Unit-based licensing for offline content access

A method comprising:

• receiving offline content access information, the offline content access information indicating a customer account and a plurality of content objects;
• identifying a respective cardinality of assigned units for each content object from the plurality of content objects;
• identifying a cardinality of available units allocated to the customer account;
• determining a first subset of content objects from the plurality of content objects such that a sum of the assigned units for the content objects from the first subset of content objects is within the cardinality of the available units;
• generating an updated cardinality of available units as a difference between the cardinality of the available units and the sum of the assigned units for the content objects from the first subset of content objects;
• determining a second subset of content objects from the plurality of content objects as a difference between the plurality of content objects and the first subset of content objects;
• and
• on a condition that a sum of the assigned units for the content objects from the second subset of content objects exceeds the updated cardinality of available units, remediating, by a processor in response to instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the customer account.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a server, via an electronic communication link, an offline status message from a customer device associated with a customer account, the offline status message identifying the customer device as an offline device;
• receiving, at the server, from the customer device, a request for content;
• on a condition that the customer device is an offline device and on a condition that an electronic communication link between the server and the customer device is available, processing the request as an online content access request, wherein processing the request includes generating a response to the request for content;
• and
• transmitting the response to the customer via an electronic communication link.
