■ 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.

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.
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.
