Abstract

Aspects of the present invention may be seen in a device management (DM) network capable of associating billing codes with device management activities that involve transfer of data, upload or download of content, device management activities, reporting diagnostics messages, reporting alerts, reporting events, etc., in order to facilitate selective billing of such activities and selective assignment of one of several possible billing entities with these activities. In one embodiment of the present invention, each DM session has an associated billing code. In another embodiment of the present invention, nodes in a DM tree in the device may have an associated billing code to be communicated or otherwise used for billing by a billing server.
