ArtistScope DRM Hosting provides a total control solution for Digital Rights Management to almost anyone with a computer. Instead of licensing software and worrying about hosting, you can start from an online management console within 48 hours.

No software needs to be installed. All that is required is for the hosting fee to paid 12 months in advance for your account to be set up and active within 24-48 hours depending on the account realm that you nominate.

DRM Account Types

The first thing to decide is which account realm:

A DRM User can view documents and web pages assigned to their own group A DRM Author can add groups, users, documents, web pages and templates for user pages A DRM Owner have control over all of the above with their own SQL database A DRM Site is a standalone web site on our servers using any alias or domain name

DRM Hosting Fees

The initial set up fee varies according to the account realm that select. Then you only have to purchase a number of credits for validations.

Validations

"Validations" are the hits on our database requesting authorization to access a protected document or web page. Each page or document requested equals one hit. If a document is accessed and there is a print limit on the document then the hits recorded may amount to two.

To enable authors to check their pages and update them regularly, no hits are recorded when the page is accessed while logged in using the author's account.

Storage limits

There is no storage limit for any of the account types. Every user is entitled to upload as many documents and create as many web pages as they need.

Administration and Distribution

The creation of user accounts, document conversion and management occurs server side so that it can managed from remote computers without having to install software. You can assign administrators and other special users permitted to submit publications, update document permissions or suspend document availability at any time.

DRM User Account

All users are entitled to log into the DRM web site and enjoy the following:

DRM Author Account
