Thank you for the response.

Beware of maintenance. In order to re-enable access, you would need to deliver a new set of files. This may not work for your client, as I know with some LMS, this can mean having to create a new offering on the system. You don't get the same continuity you do from system controlled access. Also, from system controlled access, you do not have to distribute the actual content. You get to host it, which is really good for version control and agile maintenance.
