14. A converter peripheral for converting an electronic document for output by a multifunction peripheral comprising: a network interface for receiving the electronic document, the electronic document in a page description language unsupported by the multifunction peripheral; a processor for determining that conversion of the electronic document by the converter peripheral is unlicensed, generating a single-use license for the converter peripheral enabling the converter peripheral to output only the electronic document, via the multifunction peripheral, a physical document including configuration data for the converter peripheral, thus consuming the single-use license; the processor further for accessing configuration data in order to determine at least one page description language supported by the multifunction peripheral, for accessing local license data to confirm that the converter peripheral is authorized to perform a conversion, and for converting the electronic document into a page description language supported by the multifunction peripheral; and an output interface for transmitting the converted electronic document to the multifunction peripheral for output.
