Adobe will ship today its renamed digital rights management software for the Flash platform. Previously known Flash Media Rights Management Server, the new incarnation is called Flash Access 2.0. The company already had announced intentions to shorten the name and will roll out the upgrade at New York's Streaming Media East conference.
In a beta release for about nine months, Flash Access 2.0 has been made more scalable, said Ashley Still, Adobe group product for Flash. "Version 2.0 has been completely rewritten as an SDK, so the way that it's being delivered is different," she said. By reconfiguring the technology as an SDK, users gain greater flexibility, and it is easier to link to user management databases, Still said.
Developers can write an implementation of the SDK, and Adobe offers reference implementations, such as streaming and download-to-own or download-to-rent for content. The SDK primarily works with the Java language.
