What is individualization?
Individualization is a process that allows Windows Media Player to create the strongest possible encryption. The encryption keys generated by an individualized player are based on a unique value stored on your PC during the individualization process and will work only on your PC and no other. This provides maximum security for Weed files. Only Microsoft can access the individualization value, unless you specifically allow other 3rd parties to access it. Weed does not access this value.
Windows Media DRM individualizes the critical components of each run-time client. Individualization binds the run-time client to the computer on which the client was initially installed. Every consumer is given a different executable file and different certified license keys. This significantly reduces the danger of global breaks. If a specific DRM client becomes compromised, it can be barred from acquiring licenses for new digital media files.
