If you know the SID FreeMe2 will work on any platform. Just download the sources (./configure,make, etc.)

I cannot understand this complicated procedure at all!!

I have been lurking here for 4-5 years (since 2006/2007) and I am still at wits end as to how to remove the DRM for this one .wmv file I have had forever.

These instructions are so complicated and I consider myself fairly technically savvy.

I used to be on XP, now I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.

Can someone please point me to easier step-by-step instructions or better yet an easier method to do this??

Many thanks in advance

FairUse4WM works in Windows XP:

HI Folks,
I've got windows 7 starter and trying to downgrade the IBX or Mplayer is not possible (yet). however you can use vmplayer to run xp as a virtual machine and then use FairUse4WM or freeme2.

Problem is you need a retail copy of XP - you can get a free one from MS but only if you upgrade to win 7 professional (more money!).
However you can run windows ME / 98 under vmplayer (and these are pretty much free) : problem "fairuse" dosen't work under ME/Win98 - although wmp9 and DRM does. If I had a "command line" DRM cracker like free2me AND drmdbg I would be OK - any one got a drmdbg command line version that works with wmp9?

I have a machine with XP on, but I can't get drmgdbg to produce licence files (IBX 11.0.5497.6285 on WMP10), the app starts media player but nothing is produced.

Any Idears?

I will beat DRM on win 7, this is my mantra!


Sid

Well, in case your wondering, I have decided to answer my own post (since no one else will).
To use FairUse4WM on win7, your best bet is to use VMwareplayer (it's free),then install a version of xp on it.

Microsoft are giving away xp sp3 professional for windows 7 users (if you search around even those on "win7 starter" can use it).
(see also "how to activate windows xp without a genuine...." if you need to).
Then add wmp10 and fairuse etc. I can confirm this works just great.
Windows 98/me etc is a none started go straight for xp.

I did try install wmp11 directly on win7 - but this proved problematic!

Also, if like me your really interested in bbc iplayer stuff - get_iplayer is back up and running thanks to the lynx people

Cheers,

Sidney.

Hi guys,
Can we still do this ?
I heard freeme or FairUse4WM don't work on the DRM version 2 key
They did work with DRM v1.

Finally I can successfully use FreeMe2 to get my work done.
But i want to know if i can specify the output folder for FreeMe2?
e.g. output to external hard drive, instead of the same folder, after draged the file to FreeMe2.exe

How did it work out? Did you manage to roll back the IBX?

Is there anything we can do to change IBX? I use Xp virtual machine. With WMP 9 it doesn't individualize or get licences but with any version of WMP 10 and 11 I get IBX v 11.0.6001.8015
Is it possible to use one's Windows backup to enjoy previous versions of IBX?
