More information on Download Package Availability attribute
In Producer Portal, the attribute Download Package Availability is determined by the Effective Date defined for the download package.
- If the effective date is within the current date, for example, today's date and any date in the past, then the download package is available. This setting can be used for any current versions of the Product that the customer want their end users to download.
- If the effective date is in the future, for example, tomorrow, or next month (in PDT), then the download package is not "yet" available. This setting can be used for any future versions of a Product (that are not yet released or made available for end users)
Once this date passes, the download package will become available.
- If the expiration date is in the past, then the download package is Archived. This is for previous versions of a Product. This setting can be used to archive previous versions of the Product.
Users can still access all these download packages in the Producer Portal and view the files associated with the download packages.
The attribute is more to determine what will be displayed in the end user portal, if each of these different download packages have a valid entitlement.
