Time restricted downloadable product

Hi

I'm new to Zen Cart, but slowly getting to grips with it. What I want to be able to do is sell downloadable content and streaming video tutorials. The content and video will be stored on password protected web pages.

On successful completion of a purchase is it possible to trigger my own PHP code, which would use the customer's details to generate a unique password and email it to them? The password will only be valid for a limited time.

Is this possible? Has anyone already done anything similar to this with Zen Cart? I've bought software online before and the store worked in a similar way. Just not sure if Zen Cart can do that or not.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Zen Cart provides links to downloadable products only after payment has been received. The download links are accessible only from the customer's logged-in user profile, and the links expire after an admin-selectable time period and/or number of times downloaded by that customer.
There is not a built-in password generation functionality, although there are ways of writing custom code to accommodate that if that's really required in addition to the controlled access already provided.
