About
Download Securer Module is an ASP.NET source code module which allows you to hide download locations from users of your website by generating URL which includes an ID number to authorize a user to download the file a certain number of times.

This system has its uses in digital distribution environments where a user purchases a product and is then sent a link to download it, where you would want to limit the links lifetime and its ability to access the product. This provides an anti-piracy mechanism to protect your products and your revenue...

Specification
- The module has API for generating links to your products and stores information in a MS Access database. - It also comes with an admin area to manipulate the systems functionality if needed via a web interface.
- Written in C# ASP.NET.
- Easily intergrated into your existing systems to protect your digital content.
- Template based error pages for maximum flexibility.
- Fully commented, with instructions on configuring and integrating into your existng applications.

Using the API
The API for adding a new file to the database of downloadable products is as follows;

Link.AddNewFile ( name, path to file );

To generate a unique download link to the file, use the following command;

Link.GenerateDownloadURL ( name );

This will produce a URL with a unique ID, e.g. http://mysite/download.aspx?authorize_id=122382138 which you can then send to your customer so that they can download your product.
The amount of time that they have access to the product (from the first time they click on the link) and the maximum number of times they can download the product limits possibilities for piracy whilst being flexible enough for your customers.
