The challenge mechanism is the basis for ensuring that licensed products are used only within the licensing terms. The challenge mechanism allows the licensed product to authenticate the license provider and the activation key used to grant licensing rights. A challenge is typically created by the licensed product and answered by the license provider; the answer is then verified by the licensed product.
