Publications with extension of DRMZ have digital protection (DRM=Digital Rights Management) technology, which can be opened only with special reader after submitting a valid authorization code. This code will be available after purchasing the publication.
Code registration needs Internet access. Publication registration is valid only on a single device. The authorization process relates the file to the computer and disk on which it is authorized. After registering a publication, you cannot use the code on another device, so you have to decide in advance, which device you want to use to read the publication. Please review the features of the readers for different operating systems below, and optionally try to use with a not secured pdf file. These readers are free.
You only need to download and install the reader once, however many DRMZ ebooks you purchase. Please make sure that you have your Authorization code or codes for the book(s) you have ordered and follow the steps below carefully. If you have any problems you can email us for assistance. Thank you.
You have to turn off any screen recorder/capture in the background, else you cannot open the publication.
All the publications are under copyright. Illegal use, copy, photo taking, distribution of any kind, decrypting, removing the restrictions, are forbidden, and against the law.
After successful registration the publication can be opened anytime without Internet access, you can leave notes in it, but cannot print.
