The Content Delivery Server supports the combinations of DRM options and pricing
models as shown in
TABLE 2-7.
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only and recurring download models are no longer applicable.
