Re: Licence problems and DRM in WMP 11

Taken from the Tesco site

Quote:

To play the music you have bought, you need to 'activate' each download by retrieving its copyright licence. This is a simple process and ensures that all music downloaded from the site is strictly legal. This licence is stored on your PC for possible future reference. It is a bit like a door key - it only allows you to unlock and play the tracks that you have bought. To get the licence for your music, all you have to do is play it!




Quote:

While connected to the internet, open your music player and click on the track you wish to play. If you are not using a music player, just double click on the track name or icon and your chosen music player will launch and play the song.

If you don't have a music player, we recommend Microsoft Windows Media Player ( A ) which can be downloaded free of charge by visiting the Microsoft website.

Download Now!

You will then see a pop-up window that shows your licence is being downloaded. (In Windows Media Player an 'acquiring license' message will appear). It is at this point that you must be connected to the internet, as your PC needs to connect to our service so that we can send you the licence.

As soon as the licence has been sent to you, the track will play. Once you have played the track for the first time, you no longer need to stay connected to the internet to play the track again, or at any time in the future.

When closing down your media player, you might be asked if you want to 'back-up' licences that you have recently acquired. If asked by your media player, we recommend that you always back-up your licences, as these will be needed if you ever want to re-download content.

Now you can listen to your tracks on your PC whenever you want - or transfer them to CD or a portable music player without having to be online.

Some tracks will have a licence limitation on the number of times they can be copied on to a CD, or transferred to a portable music player. This is known as the 'rights' that you have been given with the licence for the track. Once you reach the licence limitations, you will not be able to copy or transfer that track any more.
