Abstract
A method and apparatus for activating protected content on a portable memory device when the portable memory device is incorporated into a mobile terminal during the manufacture of the mobile terminal. During manufacturing, the portable memory device is coupled to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal is powered on. An activation program resident on the mobile terminal is executed upon power on of the mobile terminal. The activation program imports a secure rights database of rights files from the portable memory device, activates an active rights database resident on the mobile terminal based on the imported secure rights database, and disables the secure rights database on the portable memory device to prevent subsequent unauthorized use of the portable memory device.
