A system and method for awarding incentive points utilizing unique disc identification to provide access to disc storage media includes a disc storage medium (110) with a permanently recorded disc identification (230), a user console (115) with a set identification (120), a network (125), and a host server (130) managing a user database (135) and a disc database (140). Upon purchase of software stored on a disc storage medium (110), the unique disc identification (230) and user identification are transmitted over the network (125) from the user console (115) to the host server (130). Permission to access the programs residing on the disc storage medium (110) by the user console (115) is obtained from the host server (130). The host server (130) manages a point system. Points are awarded and recorded in point accounts stored in the databases. |
