ABSTRACT:
A system and method for delivering a digital product electronically is disclosed. The system and method comprises providing an electronic license certificate (ELC) from an end-user to a server and then validating the ELC by the server. Finally, the method and system includes sending the digital product from the server to the user based upon validation of the electronic license certificate by the server. Accordingly, a digital product delivery system that is based on the concept of an active license (AL) which contains a plurality of active license objects (ALPOs) is disclosed. An ALPO is a software program that contains a digitally signed certificate document that may entitle the holder to receive, possess, and use a specific product. In essence, this certificate is a software application program that contains three major components: an electronic license certificate (ELC), a certificate viewer, and application functions to perform operations as granted by the license certificate, for example, retrieving and installing digital products.
