I already have some content on my Vista PC that has DRM.
I have the licences for the files (don't know where it is kept, could you tell me where it is).
I wanted to know if it was possible to copy the files and licences onto an XP PC and remove the DRM.
THANK YOU

If you obtained the file from an online store, contact the store to find out if it offers media usage rights (license) restoration (some stores refer to this procedure as computer activation, computer authorization, or license synchronization).

The procedure for restoring your rights varies from store to store. For example, you might be able to right-click the file in your library or click an Error button or an Information button next to the file, and then click a command. Or you might be required to delete the file from your computer and then download the file again.

The store might limit the number of times that you can restore your rights or limit the number of computers on which you can use the songs or videos that you obtain from them. Some stores do not permit you to restore media usage rights at all.

For details, see the store's customer support or Help links.
