## What is digital rights management software?

Researched by: [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/resources/author/capterra/)

Updated on July 13, 2026

[Digital rights management (DRM) software](https://www.capterra.com/digital-rights-management-software/) is a solution that helps businesses prevent their digital assets, such as research documents, reports, modules, images, or audio files, from unauthorized redistribution and restrict copying without permission. The software helps businesses establish policies and copyrights on their digital assets to control how they organize, share, store, and retrieve content.

DRM software uses encryption and codes to secure digital media assets by customizing features such as controls/permissions access, revocation access, and expiration management access, among others. The software also provides detailed analytical reports to track the actions of those who have access to business assets.

## The benefits of digital rights management software

The benefits of using digital rights management software vary per business requirements, but the following ones are worth noting: 

-   **Safeguard copyright issues:** With global distribution, locating the original source of a document/file/information can be difficult. Not only this but, copying and rebranding have become a common practice. DRM software enables businesses to establish and retain ownership by watermarking or encrypting their work and preventing unauthorized modifications.
    
-   **Prevent data breach:** DRM software allows you to control asset availability to ensure only authorized people have access to confidential data. Its monitoring access feature allows you to control/permit the use of files, documents, and information, thereby preventing data leaks.
    
-   **Track activity:** Use the activity tracker and analytics feature to gain better insight into where and when each user has accessed your documents. You can also use data analytics to evaluate the media with the most engagement, top users, and overall performance of a business's digital assets.

## Typical features of digital rights management software

Here are some of the most common features of digital rights management software:

-   **Access controls/permissions:** Regulate who can access and use the digital resources by setting permissions and issuing passwords.
    
-   **Access revocation:** Revoke access to files anytime, even after their delivery to end-users.
    
-   **Access expiration management:** Set rules for access to expire based on fixed dates, the time elapsed, the number of views, and the number of downloads.
    
-   **Audio/video protection:** Protect your business’s audio/video assets from unauthorized distribution. Encrypt such files so that only authorized users can access them.
    
-   **Copy/save/print restrictions:** Restrict downloads, copying, saving, or printing of protected documents and watermark them automatically.
    
-   **Digital distribution management:** Manage the delivery of digital media content such as software, audio, videos, images, and electronic publications, by determining how they can be shared.
    
-   **IP restriction:** Allow access only to specific IP addresses, locations, or devices. This means that if your media is only available to people living in the United States, it will be unavailable to those in other nations.
    
-   **Image protection:** Support a range of image file formats with codified protection.
    
-   **License management:** Track and organize the number of licenses available to the business by automatic scanning and alerting about the procurement of new licenses.
    
-   **PDF protection:** Prevent unauthorized editing, copying, downloading, printing, or sharing of protected PDF files.
    
-   **Screen capture restriction:** Restrict viewers from taking screen-grabs/screenshots of protected files or software.
    
-   **Software application protection:** Prevent unauthorized access or downloading of protected software applications.
    
-   **Digital watermarking:** Watermark your documents, files, and software applications to establish identity and ownership.

## The cost of digital rights management software

Most products in the market are priced on a “per month” basis and can be divided into three pricing tiers based on their starting price.

**Price ranges\*:**

-   $25 - $29
    
-   $29 - $100
    
-   $100+
    

_\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offering found on vendor websites on September 28, 2021. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._

The above list summarizes pricing for the base plans of most products. An enterprise or premium product that is priced higher may include additional features such as DIY website plugins, API access, onboarding assistance, and end-user support.

## Considerations when purchasing digital rights management software

-   **Integration:** Digital rights management software works alongside solutions such as data loss prevention, digital asset management, and content management. Thereby, the solution you are planning to purchase must integrate with your current technology stack. Software that integrates well with your existing resources facilitates seamless digital distribution management without compromising data security and ownership.
    
-   **Compatible file format:** While digital rights management software is mostly used to protect DOC and PDF formats, other media files such as images, videos, and PPTs also need protection. Ensure that the tool you choose is compatible with all the file formats that you want to protect.
    
-   **Deployment platform:** Businesses can use cloud-based SaaS, desktop, and mobile, or a combination of these platforms, to deploy a digital rights management software. It is important to consider which of these platforms is most suitable for your business’s asset classification and scalability.
    
-   **Budget and cost of ownership:** There are many free DRM solutions available online, but they may fail to provide strong protection against unauthorized access. As far as web-based solutions are concerned, you can choose to pay a monthly or annual fee that works with your budget. However, some features such as plugins and API access may incur an additional cost. Make sure to confirm the total cost of ownership, including hidden costs for maintenance and employee training, before selecting a product.

## Relevant digital rights management software trends

[Increased usage of non-fungible tokens (NFT) for digital rights management](https://www.blockchainappfactory.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-nft-for-digital-rights-management/): Businesses with block-chain technology stack are beginning to use non-fungible tokens (NFT) which are used to verify unique files such as digital art and digital ownership. These tokens can store videos, books, code source, and files uploaded by owners. And, new tokens are issued as and when a new digital asset is uploaded. This allows digital asset owners to license and distribute their documents through a streaming link, accessible from all browsers. Introducing blockchain technology and NFTs in digital rights management will eliminate the middle party existence and make transactions between the parties smooth and easy.
