RightsTemplateCollection.Publish method

The Publish method identifies whether a template can be either published or archived.

Syntax

RightsTemplateCollection.Publish( _
  ByVal templateId, _
  ByVal isPublished _
)

Parameters

templateId [in]

A String value that contains the ID of the template being copied. The ID is a GUID assigned by the AD RMS server when the template is created. You can retrieve it by calling the Id property on the RightsTemplate object.

isPublished [in]

A Boolean value that specifies whether the template is to be published (True) or archived (False).

Return value

This method returns (True) if it succeeds and (False) if it fails.

Remarks

When a template is archived, it can be used only to issue licenses to consume content. An archived template cannot be distributed or used to publish new content. Published templates can be distributed and used to publish new content or issue licenses.
