Geographic Restrictions for Downloading Packages Now in Production

Currently, ESD download packages can be edited to restrict access to certain accounts. Starting in this release, producers can now restrict access to packages for file downloads to certain countries, and optionally to regions in those countries.

The Restrict Download Package page (accessed from the View Download Package page in the Producer Portal) enables producers to add countries or specific regions in countries to which the download package will be available. In the End-User Portal, only users in those accounts assigned to these geographic locations will see the download package, even if the accounts are otherwise entitled to the download.

Note the following about geographic restrictions:

•

The geographic restrictions are in addition to the existing Grant or Deny Account Access restrictions available on the Restrict Download Package page. Accounts must meet both sets of restrictions in order to access the download package.

•

If you set up geographical restrictions and sell through Channel Partners, you must include a Channel Partner's country and region in the geographical restriction list of countries and regions for a download package.

•

Geographic restrictions do not apply to containerized applications.
