A method, system and software for securely rendering digital documents, including storing a digital document in a document platform; and storing a usage right associated with the digital document. The usage right specifies a manner of use indicating the manner in which the digital document can be rendered by the document platform. The digital document comprises plural parts of digital content. The usage right includes plural usage rights respectively associated with each of the plural parts of digital content. Whether one of the parts of the digital document may be rendered by the document platform is determined based a respective usage right. If the respective usage right allows the digital document to be rendered on the document platform, the corresponding part of the digital document is rendered by the document platform.

A method of claim 1, wherein the manner of use includes the number of times the digital document is allowed to be rendered. 3. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the step of storing comprises storing at least one usage right specification on the document platform. 4. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the step of storing comprises storing at least one usage right specification on a device separate from the document platform. 5. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the determining step comprises enforcing terms of a usage agreement defined by the at least one usage right specification. 6. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the at least one usage right specification specifies a type of use of the digital document. 7. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one part of the content and at least one usage right specification are included in different files. 8. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one part of the content and at least one usage right specification are stored in the same file. 9. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the digital content is a software program. 10. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one usage right specification comprises a revenue identifier for identifying a revenue owner of the digital content. 11. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one usage right specification also specifies one or more conditions which must be satisfied before the manner of rendering is exercised. 12. A method as recited in claim 11, wherein at least one condition includes determining the presence of a digital ticket. 13.

A method as recited in claim 18, wherein the step of storing comprises storing at least one usage right specification in the document repository. 20. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein the step of storing comprises storing at least one usage right specification in a device separate from the document repository. 21. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein the at least on usage right specification specifies a type of use of the digital document and a quantity of use of the digital document. 22. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein at least one part of the content and at least one usage right specification are included in different files. 23. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein at least one part of the content and at least one usage right specification are stored in the same file. 24. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein at least a portion of the digital content is a software program. 25. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein at least one usage right specification comprises a revenue identifier for identifying a revenue owner of the digital content. 26. The method as recited in claim 18, wherein at least one usage right specification also specifies one or more conditions which must be satisfied before the manner of rendering is exercised. 27. A method as recited in claim 26, wherein at least one condition includes determining the presence of a digital ticket. 28. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein at least one of the usage rights or a part of the content are stored on a removable storage device. 29. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein at least one part of the content and at least one usage right specification are stored on the same device. 30. The method as recited in claim 18, wherein at least one of the content and at least one usage right specification are stored on different devices. 31. A method as recited in claim 18, wherein the method is implemented with a computer system including one or more hardware and/or software components. 32.
