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

[Johnny]

Sorry, my mistake! The provider requires the v11.0.6000.6324!
But this version comes to system as soon as I delete the DRM folder in WinXP and click: http://services.wmdrm.windowsmedia.c...en/indivit.asp .
I am not sure if this is the providers blame or just a renewal of Microsoft?
As I said, an older version for drmdbg does not the job. What's wrong?

Johnny,

Clicking on the aformentioned link should install the 11.x.7000 IBX version... Rename the DRM folder "DRMOld" or something, don't delete it. Go back to the indivit site again and click on Upgrade. Restart your computer and check the DRM folder again. If it is still the older version, it could be your XP version is not fully updated; I'm just spit balling on that one.

As far as the provider is concerned, the IBX version may be a minimum requirement. Again, it makes no sense that the older version is the only one with which their movie will work. Which provider is it?

Your issue intrigues me, and I'd like to find a fix for it...

carlos1014,

I did all the steps you advised me. But DRM stays v11.0.6000.6324! This might not be an issue of the wmv-provider but rather of Microsoft. A friend of mine using Vista 64bit has the same version now. All possible updates were installed, too.
Please also try this update! Delete/Rename your DRM folder and reinstall it.

Johnny,

I'm sorry the new version is not installing. Unless someone in this forum knows how to fix it, it sounds like something in your registry is not quite right. The InvivBox.key file, after all, is a registry file...

I tried going on Microsoft's website, but that did not get me anywhere. Try googling for the problem. I'll do the same and get back to you if I find something useful.

Found an interesting bit of info... What version Media Player are you running again?

[Johnny]

My WMP is version 11.0.5721.5230. The WMP of my Vista-friend is something like 7000 in the end. We live in Germany. Maybe the version differs from yours.
One month ago, the DRM was the right version. But now WMP updates (down) with this link to the ...6324 even without playing any wmv-file.
Did you try this update link, too? Do you get the right DRM?

[carlos1014]

I have the same WMP version as you, however, I have the new DRM version... This is very odd... The info I found stated the DRM version was tied to the WMP version... It would follow that since you have the latest WMP that you should have the latest DRM...

I wish I could give you my Indivbox file and put an end to this, but alas it would not work... It could be that you don't have media that requires the new version. When was the last time you purchased media?

[Johnny]

This month was the last time.
Could you rename your DRM folder, update your DRM and upload this new folder somewhere? I hope you have WinXP Prof.? Maybe WMP will accept this replaced folder and thats it.

Thank you.

PS: Other members in this forum reported the same problem. So your upload could help, but does not solve the problem directly.

Uploading DRM folder won't help. Each system is individialized i.e. is made unique.

I have a DRM Protected file.

I have Windows XP Professionnal with the Version V11.0.6000.7000

I downloaded drmdbg 2007/12/25 and put my Wmv file in the drgdbg file, I validate the licence

Not problem with it : v11.0.6000.7000 was displayed in the box beside "Multiscan"
I pressed : MutiScan and got :

<DRM2WMV2>
<KID>Au2CnAesm7t9AMHSimzhvA==</KID>
<SID>QomJYKJSHREjYELM2We5DhJWXGs=</SID>
<INFO></INFO>
</DRM2WMV2>

the DRM2.key also appears in the directory


I downloaded FreeMe2 and put it in the same file and it gave me this message :

Usage: FreeM2 [-vs2] protectedfile
Press <ENTER> to acknoledge error

What should I do next ?

Many thanks in advance for your help
