No. Silverlight 2 will only decrypt content with licenses issued by the PlayReady Server SDK. To maximize performance – both over the network, and in terms of minimizing the size and complexity of the plug-in itself, Silverlight DRM only has support for processing the new PlayReady license format, a more compact than WMDRM license format. A consequence of this is that a PlayReady license server is needed to deliver all licenses to the Silverlight 2 plug-in.
