Content owners can securely package their digital files for distribution by using Media-DRM packager encrypting the content with a key. The key is a piece of encrypted data that is used to unlock a file. To play a packaged file, the consumer must obtain a license that contains this key. The license, which is distributed separately from the content, enables the content owner to set rules that determine how the packaged file can be played. Once a license has been received, a consumer can watch or listen to the file based on the rules arranged by the content owner.

Licenses can have different rights, such as start times and dates, duration, and counted operations. For instance, default rights may allow the consumer to play the digital media file on a specific computer and copy the file to a portable device. Licenses, however, are not transferable. If a consumer sends a packaged digital media file to a friend, this friend must acquire her own license to play the digital media file. This PC-by-PC licensing scheme ensures that the packaged digital media file can only be played by the computer that has been granted the license key for that file.

When end users play the protected content, Media Player will pop up a license acquisition window. End users have to enter correct username and password to acquire licenses. Content owners can manage end users account, and set rules for end users in Media-DRM Account – Users.  Content owners can view the reports in Media-DRM Reports, license delivered history and financial reports in details.
