where you can add and edit On the left side, you will see My Account panel. You can click User Group. User Group is the category of users.

In Step 3, you know Users are classified by User Groups. We also need to create License Profile which includes License Rights. If you encrypt 2 files with a same License Profile, users will be able to play both of the files after they get the license, for the license they use is same. A License Profile can include multiple rights, so the End Users can choose which license rights they want to buy.



Step 5: Protect Audio/Video Files

After you created User Group, Users, Rights and License Profile, you will be able to protect Audio/Video Files.

It's time for us to use online DRM-X Audio/Video Packager to encrypt multimedia files and Haihaisoft Universal Player to play them.

Step 7: Publish

After you protected the files, you can publish the DRM-X protected files anywhere, for example, download from your website, put the protected files in CD, and upload to P2P file sharing networks. We encourage customers to copy the files, because every time a new computer got the protected files, customers need to acquire license to play. Once a license has been received, a consumer can watch or listen to the file based on the rules arranged by you. The license cannot be copied or shared, it generated by DRM-X servers and base-on customers' computer hardware information. So you can safely publish the files to anywhere!

Step 8: Update

Because Licenses are issued independently of the actual documents and media files, you can update rights settings without need to encrypt the files again.
