RMGetLicense.GetDRMSecurityVersion

The GetDRMSecurityVersion method retrieves information about the DRM component running on the consumer's computer in the form a.b.c.d, where a.b is the release version, c is reserved, and d is the category.

Syntax

bstrDRMSecurityVersion = GetLicense.GetDRMSecurityVersion

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Values

This method returns a String containing a string identifying the version of the DRM component of the consumer's player. If it fails, it returns a number in the error object.

Remarks

You can use this method to determine whether a player is individualized by using client-side scripting. For example, if you determine a player is not individualized, you can trigger individualization by embedding a player in a Web page that opens a dummy file that requires individualization.

The following table lists the possible values of the a.b portion of bstrDRMSecurityVersion.

For d, the category, an even value indicates a default, non-individualized component. An odd value indicates an individualized component. For example, a default installation of Windows Media Player 10 might return a value of 2.3.0.0. An individualized version of Windows Media Player 9 Series might return 2.2.0.1.

Note   If a DRM component has been both individualized and upgraded, the security version may have a different value from the table above.
