Abstract

Methods and arrangements for distributing computer programs and user licenses in a secure manner are disclosed, wherein licences and computer programs are distributed independently, and wherein the a protected computer program never is changed into a registered version, but where a Digital Rights Management agent installed on the computer of a user includes a database over computer programs that may be executed legally on the computer, and the necessary keys for decryption and executing encrypted functions in the program. The program is protected by a combination of encryption, coding and self-destructive code. Further, it is disclosed how keys are developed, how local information is protected in the DRM agent, and how the DRM agent is validated from the protected program.
