Abstract: Systems and methods for managing access to electronic products are described. In an embodiment, a system implemented method includes receiving, from a source, a first code associated with an item; receiving, from another source, another first code and a second code associated with the item; evaluating the first code with the another first code; associating the second code with the first code based on a result from the evaluating; identifying an access key, and transmitting the access key to the second source, the access key is for accessing one or more rights associated with the item.

Abstract: A product authorization service is described, including receiving, from a first source, an item serial number (ISN) of a product and an item-specific key (ISK) for the product; receiving, from a second source, a product-package serial number (PPSN) associated with the product and information about the second source; storing the received PSN with an authorized indication based on the information about the second source indicating an authorized source; receiving, from the product, the PSN and the ISN; determining whether the PSN is the same as the receive PSN with the authorized indication; and if the PSN is the same as the receive PSN, transmitting the ISK to the product, the ISK enables activation of one or more features of the product.

Abstract: Controlling rights associated with a product is described, including receiving, from a source, a first code of a media product, the first code is unique to the media product; authorizing the media product based on the first code and information about the source; receiving, from another source, the first code and a second code of media the product, the second code is unique to the media product; determining whether the first code is authorized; if the first code is authorized, identifying an encryption key for the media product based on the second code, and transmitting the encryption key to the second source, the encryption key enables access to content of the media product.

Abstract: A content authorization service is described, including receiving, from a first source, information comprises a key for accessing content recorded on a disc; storing the key, a pre-recorded media serial number (PMSN), and a product serial number (PSN); receiving, from a second source, another PSN, the another PSN; determining that the PSN and the another PSN is a same code; recording data that indicates the disc is authenticated if the PSN and the another PSN is the same code; receiving, from a third source, at least one of the PSN and the PMSN; determining that the at least one of the PSN and the PMSN identifies the disc; and if the at least one of the PSN and the PMSN identifies the disc, transmitting the key to the third source, the key enables access to the content recorded on the disc.
