Abstract

Apparatus and methods for licensing the use of a data element by a particular device are disclosed. An algorithm is used to generate a first license code using data particular to the data element and data particular to the device. The first license code is checked against a second license code subsequently generated in order to validate a subsequent operation on the data element, such as decryption and audio reproduction of an audio data file.
