Digital rights management

Digital rights management (DRM) is copyright protection, designed to prevent
modification and to limit distribution of protected files. When you download
protected files, such as sound, video, themes, or ringing tones to your phone, the
files are free, but locked. You pay for the key to activate the file, and the activation
key is automatically sent to your phone when you download the file.

To view the permissions for a protected file, scroll to the file, and select Options >
Activation keys. For example, you can see how many times you can view a video or
how many days you have left for listening to a song.

To extend the permissions for a file, select Options and the corresponding option
for the file type, such as Activate theme. You can send certain types of protected
files to your friends, and they can buy their own activation keys.

This phone supports OMA DRM 2.0.

Content owners may use different types of digital rights management (DRM) technologies
to protect their intellectual property, including copyrights. This device uses various types of
DRM software to access DRM-protected content. With this device you can access content
protected with WMDRM 10.07, OMA DRM 1.0 and OMA DRM 2.0. If certain DRM software
fails to protect the content, content owners may ask that such DRM software's ability to
access new DRM-protected content be revoked. Revocation may also prevent renewal of
such DRM-protected content already in your device. Revocation of such DRM software does
not affect the use of content protected with other types of DRM or the use of non-DRM-
protected content.

Digital rights management (DRM) protected content comes with an associated activation
key that defines your rights to use the content.

If your device has OMA DRM-protected content, to back up both the activation keys and the
content, use the backup feature of Nokia PC Suite. Other transfer methods may not transfer
the activation keys which need to be restored with the content for you to be able to
continue the use of OMA DRM-protected content after the device memory is formatted. You
may also need to restore the activation keys in case the files on your device get corrupted.
