logic to: generate a first unique system identifier associated with a target system comprising a first plurality of system components, wherein the first unique system identifier comprises a first set of unique system component identifiers corresponding to the first plurality of system components;process the first unique system identifier and digital assets identifier data to generate digital assets entitlement data entitling the target system to process digital assets data corresponding to the digital assets identifier data, wherein the first unique system identifier is associated with the digital assets entitlement data; andperpetuate the entitlement of the target system if a first unique system component identifier is changed to a second unique system component identifier, the perpetuate the entitlement data comprising managing an integrity of a relationship between the first unique system identifier and the first set of unique system component identifiers, the managing the integrity of the relationship comprising maintaining at least a portion of the first unique system identifier even though the portion has been deactivated as the system identifier; and,generate a request for the target system to respond with a second unique system identifier comprising a second set of system component identifiers corresponding to a second plurality of system components; and whereina second unique system identifier is generated if a first unique system component identifier is changed to a second unique system component identifier;the first unique system identifier is disassociated with the digital assets entitlement data; andthe second unique system identifier is associated with the digital assets entitlement data, the second unique system identifier being associated with the digital assets entitlement data via a personalization agent. 10. The computer usable medium of claim 9, wherein the first unique system component identifier is changed to a second unique system component identifier when a first system component is replaced by a second system component, wherein the first and second unique system component identifiers respectively correspond to the first and second system component. 11. The computer usable medium of claim 10, wherein the first unique system component identifier is invalidated when the first system component is replaced by the second system component. 12. The computer usable medium of claim 9, wherein the first unique system identifier further comprises at least one of a time variance value and a system type identifier.
