Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments for determining where a license period for consuming content is expired. An exemplary embodiment involves receiving content for consumption on a client device, the content being associated with a license agreement defining a license period for consumption and determining whether the license period has expired based at least in part on a current time received from a server, the server being separate from the client device. The embodiment then involves terminating access to the content based on a determination that the license period has expired.
