Claim:
A method for facilitating deployment of aggregated protectable content in an environment comprising: receiving, by a license authority device, a registration request message including at least a content ID, a license profile, and an owner ID from a content owner device; accessing, by the license authority device, the content ID, the license profile, and the owner ID from the received registration message; identifying, by the license authority device, an algorithm type used in forming the content ID; computing, by the license authority device, a license identifier of an aggregated protectable content based on the content ID, the license profile, the owner ID, and the algorithm type; storing, by the license authority device, the identified algorithm type, the computed license identifier, the content ID, the license profile, and the owner ID in one or more repositories; transmitting, by the license authority device, the computed license identifier to the content owner device; receiving, by the license authority device, a request message comprising a second license identifier from a content user device; retrieving, by the license authority device, the computed license identifier from the one or more repositories; comparing, by the license authority device, the second license identifier with the retrieved computed license identifier; and providing, by the license authority device, an authenticity information of the second license identifier to the content user device based on the step of comparing.
