    Say I have 3 subscriptions:

    - 1st has to protect folder /demo1
    - 2nd has to protect folder /demo1 + /demo2
    - 3rd has to protect folder /demo2 + /demo3

    How do you put this in the add product and how is .htaccess and .htgroup updated accordingly ?

    Thanks

    It is good question.

    You create 3 products from aMember CP :
    Product1 : URL = /demo1/
    Product2 : URL = /demo2/
    Product3 : URL = /demo3/

    You must add links to files:
    to file /demo2/index.html -> add link to /demo1/
    to file /demo3/index.html -> add link to /demo2/

    Then, you add(edit) the following lines to .htaccess files:
    to file /demo1/.htaccess -> Require group PRODUCT_1 PRODUCT_2
    to file /demo2/.htaccess -> Require group PRODUCT_2 PRODUCT_3
    to file /demo3/.htaccess -> Require group PRODUCT_3

    .htpasswd file contains list of all active members (having completed and not-expired subscriptions) and their passwords.
    .htgroup file contains list in the following form:
    PRODUCT_1: login1 login2 login3
    PRODUCT_2: login2 login5 login8
    PRODUCT_3: login4 login1 login11
    it contains a separate line for every product, followed by list of usernames which have active subscription to the product.
