Explicit Authorization and Inclusion Lists
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
Licenses can contain an inclusion list to explicitly authorize the exporting of content protected by Windows Media DRM to other content protection schemes (CPS). As per the terms of the license agreement you enter into with Microsoft to enable DRM Export you can export only to a valid CPS that is identified in the inclusion list of a license.
An inclusion list is a bounded array of globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) that each represents a specific authorized CPS to which the content can be exported. The GUIDs listed in an inclusion list are independent of the output protection levels (OPL) and content protection levels (CPL). Enforcing these restrictions is the responsibility of your application.
Note
When performing Windows Media DRM Export on compressed content, you access the inclusion list through the IWMDRMLicense::GetInclusionList method. When performing Windows Media DRM Export on uncompressed content, use the IWMDRMReader3::GetInclusionList method.
To register a new content protection system as a Windows Media DRM Permitted Export in the Windows Media DRM export compliance rules, please contact wmla@microsoft.com.
