Basic secured documents (DRM) files do not require authorization in order to open and/or print them. Each DRM document published can be supplied to any number of individuals without additional cost. If you wish to publish such files without limits to the number of times they can be viewed or to specify that they can only be viewed by selected pre-registered Drumlin users (User specific DRMs), a software license must be purchased (see License Edition comparison table, below; to order select: Order form for Software Licenses and upgrades). All license fees include an initial quota specifying how many documents can be published. Additional quota units can be purchased separately if required (to order select: Order form for additional DRM quota units).

Fully secured (DRMX) files require an authorization code to enable them for reading/printing (they are converted to DRM files and locked to the user's PC settings). This is the strongest security we provide and does not require the user to have pre-registered with the Drumlin service. A Standard, Pro or Pro+ software license purchase is required by the publisher for this option - publishers are recommended to order a Drumlin Pro or Pro Plus Edition license to take advantage of the extra functionality and codes provided with these versions of the software. Additional DRMX Authorization codes can be purchased (to order select: Order form for DRMX authorization codes)
