<p>Digital rights management (DRM) is a technology used to protect different
types of media (for example, audio, video and images) against illegal copying,
and control the distribution of the media. There are several widely used DRM
standards, of which the following are supported by devices based on the Symbian
platform: </p>

</ul>
<p>If your application deals with multimedia content, apply DRM technology
to control access to the content. For more information, see <xref href="GUID-A7862778-D52F-4747-8642-3F16A7C65BB7.dita">DRM-protected
multimedia</xref> and <xref href="GUID-C29F822D-640C-47F0-89C3-92D17DA31D49.dita">Playing
DRM-protected audio content</xref>.</p>
<p>The following figure illustrates the general principle of DRM content
authoring.</p>

<p>The application itself can be DRM-protected. Use the DRM License Checker API to
DRM-protect data files and skins in your application. To install a protected
application, you must have a valid license. Vital application data can also
be protected through encryption. Note that DRM License Checker API requires
