Configuring Digital Rights

1. Select Enable Serial Numbers.

2. From the Generation Method list, select how you will generate the serial number(s) for the product:
   • Manual List – Used when you will enter or import a list of serial numbers to be used by the product. Continue with the next steps to define how serial numbers will be generated and set up with the product.
   • Fixed Number – Used when you will enter a single serial number that is to be used with all purchases (individual units) of the product. When you select this option, the Fixed Number Input field appears. In this field, enter the serial number you want to use for all purchases of the product in this field and click Save at the bottom of the page. See example. You are done setting up the serial numbers for this product and are returned to the Create Product or Edit Product page for the product.
     
     
3. From the Distribution list, select how you want serial numbers to be distributed with purchases of the product.
4. In the Serial Numbers per Unit field, enter the number of serial numbers you want to use for each sale (individual unit) of the product.
5. In the Notification Email field, enter the email address where you want the notification sent when the number of serial numbers for the product are running low (you define this number in the next step) and need to be replenished.
6. In the Initial Warning Number field, enter the number at which you want to be notified that serial numbers are running low. When the available number of serial numbers for the product reaches this number, a notification is sent to the email address you provided in the step above.
7. In the Notification Interval field, enter the number of serial numbers that will be distributed after the initial warning is sent before another notification is sent. For example, if you enter "2" in this field, after an initial warning is sent, an additional notification will be sent after two serial numbers are used, and every two after that until the serial numbers are gone.

8. If the digital rights will be verified by Global Commerce, select the Local Purchases check box. If the digital rights are verified by another system, such as the Trialware Network or Software Passport, select the Activation Service Required check box. There may be cases where both check boxes are selected.
9. Click the Import or Export button, depending on the action you want to take. You will be taken to the Catalog Import and Export page where you can import or export the serial numbers and/or unlock codes. Some of the options on the Import and Export page will already be set according to the product where you were configuring digital rights. To learn how to use the Catalog Import and Export page to import or export digital rights, see Importing and Exporting Digital Rights.
   
   

Note: If digital rights have already been set up for this product, the number of serial numbers or unlock codes remaining appears next to Unused Serial Numbers or Unused Unlock Codes (if you have not added digital rights "0" will appear).

1. Click the Unlock Codes tab and select Enable Unlock Codes.
   
   
2. From the Generation Method list, select how you want the unlock codes to be generated for the product. The options in this list vary depending on your site.
   • Select Manual List if you want to enter or import a list of unlock codes to be used by the product. Continue with the next step to define how you will generate and manage unlock codes.
   • Select Fixed Number if you want to enter a single unlock code for all purchases of the product. When you select this option, the Fixed Number Input field appears. Enter the unlock code you want to use for all purchases of the product in this field and click Save at the bottom of the page. You are done setting up the unlock codes for this product and are returned to the Create Product or Edit Product page for the product.
3. If you want to use unlock codes from a Digital River source such as SoftwarePassport, make sure you select a generation method that indicates this. Depending on your site you may have more than one Digital River generation option, and other external sources may be listed. Contact your Store Operations team if you have questions about the options in this list.
4. From the Distribution list, select how you want to distribute unlock codes with the product. You can choose to distribute the same code for each sale, or a different code for each sale.
5. If you selected a SoftwarePassport (SWP) generation method, select or enter the unlock code information:
   • If you have a .arm file, in the Upload ARM File area, click Browse and select the .arm file on your computer.
   • Or, if you need to manually set up the unlock codes, in the Manual ARM Settings area, select or enter the options as needed.
