I have a WMV file which is DRM proectected but have no valid key for the file for reasons outside my control.
Is there a way in which I can find the SID or KID of the DRM in the file, without having a valid license key ?
Afaik all of the DRM software removal tools rely upon having a valid license key but none search for a SID/KID. Then I came across drm2wmv_e.exe which suggests that it can try to find the SID (without license key) and tried this but it reports
drm2wmv_e.exe -v "file.wmv"
DRM(Ver1&2) Conversion tool Ver 1.241 by taku
DRMv1 header object found
DRMv1 KID (nLgJ/QccjlycsBs/EqUgkw==)
DRMv2 header object found
DRMv2 KID (nLgJ/QccjlycsBs/EqUgkw==)
Searching key
No keyfiles with this KID
Error. Press <ENTER> to exit.
Is there anything further that I can do to find out the SID/KID so that I can feed this into FreeMe2 (http://undrm.info/remove-DRM-protection/freeme2-freeware-lossless-DRM-remover-for-Windows-Media-WMV-WMA-files.htm).exe and ultimately watch this file ?
