Download Limit

Overview

This feature allows you to restrict access to digital content based on a download limit. Each successful download counts toward the limit for that line item. Once the limit is reached, customers will no longer have access to the digital content. This means downloading content, revealing keys, etc. will no longer be available.

Configuration

This feature uses Global and Product level settings. See Setting Priority for more details.

  2. Set the maximum number of downloads customers are allowed.

  5. Click the "Turn On" button to activate the feature.

If for any reason you need to provide access to the customer after the download limit has been reached, you can reset the limit.
