Digital Rights Management (DRM)

When you download multimedia content available online, such as Java applications, these items may be subject to DRM restrictions. DRM, or digital rights management, is a system that defines how copyrighted multimedia content can be distributed and used.

DRM limits items to time-based or count-based usage settings. Time-based settings let you use the given item for a specified interval. Count-based settings let you use an item for a specified number of times after you download it or for unlimited use.

Managing Items

Depending on how the third-party vendor has set rights for the given DRM item, you may be unable to perform some of the following tasks.

You can check a DRM item’s license to view the following information:

For time-based items, either the date and time the item expires, or the number of days left.

For count-based items, the number of credits (uses) left or an unlimited use notice.

The name of the item’s vendor.
