Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for dynamically integrating two or more digital files (that may be of different types, including but not limited to executable and non-executable files). In one embodiment of the present invention, an advertisement is dynamically integrated with a digital file. More specifically, an animated advertisement file is dynamically integrated with a self-contained executable file for an animated greeting card. In another embodiment, a redeemable gift is dynamically attached to the digital file. In another aspect of the present invention, a control feature is provided to control the usage of the distributed digital file. In one embodiment, a unique code is generated and assigned to the distributed digital file. The unique code prevents the user from, for example, executing the digital file more than a predefined number of times.
