Abstract
Disclosed is a computerized method, non-transitory machine-readable medium and computer system for ensuring that critical information, such as that allowing an ecommerce customer to activate purchased downloadable software, can be retrieved even if issues occur in the primary distribution center. The method receives a call for data (e.g. key) at a first endpoint associated with a first distribution center, determining that the call for the data cannot be fulfilled at the first endpoint, and shifting the call for the data to a second endpoint associated with a second distribution center. The computer system comprises a first and second distribution center system, including modules for: fulfilling a call for data, or key; determining if a call cannot be fulfilled, determining a plurality of error indications; and redirecting calls originally directed to one of a first computer or a second computer to the other of the first computer and the second computer.
