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.

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)

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!
