You determine whether to enable all the available pricing models for a content type or just a subset. For instance, if you associate a CDS DRM Agent with MIDlets, you can elect to enable all the available pricing models possible with that DRM or a subset, such as first download only, per use, and per period.

You make the DRM selections and the pricing model selections for a content type on the MIME Types page in the Catalog Manager. All the pricing models supported by the Content Delivery Server are listed. Non applicable pricing models are not selectable. Therefore, if you selected None for the image content type, you cannot select the Per Use pricing model because it is not available without DRM protection.

Previously, a content item, such as a MIDlet, could have a combination of pricing models such as charge on first download only and charge per subscription. Such combinations are not possible with the use of digital rights management. To simplify management of content, all content items can have only one pricing model. For preexisting content items that have a pricing model combination, the first download only and recurring download models are no longer applicable.
