How to restore licenses Playready DRM for TV recorded after a hardware upgrade?

See the thread that I started:
http://www.thegreenbutton.TV/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1109

At the end of this thread for my question about what breaks the Playready DRM, I stated here:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/891664

If there is an updated version of this KB article applicable to Windows 7 with Windows Media Player 12, then a pointer to such an article would probably prevent the need to respond to everything that follows.  For now, I guess there is no update instructions for restoring licenses.

In time, I was reassured by Microsoft KB article that I could upgrade my HTPC hardware without losing the ability to play shows I had already recorded.

I don't think much more on this subject until recently, when I decided that the time had come to make an upgrade.  So I went back to the article to see exactly what I had to do in preparation for the upgrade.  The first thing he says for me to do is to back up my licenses.  However, I am running Windows Media Player version 12 (which is what came with my Windows7 Home Premium), and it doesn't seem to provide a mechanism to back up the licenses.  This means that no such possibility of license-recovery-after-upgrade is available for me?   Or are there other mechanisms to back up my licenses?

Even if there is another way to back up the licenses, I see that restore them after the upgrade still requires a feature that my version of Windows Media Player does not.  Then I also need access to an alternative mechanism of restoration.  Is this one?

Looking around Windows Media Center, I can't find anything about the license management here either.

Considering the article like a Kipper full in Windows 7, my ultimate real question is that in the header for this post.

TV record types we are talking about here have copy - once protection and are recording using Windows Media Center has a CableCARD tuner.  I have a lot of them that I am not prepared to remove spied.

Hi DavidVanserschel,

You may be able to manually reset DRM licenses. Take a look at the steps in this thread.

    My question is quite simple as shown above in the title:

    How to restore a side scrolling for USB Microsoft Comfort Mouse 6000?

    I'm running Windows 7 x 64 professional, and everything went well & smooth (my 16 GB of RAM much help on that) until

    a few days ago when I noticed - after some windows recent updates there is no icon scrollbars appearing when you click the mouse wheel and therefore there is no scroll option in one of the browsers, I use Mozilla or Google Chrome or IE.

    Everything in trying to solve this nuisance, I must say I did a lot of web research.

    I also read and tried all your technicians where suggesting that solutions in the articles:

    PS side that neither on the side of scroll my mouse goes really well (where the mouse has not suffered any material damage or other concerns)

    Small update

    Today I take back my previous Microsoft Intellimouse Optical Usb and that works like a charm, including a scrolling sideways feature smooth

    I must say 2 things:

    1. I replaced it because I wanted a mouse blue laser instead of the red light of the IntelliMouse laser to adapt to the blue of the Razer Lycosa keyboard and now I regret it because vousLe mousey is in possession of someone else family: p

    2. I have test the mouse USB of Comfort 6000 on another PC-work on Windows XP and also not on the side scrolling is so clearly hardware failure of the intermediate wheel after a few less than 7 months

    I'm starting to consider that this 6000 comfort USB mouse (which is not one of the cheapest) was a bad choice because it lasted not more than 7 months, despite a decent use and friendly of TI - i don't play shooters or those games that are material mouse pointing.

    In conclusion: he certainly wanted to consider other mice light blue other businesses that might last longer

    so:

  • Any idea on how to implement the discussions threaded for physical record in URM.

    I have a requirement of implementation of the functionality of dicussion threaded for physical records in URM. It is currently only available for electronic records only.

    Thank you

    Vanina

    We finally reached by taking the output of the component box discussion threads and rename all the services, change some db queries (since all the material metadata element are present in different tables) and also by the way dSource = physical parameter so that the system makes a distinction between electronic and physical records. Also I am not suggesting to ovveride resources of the existing component rather get all resource definitions in your new device. This will eliminate the dependence between two components, and each will work independently.

    Try this:

    Make a new file

    Save as and Ctrl, click on the PNG format

    Be another file and use Ctrl s.  The Save dialog box opens and the format will always be PNG

    Use Save as, and Ctrl-click on PDF

  • How to restore the shortcut menu for my XP desktop icons?

    After an attempt to reinstall IE8 (uninstall older versions), the context menu for each icon on the desktop no longer appears as it has already done. The list is totally different. How do I restore the menus?

    To all: this issue is now resolved.

    The culprit was a directory of IE8 has crashed. It seems that under xp, a lot of files and settings are common to IE8 and other applications (Outlook Express, and help & Support print, etc.), they were all affected. Manually, I deleted the directory ie8 (2) duplicate and cleaned the ie8 entries (2) invalid in the registry. Then I downloaded IE8 anew and reinstalled. After the reboot, all my problems have been fixed. The right click menu office was restored, as well as the OE print functions.

  • How long the license key latest for Windows Vista

    The other day a person allegedly from Microsoft phoned to tell me that my activation license has expired and that my computer has been damaged by a virus that kept sending error messages. As my license has expired, they were not able to fix the problem and I had to pay £70.00 to renew and to help more of them, otherwise my PC was getting more slower and slower all day. I hung up. But it got me thinking, it was a spam?

    All the Licenses for Windows retail (including upgrades) are transferable to the new machines (in the case of an upgrade it will still a qualifications base on the new machine license) and are actually eternal - at least until there is no material more around which it will run.

    OEM licenses are locked to the first machine on which they are turned on - but finally done as the motherboard (and the replacements of vices).

  • How to restore the default permissions (for example, the users folder) in windows 7?

    Dear windows users,

    Recently, I messed up the permissions of the files. What happened is that I took my laptop hard drive (win 7 64 bit system) in a USB external hard drive case. Then I get the USB into another windows office 7. I went through the users (perhaps of other files) folder in the hard disk of laptop on the desktop via a USB connection. It is very likely that the Office has changed the permissions of the files.
    I put the hard drive to my laptop, but some applications gives error like access denied messages.
    Is there a safe way to fix them? How to reset the default permissions?
    Thank you.
    BTW, have you worked with permissions of folders? Do you know what happens if permission to c:\users is messed up?

    When permissions in a subfolder in the users folder are confused so the user will not be able to run some programs, to create, modify or delete some files. The folder property affected, followed by assigning appropriate permissions, is usually sufficient to solve the problem.

  • How to restore a previous session to a record of old data of Firefox?

    There was a power outage today while I was start of Firefox and the computer shut down instantly. Later, when I tried to open Firefox again, he started glitching, with the option to restore Session only resulting in empty tabs. I refreshed Firefox and now I have an "Old Firefox Data" folder.

    I have a folder of sessionrestore-backups in this folder, a file 'previous.js '. How to use this file (or other folder) to access my lost session? It is possible at all?

    Thanks for any help.

    You can find these files in the sessionstore-backup folder:

    previous.js (cleanBackup: copy of sessionstore.js from previous session that was loaded successfully)
    recovery.js (latest version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
    recovery.bak (previous version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
    upgrade.js-<build_id> (backup created during an upgrade of Firefox)
    

    You can copy a file in the sessionstore-backup folder to the main profile and rename sessionstore.js file to replace the current file (make a backup of the current sessionstore.js).
