DRM solutions typically include all the following functions EXCEPT:

Digital Rights Management (DRM) solutions are designed to protect digital content and manage how it can be used, shared, and distributed. Among the core functions of DRM are automatic expiration, dynamic policy control, and persistency.

Automatic expiration is a key feature that allows DRM systems to set a defined time limit on when content can be accessed, ensuring that users can only access assets within specified periods. Dynamic policy control refers to the ability to adjust access permissions in real-time based on various criteria, enhancing flexibility and security according to the usage context. Persistency ensures that content protection remains in place as the content is transferred or stored, maintaining the original rights and restrictions regardless of where the content resides.

While some advanced security solutions may incorporate features akin to automatic self-destruct, this is not a standard function of DRM. The intent of DRM is typically to manage and control the use of digital content rather than to eliminate the content entirely. Hence, the absence of automatic self-destruct as a core function differentiates it from other DRM capabilities.
