HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Player)


 
I have a request + something that might help you all rolled into one...

Download drmdbg + freeme2 (2008/01/01)
Code:
http://sharebee.com/6042e1bc
Basically, I packaged drmdbg and FreeMe2 (the latest versions of both, so drmdbg is the January 1, 2008 version) and jotted down some quick instructions on how to use them from start to finish. (It starts at individualization and ends at freeing the DRM-protected content).

P.S. As always, scan for viruses (yes, I'm asking you to scan a file that I posted for viruses). I know that I'm trustworthy, but you don't. Stay safe. =)

That's the "something that may help you". Now here's my request...

Can someone (preferably someone who hasn't even individualized his/her computer yet) please follow the instructions step-by-step and tell me if everything works out? I want to make sure that I didn't miss a step or write down a step incorrectly. I already did the first few steps a while back, so I can't verify that they are correct.

Thanks, and enjoy... At the same time. x,X

Oh, and I take credit for nothing other than the instructions. Even then, you're free to post the instructions wherever (with or without credits... I don't really mind) you want.

For those who already have drmdbg and FreeMe2...

Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg and FreeMe2:
  1. Individualize your computer at:
    http://services.wmdrm.windowsmedia.c...en/indivit.asp
  2. Open up "drmdbg.exe".
    Note: "drmdbg.ini" should be created in the "DRM Removal Kit" directory".
  3. May not be required! Do no change anything if the settings below already have paths filled in. In "drmdbg.ini", change:
    Code:
    [IndivBoxKey]
    path=
    [drmv2clt]
    path=
    (on Windows XP) INTO
    Code:
    [IndivBoxKey]
    path=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\Indiv01.key
    [drmv2clt]
    path=C:\WINDOWS\system32\drmv2clt.dll
    (on Windows Vista) INTO
    Code:
    [IndivBoxKey]
    path=C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\Cache\Indiv01.key
    [drmv2clt]
    path=C:\WINDOWS\system32\drmv2clt.dll
    Notes:
    • The path and number of the Individualization keys may vary, but these are the usual locations.
    • The files may be located on a different drive. They should be installed on your system drive by default, so replace "C" with your system drive letter.
    • Number variations will be something like "Indiv02.key", etc... Pick the highest number.
    • The keys are hidden by default... To make them visible, go to: (In Windows Explorer or Control Panel)
      "Tools (Windows Explorer Only) -> Folder Options -> View", then check "Show hidden files and folder" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".
      Once you find the key, replace the path in "drmdbg.ini" with the proper path.
  4. Restart "drmdbg.exe"
    • "[Insert Key Path Here] v11.0.6000.7000" should be displayed in the box beside "MultiScan". (With the proper key path inserted, of course)
    • A "DRM2" folder with "DRM2.key" should be created in the "DRM Removal Kit" directory.
      Note: Windows Media Player should open.
  5. Put the DRM-protected file into the "DRM Removal Kit" directory.
  6. Open up "drmdbg.exe", then press "MultiScan" after the keys are loaded.
  7. Take the necessary steps to play the media (validate the license).
  8. The keys will be displayed in the bottom box of drmdbg (beside "Clear").
    Note: The only part of the output that is required to decrypt the media is the SID...
    <SID>COPY_ALL_THIS_INCLUDING_EQUAL_SIGNS</SID>
  9. Drag the DRM-protected file onto "FreeMe2.bat", then paste its SID when asked to do so.
    Note: Right click, then click "Paste".
  10. Enjoy the DRM-free content!
Please help me find any mistakes. ^,^

The IBX file can reside in a different folder? Darn! >,<...

Also, I'm not sure about drmdbg auto-detecting the IBX files. I think it did it for one of my computers, but it didn't do it for my other one. (Copying and pasting that block of text into the ini file fixed it for me)

I'll add this information into the instructions... =)

Keeping this instruction updated on this page is a good credit for me and the community.

If you really wanna help this web-site, you can click on the "BOOKMARK" button below the posts and add this and any other web-page you like to social bookmarking services. It really helps a lot.

p.s. Please do not change the markup of your post with instruction. It is much easier to read it this way!

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
After extracting license keys with drmdbg, you get the drm2-i.key file. If you rename it to drm2.key and copy to the FreeMe2 folder, you don't really need to copy SID and paste it.

