How do I protect digital media files with Windows Media DRM so they can be played by older Windows Media Players, such as Windows Media Player 6.4? What are the drawbacks, if any?
You can package the digital media files using Windows Media Rights Manager 10.1, the newly-released packager and license server. For Windows Media Player 6.4, you need to put a separate URL for version 1 license acquisition in the header. Windows Media Player 6.4 can use this URL to acquire a version 1 license for the content or this URL can point the user to an “upgrade Windows Media Player” page. The version 1 license has limited business model functionalities and lower security than later version licenses that are available to newer Windows Media Players. Windows Media Rights Manager 10.1 can issue all license versions.
