SealedMedia announced the launch of its Enterprise License Server. Clients will now be able to keep content rights management processes in-house by licensing SealedMedia's digital rights management (DRM) product, which previously was only available as an ASP service. SealedMedia's launch of the Enterprise License Server keeps the company's goal intact--to separate the content rights from the content itself. According to Peter Kumik, SealedMedia's managing director/EMEA, the new service is still geared towards publishers--the same market they have been serving since 1996. "Publishers will now be able to have the same product in-house, and also be able to offer ASP services to smaller publishers," says Kumik. According to Kumik, Webgenerics, a large, European publishing company and one of the first clients using the new service, currently uses the Enterprise License server to offer ASP services to smaller publishers. SealedMedia's Enterprise License Server 2.0 is a DRM product that grants licenses whose rules are previously defined by content creators in license templates. Clients licensing the server will be able to assign any number of license templatesthat will be associated with a content set, which can contain any number of categories. Each set category can include multiple files of any supported format. A license will be able to control any combination of categories within a content set. Clients using the Enterprise License Server will be able to secure the content they want to keep confidential and keep it in-house in its own server, without having to package the content and having end-users downloading licenses from SealedMedia's servers. Clients that license the Enterprise License Server will be able to integrate the service with existing content management and creation systems, and CRM systems and databases, creating marketing and delivery channels for new and existing content.
