Frequently asked questions

What is Digital Rights Management (DRM)?
Digital Rights Management (DRM) enables you to set and control copyright protection and data privacy for your intellectual property, such as market research, eBooks, training materials, PDFs modules and reports. DRM protection enables you to prevent your digital files from unauthorized redistribution and restrict how your recipients can copy content.
