can someone please help?

You need to unpack all the files before running.

I'm having an issue extracting the SID from the encrypted files. I followed the instructions exactly but when I play the file, drmdbg.exe doesn't give me any output to the left of the clear button, just the top key and version # and the file name trying to be played. Any help would be appreciated. (I already double checked that I did follow EVERY step exactly in order, too, so I'm 99% sure it isn't that) It seems to give me a ReadProcessMemory_error in a messagebox (title: drmdbg)

Hi Johnny,

I have the same problem. I used to be able to unprotect my wmv content using V11.0.6000.7000. Some of the newer files required me to download an update which downgraded me to V11.0.6000.6324 at which point freeme2 no longer works. I thought I could still convert some of the older files, so I installed a previous version of wmp on a parallel xp desktop, but when I went to the individualization link:
http://services.wmdrm.windowsmedia.c...en/indivit.asp
It prompts me to upgrade wmp which downgrades me to V11.0.6000.6324. I cannot individualize without receiving the update. The killer seems to be hand in hand with individualization and I think we need to wait for a workaround.

Yes.........

Juts a heads up. Can anyone else confirm? It appears that even with WMP 10 installed sites like Yahoo, Raphsody, Vongo, and others etc are forcing a DRM update. This drm key 11.0.6000.6324, is downloaded even if you had 11.6000.7000.

Backwards in't it?

WORSE this new IBX is totally backwards compatible with all WMP versions. So if you try to individualize a WMP version 11.5xxx you still end up with IBX version 11.0.6000.6324. NOW EVEN WMP 10 will individualize to 11.0.6000.6324!!!!!!!!!!

BUT, even if I uninstall everything, reinstall and have an version 11.5xxx key, I can UN-DRM for a couple of days. THAT IS THE REAL INTERESTING PART. The new update CLEARLY IS A FIX. So the old keys work for a while, but then the no matter what you do the drm update is required. Although, it LOOKS like an older version - 11.0.6000.6324 - it clearly is a patch from Microsoft that makes you think you have the old drm...

With this new 'old" key no UN-DRM will ever work....Some people are beginning to wake up, but boy, do we need tocatch up....I wish I knew some programming....

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOULSY...No BS I have been spedning hours on this till I realized what was going on. You can roll back you IBX, but then you will have to stop dowloading any more music cause your music provider will "udpate" your IBX to 11.0.6000.6324. No matter what you had before this is the latest IBX version!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot remove DRM protection from any of the wmv files i have with this tool...or..maybe i've gone wrong in the procedure....please help me.. I dont know to use command line console..

So I've been trying to un-DRM some WMV files I got at school, needed the SID for freeme2 so I found drmdbg, but I'm getting the "ReadProcessMemory_error". To be specific, I'm getting it the first time I run the program (or after I change the ini file), and then every time I click "Multi Scan" it opens WM11 and closes it. I'm using the 12/25/07 version but my IBX (I individualized yesterday) is the 6000.6324. Is that why I'm getting errors?

Problem is I can't get the licenses for the files anymore, so I'm wary of doing what consultant says in case I lose the licenses (right now the files all play fine). Is there a different way to get back IBX 6000.7000, can I backup my licenses (so I can downgrade but not lose the movies), or will there be an upgrade that handles the new IBX soon? Any help would really be appreciated!

EDIT: Also, I've never gotten any DRM2 keys or folders so far.

IBX 6000.6324 is not supported by current generation of lossless DRM removal software

You can't backup your licenses. They are different for different versions of IBX.

If you can't get your licenses (have you really asked your content provider about it?), then you can use lossy DRM removal software or wait for updates of lossless tools.

Sectroyer, did you see my posts? Do you know how I can solve the issue of Zune reinstalling IBX 11.0.6000.6324? Everything works fine except for that last step, when I go to reaquire my licenses for my protected files, by playing them in Zune, it bumps it back to IBX 11.0.6000.6324, which renders the tools (fairuse4wm and freeme2) useless. Thanks for any insights.

Hmmm. I think you should stop using zune. Or you could try using zune under Linux/MacOSX. Besides iPhone/iPod is much better choice
