Abstract

A client device (200) downloads an interactive multimedia content package (20), such as a video game, from a server (100) across a network (30). The package includes executable code (2) and a plurality of graphical asset files (22). A wrapper component (40) is provided in the package (20), which provides an intermediate layer between the executable code and a runtime environment (203) of the client device (200). The wrapper component (40) restricts functionality of the interactive multimedia content package (20) to provide a demonstration mode, in particular having time limitations (e.g. a rental mode) or functional limitations regarding the assets (22) and/or progress within the content by the executable code (21). The wrapper component (40) may be removed or inactivated, thereby achieving a full or unlimited mode of the package (20).
