Reliable control of all your licenses and effective protection for your business
with Sharedien's precise rights management
In most cases, content elements like images are purchased externally, so licenses play an important role
and a violation can involve significant costs.
How long can an image be used for which channel and in which countries? Who owns the image rights and what does the license cost for which regions? These are crucial questions in the realm of digital asset management (DAM) and digital rights management (DRM).
More and more, images are being purchased externally, making licenses, copyright, and digital rights management (DRM) software solutions an increasingly important issue. It is crucial to always keep an eye on licenses, copyright, and image rights — especially with international campaigns and many output channels.
To make everyday life easier, Sharedien DAM integrates Digital Rights Management with many helpful features that monitor the use of content such as images and videos, while reliably protecting access to digital assets.
With Sharedien's DRM, you are always on the safe side.

Brief answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Digital Rights Management, or DRM for short, is responsible for managing licenses and ensuring compliance in day-to-day operations. As a corporate discipline, DRM includes both organizational and technical measures.
A modern DAM system with integrated DRM functionality allows licensed assets to be monitored and controlled directly at the source – automatically and reliably. This helps prevent violations and the legal or financial consequences that may result.
In a DAM system, licenses and related usage rights can be stored as metadata directly on the corresponding digital asset. Details such as license duration or approved usage areas are always visible to users. Licenses can also be actively managed through the DAM system – including termination or renewal. Features like automatic notifications when licenses expire further support effective digital rights management.
A modern DAM system protects digital content by ensuring compliant use of licensed assets in day-to-day operations and by securing published content against unauthorized access and misuse. This is achieved through the use of metadata, automated status updates, predefined rules and approval workflows, as well as technical safeguards like download and editing restrictions or visible and invisible watermarks.
Automated workflows typically notify responsible users well in advance of upcoming expiration dates – giving them enough time to renew licenses or provide alternative assets. If a license expires and the asset may no longer be used, the DAM system automatically takes action: access can be restricted, the asset archived, or it can be removed from user visibility.
