Why need a license to play my downloaded cd.s?

My lap top was repaired earlier, and since his summer in return I can, t play my music without a 'license' it's never happened before he went to fix everything we know how I can put this right please.

Not knowing where you have your music "uploaded", I'm assuming it was one of the normal places that people will buy the downloadable music - such as iTunes, Amazon.com, etc..  These music sources generally use a form of digital rights management, so that the music is not playable by the buyer.  Reformatting / re - install Windows on a computer can delete files of licenses and make the 'foreign' computer for the music player which then issues a warning as your license "necessary".   So in a case like this, you would need to check out iTunes, Amazon.com, etc., to restore your license.

  • Just installed update for Windows Media Player 11 and now, all the songs I had in my library before the update, I get the message you need a license to play these songs.

    These songs have been copied to my computer from the CD that I bought at retail, and have played several times.  Is there a process where they can be reinstated? I don't know if it's the right word, but I hate having to download individual licenses for these songs. And why doesn't IE throw me on the internet as soon as the download license screen happens?  Do I have to uninstall the update?

    I am experiencing this when I try to use Windows Media Player (so recent, but not easy to find the version number) to play a .wma file that I've transferred from vinyl years ago.  My browser isn't FireFox, Netscape.

    I drag the file from Windows Explorer to the playlist in Windows Media Player, and a Web page comes up (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/pdrm/en/welcome.asp?challenge=AAEAATMvJkIGMMWfrmgMxKUeJkQMlzddByxvhfASAwJeI7q50r * BSeNHGXSEmuEa3z9B8i4S!)

Bebc75l2lX3gVmq5Na & DRMVer = 1. "& embedded = false).  The page says:

    -------------------------------------

    A license is required to play this file

    The file you are trying to play was ripped (copied) from an audio CD.

    During the extraction process, the file was "protected". This limits the number of computers on which the file can be read.

    To read the file on this computer, you must download a license (a process called "license migration"). A license is an electronic key that allows to "unlock" a protected file and read it.

    To download a license for this file, click download the license .

    [Button: download license]

    .. then by some Notes.

    -------------------------------------

    When I click on the button, I get a dialog box saying «Netscape browser no not the Microsoft windows media services plug-ins to allow the download of license to play music»

    .. who's actually a dead-end.  I tried the FireFox plug-ins, but it was a waste of time.

    It's annoying, because my vinyl transfer was fair use of album, and my time is precious to me.

    -Eric

    SOLUTION: Is annoying, but switch to Internet Explorer as default browser and go through the procedure described above.  When I did, he received the license, which enabled Windows Media Player play all .wma files in the directory.  (It could be worse - the software could have go me through the process for each file separately.) Other players are still unable to read the files and it's still a nuisance.

    I have LimeWire. I downloaded several movies and can't watch them. When I try, it automatically showed the windows media player, and then displays a message saying "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. "I looked for updates, perhaps thinking that I needed one, he says: there is no availiavle. I use the latest version of windows media player. any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It's really a simple question, easy to fix. But if you are really not that familiar with the computer, you may want to ask a friend who knows enough to help you.

    You can show it to your friend...
    What you need is to 'google' for a FREE video converter.
    Use the converter and changge movies in WMV file formats. (Sticking with the formats WMV, nothing else).
    Once the conversion is complete, you can play these movies in your Media Player.

    However, there is another alternative. Install a 3rd party media player called VLC. He plays any video fromats.

    • Need the sound to play on imported into the second swf with loadMovie swf

      I have a movie of parent with a couple of movieclips placeholder in this regard. I use the loadMovie to load 2 separate swf on the spaces reserved for execution:

      a swf contains the sound, which I initialize it using the following:

      sounds = new Object();
      sounds.reelSpin1L = new Sound();
      sounds.reelSpin1L.attachSound ("reelSpin1L.wav");

      now, I also wrote a function inside this same swf, which I want to call from a second swf file, which reads:
      function playReelSpin() {}
      sounds.reelSpin1L.start (0, 99);
      trace ("play music ReelSpin!");
      }
      trace ("the sound played");


      Now when I call the function from the other swf when running, I see the trace on the output window message, but I don't hear the sound!

      The weird part is, when I run the first swf that I've initialized the sound and call the function, it works very well.

      In conclusion, so I need to know why the sound won't play on a swf that was loaded into another swf when running.

      I appreciate any help you can provide.

      Hello:

      If you do not know the product key on the bottom of the laptop, then you will need media recovery purchase that normally only requires a product key to work, or you will need to buy a new operating system.

      HP and Microsoft will provide a replacement product key.