FreeMe2 has automation tools (for drmdbg + freeme2). You may wanna write other instructions that will use them. Althouth they will be pretty short :)

Thanks. I modified the instructions to reflect this. However, I left a (very simple) step out because I included a modified drmdbg.ini file with one setting disabled. (MakeDRM2Dir)

I'll quote my post here.

http://sharebee.com/e3c050a0

Okay, I modified the instructions to reflect the simpler method of using these tools. I actually left a modified version of "drmdbg.ini" in the folder that has NO PATHS. Instead, it just switched to "MakeDRM2Dir" value "0". This will prevent it from creating a DRM2 folder with the DRM2.key file inside. Instead, it simply creates DRM2.key inside the base directory.

As always, don't forget to scan for viruses.
Instructions only... (I can't edit them into the first post because they're so different.)

Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg and FreeMe2:
  1. Individualize your computer at:
    http://services.wmdrm.windowsmedia.c...en/indivit.asp
  2. Put the DRM-protected file into the DRM Removal Kit directory.
  3. Open up drmdbg.exe, then open up drmdbg.ini created in the "DRM Removal Kit" directory.

    Notes
    • The path and number of the Individualization keys may vary, but these are the usual locations.
    • The files may be located on a different drive. They should be installed on your main system drive by default, so replace "C" with your main system drive letter.

    Notes
    • "[Insert Key Path Here] v11.0.6000.7000" should be displayed in the box beside "MultiScan". (With the proper key path inserted, of course)
    • Windows Media Player should open, regardless of whether the keys loaded or not.
  6. Press MultiScan after the keys are loaded. (First Note in Step 5)
    Note: The DRM-protected media file will be opened in Windows Media Player and its path will be shown in the box above the "Clear" buton in drmdbg.
  7. Take the necessary steps to play the media (validate the license).
  8. Once the media starts playing and "DRM2.key" appears in the directory, you can close Windows Media Player and drmdbg.
    Note: The keys should also be displayed in the box to the left of the "Clear" button.
  9. Drag the DRM-protected file onto FreeMe2.
    Note: The keys will auto-load from DRM2.key!
  10. Enjoy the DRM-free content!

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
Hello, I got here by googling "unprotect drm wmv", because I have some movies that I had bought a "lifetime" license to use, but then, the company did something to make the license not able to validate, so I can't watch them.

I thought that the process you described here would enable me to make them so that the drm license check would simply not occur, but I think I now understand that I have to have a valid license to enable the process to run, and show me the "key", which I can then paste into the prompt in the Freeme2.bat script. So, it's kind of a catch-22. I can remove the DRM check if I can first pass the DRM check, right? So, it looks like I'm still not going to get past that.

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
Mac2492- I followed your instructions but could not get the "DRM2.key." This may be stupid question but what am I supposed to put in the "DRM2 DIR" box? Is that my problem? here a a couple of key facts:

1. My system is Individualized

2. My paths are as follows in the drmdbg.ini (And i did check this using show hidden folders and files):
Code:
[IndivBoxKey]
path=C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\Cache\Indiv01.key
[drmv2clt]
path=C:\WINDOWS\system32\drmv2clt.dll
3. The top box shows up with my path and "v11.0.6000.7000"

4. my WMV DIR points to the folder containing the drm locked music

5. when i hit multiscan the box above the clear button fills in with the song but the box to the left of the clear box remains blank.

6. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

7. I have read through several forum threads but have not figured it out yet...

You need a valid license to play the file, but you don't need to enter it into any DRM removal software. Just make sure you can play the file, 'coz it is a must have before unprotecting media files.

The "DRM2 DIR" option simply lets you choose where "DRM2.key" will be created. Preferably, you should set it to a place that you can find. (Otherwise, you won't be able to find DRM2.key. >,<)

By default, it is set to to folder that drmdbg is located. Also, the option to create a separate folder for the "DRM2.key" is enabled by default. Let's say that drmdbg is located in C:\drmdbg. By default, the DRM2.key file would go inside C:\drmdbg\DRM2\DRM2.key.

In the "simplified kit", I made a very simple adjustment to the ini file that disabled the "Create DRM2 Dir" option by default. Thus, the key would simply appear in the same folder as drmdbg.

If the file isn't being created at all, then the problem might be that drmdbg just isn't finding the keys. (Which is why it doesn't export anything...)



As for your problem... Some people have been reporting that Yahoo! Music isn't working with drmdbg. One user reported that FairUse4WM 1.3 works for some reason.

Do you use Yahoo! Music?

