ACCESS STATUS OF SECURE FILES

The access status represents the state (e.g., granted) of the secure content. This status is visible under the file name as follows:

Access Granted. You have gained access to view this file due to a related file to which you have access or due to a project you may be working on.
Request Required. This file requires a secure access rights request.

Access Pending. This file has been sent for approval. Thanks for your interest.
Access Declined. If you think this has been declined in error, request access rights.

Request Granted. You have gained secure access rights to this file due to a request you made.

Important: Files with the “Request Required” status need additional justification for NXP approval.
Important: Files with the “Personalization Pending” status must be personalized before you can download them. You will receive an email when the file is ready to download. This process can take up to 24 hours before it becomes available.

PREVIOUS REVISIONS

You can access previous revisions of a file by going to My NXP Account > Secure Files and selecting a file or by navigating to a product page and finding “Secure Files” under Documentation and Design Resources. Shown below is an example of what to expect when accessing previous revisions of a file.
Note: Previous revisions will be displayed only if you previously downloaded them. If you need access to an old version of a document, please contact support for availability.

CERTIFICATES FOR SECURE FILES

Manage Certificate(s)
Note: The following is only applicable if you have received an NXP Secure Access Rights certificate before. When you gain access to a secure file, a certificate provided decrypts files for viewing when downloaded. You will receive an email which contains a certificate file which you will need to download and install. To install certificates, a password is needed (see section 6.2 for further explanation).
If you lose or delete this certificate, you may request a new certificate. In the case that your certificate is expired, you may also request a new certificate that will be generated and sent via email. In this case, files that were encrypted with a prior certificate cannot be decrypted with this new certificate. To retain access to the secure files, please keep your previous certificate installed.
