freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF files

[Mac2492]

Thanks for creating freeme2. We really appreciate it. =)

Hi I'm having a little trouble with drmdbg. I run drmdbg.exe (tried 2008.01.01 and 2007.12.25) point the WMVDIR to where my media is and leave DRMDIR on the default folder & I keep ticked MAKE DRM2 DIR and SubDirScan. When I hit multiscan, all it does it open the video in WMP and play. Am I supposed to let the video play all the way through or what? No files/folders are created containing the decrypted keys, where am i going wrong?

If I try using FreeMe2 without finding the key from drmdbg is says:

"Enter IBX Private key or hit enter
*Enter*
Decrypted content key is to big!
Enter SID for this file:"

How can I find the SID?

Cheers

It seems like it was perfectly described in the following thread:
HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Player)

You need to extract the keys with drmdbg. Then you can copy the SID from the drmdbg or rename the drm2-i.key file to drm2.key and copy to the FreeMe2 folder. This has also been described in the above mentioned thread.

I haven't downloaded the version from the thread because sharebee.com is down for me but I am running the latest of each I believe.
I seem to be having the same problem as this guy:
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/sho...39&postcount=8

except my path is

[IndivBoxKey]
path=C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\Cache\Indiv02.key

the top box shows up my path but hitting multiscan still doesn't get the key file to appear.

I'm running vista premium also.

edit: why does it put a space between 'in' and 'div02' on the forum?

Do you use Yahoo! Music Unlimited too?

Do you have use multiple music download/subscription services? There was a thread about inability to use lossless DRM removal software when using both Ruckus and Yahoo! Music Unlimited.

I got bit by the update also.. DRMDBG and freeme2 no longer work.. I get the memory and write errors every time.
Windows said I had to update or I couldn't access the media I wanted.
Went from Versions:
11.0.6000.7000
To
11.0.6000.6324

Backwards unless they're counting in reverse.. It placed a file named Indiv02.key in my DRM folder which is version 11.0.6000.6324 and 1151 kb...
I renamed the DRM folder and went to the Microsoft site to re-individualize my PC again and the Indiv01.key it created is version 11.0.6000.6324 as well.

Original Indiv01.key was 832kb the new one is 1151kb.

So... I'm new to all of this and I need to remove DRM protection of some files that I actually legally own. I've not been able to follow many steps here, I don't even understand how to extract the license which sounds so easy.

My key is 11.0.6000.6324

For instance, if I start drmdbg it says:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\Indiv01.key v11.0.6000.6324

Am I supposed to do something with this Indiv01.key file btw?

Then, if I click Multi Scan it only starts playing the first video and doesn't say or do anything else. It also gives me some error popups saying WriteProcesMemory_error and ReadProcessMemory_error.

Could someone please guide me through the steps, cause there seems to have been some changes since the first post in this thread, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

Best Regards,
P

The problem is that I haven't seen any version of FairUse4WM or freeme2 that support IBX 11.0.6000.6324 or 11.0.6001.7000.