I havn'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 you

except I use BBC iPlayer and my path is
Code:
[IndivBoxKey]
path=C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\Cache\Indiv02.key
the top box shows up my path but hitting multiscan still doesnt 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?

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
Hey guys

Im having trouble playing some movies I got that are .wmv or protected.

Im following Mac2492's instructions but I cant seem to find the individualization key on my computer.

Ive unchecked the "Hide protected operating system files" in the control panel but still cant seem to find it anywhere.

Is there any other locations I should look or isnt the file being created on my computer?

Im running Windows XP.

EDIT:
Its putting in a directory path for the individualization key in the box next to Multi scan, that I dont think exists. Then when i go to play the movie I get an error from drmdbg saying "ReadProcessMemory_error". Is this cause I cant find the individualization key?

Thanks Gizza

Gizza, have you individualized your system?

If not, start your Internet Explorer and navigate to services.wmdrm.windowsmedia.com/indivSite/en/indivit.asp.

Gizza 02-09-2008 12:59 AM

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
Yes I have, did it twice to be sure and even restarted my computer.

EDIT:
Just to be clear, how long does it take to individualize? I click upgrade and it says:
Progress Status: Upgrading Security Components...

It says that for about 3 secs then goes to

Progress Status:The security components have been upgraded successfully. To play protected files, restart your digital media player. If you cannot play protected files after restarting your digital media player, restart your computer.

Is the DRM folder ment to be created in the All Users folder once its finished? Cause its still not there

Ok, after searching the net and reading similar problems I found my DRM folder.

However its hidden, so the only way I can get to it is by using the address bar.

The folder and all files in it are hidden... No idea why, I have show Hidden files and folders selected in the folder option yet I still cant see this folder and its files...

Any ideas?

Hello,

I believe I am having the same problem as two other posters. I am trying to strip drm from a BBC wmv downloaded into iplayer. Your instructions seem to be very clear and I believe I have followed them. When I run drmdbg I do not get a drm folder created nor do I get a .key file created in the folder which contains drmdbg. I have pasted some screen shots into a Word document and hope they will enable you to either confirm what I have done is right or demonstrate what a twat I am (I'll happily be a twat if it leads to a solution). You can get the Word file from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?bzzl4c04mjs

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. The screen shots show that I have copied the original downloaded wmv and renamed it copy.wmv but since that I have also tried it with the original file but with no success.

Many thanks.

[edit]

I've checked and can confirm that drmv2clt.dll exists in C:\WINDOWS\system32\

I've done a search of the hard disk for *.key and nothing is found.

Hello
I have totaly same problem as the roadcone and many others.

I know how the process should work becouse IT DOES work in my XP instalation but not with Vista Ultimate.

They key is loaded to drmdbg and WMP is loaded (version of WMP is 11.0.6000.6344 and key version is 11.0.6000.7000) but after attemp to multiscan it simply opens only 1st file in scanned firectory and WMP starts to play it.

Anybody has idea how to solve it?

thanks for all the work guys!

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
I have encountered a few problems and I was wondering if anyone could give some assistance. I am running Vista and I have located and specified the paths of the key and the dll file. When I open the debugger the Windows Media player does open. I put my protected file into the drm removal kit directory and I use this same directory as my WMV directory. I also have my DRM2 directory set to save files into the drm removal kit directory. The problem I am having is that after I have done all of this, the keys do not seem to be loading. I have tried hitting the Multi Scan button even though the keys do not properly load. When I do this the file does begin to play, but the drm2 directory and drm2.key file iis not created. If anyone could give some advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
I've tried to use previous versions of drmdbg without luck

I kept getting "VirtualAllocEx error" when I opened the program

I downloaded the latest version to give it another shot and after messing around with it I was eventually able to have drmdbg find my.key and the .dll file. Then it would pop up with with an error saying WMP and some weird characters...I assume that meant it wasn't able to load WMP.

I tried it a few times then I started getting the "VirtualAllocEx error" again

Now I can't get past that.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the version of Vista I'm running.

Anyone had luck with Vista Ultimate in 64 bit mode when running DRMDBG? I'd really like to get this working. I can't find anyone having this problem though.

I took out all that works for me. When I start it back up, it does not show the whole path before the v11.0.6000.7000, it just shows the v11.....

Also it will not make the drm2 file. It will attempt to play file, but the pop up that says License Acquisition is a 404 page.

Its a brand new install, I installed Media Player 9, and copied one drm music file over to it. Any ideas?

