Broken Link | Cannot Download ZIP or Digitally Delivered Products
Once the customer’s order is completed, a link to the zip file may be generated to send to other users via email. This link is typically very long and may be broken if it is wrapped to fit the window. If this is the case, the following error will be received: “You are not authorized to view this page”. If the link is unbroken, as in the example below, follow the Working Link instructions:

Sometimes this will be wrapped due to the size of the window and may look like this:
https://www.idautomation.com/cart/Members/Download.ashx?id=1234
56789012
If so, follow the Broken Link instructions.
