Possible to place DRM java midlets on a CD-ROM?

[slimgw]

I want to DRM some java midlets and keep them "locked" onto a CD-ROM. Is this possible with current NOkia DRM implementations?

No, that's not the purpose of DRM on the phone and for content intended for a phone.

Look into CD-ROM copy protection mechanisms like Macrovision and whatever.

Slight misunderstanding.

Basically, I'm looking for a way for midlets on a CDROM to be tied to the phone.

Hi,

I think this must be possible. Use separate delivery - the midlets are encrypted and distributed on a CD-ROM. After the user installs a midlet on the phone from the CD-ROM, the user needs to connect to a right server to obtain a rights object in order to be able to use the midlet.

Kind regards,

Good point, Heuven. You are 100% right.
Every time that I need to distribute the content using a non trusted delivery method (like a CD, email, Bluetooth) I send the content using a Separate Delivery, and after the user buy the rights.

Fabio.