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
Well, today is everyones lucky day. I was having the same problem as a few of you in this thread. I had everything set up right, and drmdbg would open windows media player and play the song, but it wouldnt find the key.

I read in another thread that while the song is playing you right click on it and go to find album info, and it would freeze and you would find the sid. I tried this and absolutely nothing happened when I clicked on find album info (this is the case of all of my songs for some reason).

So I did some messing around and found that if you right click and go to properties, then click on the media usage rights tab, it will freeze windows media player. After it freezes, the sid shows up in drmdbg, and the key file is created.

The person who posted the find album info method only said that the sid would be in the box, so I assumed that a new window would open showing the sid and other info. This is not the case, he meant the bottom box of drmdbg.

So the method is:
  1. put track in drm removal kit folder
  2. open drmdbg and click multiscan. The song will start playing, but you wont get a key or sid.
  3. Go to now playing in windows media player (easiest way to find the song.)
  4. Right click on the song and go to properties.
  5. Click on the media usage rights tab
  6. Windows Media Player will freeze (stop responding) and close.
  7. The sid shows up in the bottom box of drmdbg and the key file shows up in the drm removal kit folder.
The only problem with this is that you can't use any of the automatic methods to do multiple files at one time.

One little change..


 
Okay after 2 hours of clicking on DRMDBG over and over after having modified the ini file I came up with a solution that worked immediately! :)
Original:
(on Windows XP) INTO
Code:

[IndivBoxKey]
path=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\Indiv01.key
[drmv2clt]
path=C:\WINDOWS\system32\drmv2clt.dll

Change:
(on Windows XP) INTO
Code:

[IndivBoxKey]
path="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\Indiv01.key"
[drmv2clt]
path=C:\WINDOWS\system32\drmv2clt.dll

Those quotes made it so that my DRMDBG actually pics up the IBX info when it starts up!:p

Good luck!:D

I had the same problem and finally got it fixed.

I'm using Vista.

Goto C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM and delete all of the contents.

Goto your drmdbg folder and delete drmdbg.ini.

Play the movie your having problems with. Media Player should install a new license file. Close Media Player.

Fire up drmdbg and hit the Multiscan folder. (Make sure your video is in the same folder first)

Double click the video in the list if it doesn't start automatically and BANG....you're fixed.

This worked for me. SWEET!

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
This stuff seemed perfect until it simply stops processing my wmv file right in the middle...

I have a movie file of 1.2GB.
I got the drm2.key perfectly with drmdbg, I started the latest version of freeme2 (0.4)
after 435MB of freed data, I got a memory allocation error !
"memory allocation failed in handle_copy"
My HD has 2GB place left, and I have a 1GB RAM, running windows XP SP3.

Any help regarding this issue?
Thanks!
Bill

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
I have a problem. I use FreeMe2 0.4+drmdbg. I have Windows Media Player is 9.00.00.3250, Indivbox.key 10.0.0.3646, Windows XP SP2.

When I start drmdbg (with edited .ini), WMP starts too and goes to the Internet to download the license. But I have the license files in DRM folder already.

drmdbg doesn't extract SID code for my .wma.

Freeme writes the following:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\master>"C:\Documents and Settings\drm removal kit\Free
Me2.bat"\..\FreeMe2 -vs2 "C:\Documents and Settings\drm removal kit\1. Stand.wma"
Found DRMv2 header object.
Found KID (MmxU3kJAX0OK21QU++irFQ==)
Found DRMv1 header object.
Starting to look for license.
Enter SID for this file:
Please, help with my problem.

Do you allow WMP to get the license from the Internet? If WMP tries to get a license, then it is really needed to play the file. If you can't play the file, you won't be able to remove DRM.

Sometimes when you go to Media Usage Rights, the song doesn't switch, and the box in drmdbg does not fill in.

How to fix this:
if you move the song it gets stuck on out of the DRM2 folder, and into the DRM_Removal folder (next to drmdbg.exe), and hit MultiScan, then it should to work.

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
OK, so i was having problems. It just wasn't populating the sid know it is. Well it is about 50/50. But I put the drm2.key in the same folder as freeme but it still asks for the sid to be inputed.

Anyone have any ides


*Note* I was running some test and I noticed that if I successfullt have gotten the sid once it wont do it again. Even if I delete the original files and redo it all over again. Any ideas on this.

Thanks Ninrocket!!
Cleaning the DRM folder did the trick for me!
drmdbg finally works and it works like a charm.

Re: HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Pla


 
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
