Digital Rights Management (DRM)
DRM (Digital Rights Management) allows authors to protect their work from theft and unnecessary access, while ensuring that authorized users can easily access their material.
To view Nokia ONC DRM protected materials, you need:
- Internet connection
- Recent version of Adobe Reader
- FileOpen plugin
You can download and install the FileOpen plugin from the following location: http://plugin.fileopen.com/all.aspx
At this moment, only Nuage Networks VCP and Nokia ONC material are DRM protected.
Assuming you have accessed your courseware on a specific device before, you can continue to re-access it on said device for up to 7 days without internet connection. After the 7th day, the material will be inaccessible until you have a chance to reconnect to the internet and provide login details again. You must be connected to the internet the first time you open DRM protected courseware.
You can access your material on up to 6 devices.
Please contact learning.services@nokia.com outlining a reason to place a request for more devices.
Viewing courseware on mobile devices is not officially supported nor recommended as the material can be large and difficult to read on a small screen. FileOpen does feature apps you can download on various mobile operating systems; you may choose to authorize your mobile devices and view material on them at your own discretion
Your DRM username password should have been sent to you in an email when you received your materials. If you did not receive the email or have lost the email, please contact learning.services@nokia.com.
Presently, you are unable to change your DRM password. If you feel your password needs to be changed, please contact learning.servies@nokia.com
Please see their FAQs here or contact learning.services@nokia.com for anything else that has not been addressed.
