Abstract

A method for allowing multiple users to access preview content is disclosed. In one embodiment, a user is provided with preview content and is allowed to access the preview content even if another user's access to the preview content has expired. In another embodiment, a user is provided with content that he is not allowed to access but is allowed to access a preview version of the content by creating a license that specifies the user's access to the preview content, wherein the license is stored on a memory device that stores the preview content. Other embodiments are disclosed, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
