Can I use Silverlight with Windows Media DRM 10 (WMDRM10)?


Please help me with the following:

Silverlight supports playback of WMDRM 10 and PlayReady-encrypted content. For protecting live and on-demand IIS7 Smooth Streaming content, only PlayReady encryption is supported.

Can Silverlight play back Windows Media DRM-encrypted content with licenses issued by Windows Media Rights Manager servers?

No. Silverlight will only decrypt content with licenses issued by the PlayReady Server SDK. To maximize performance – both over the network, and in terms of minimizing the size and complexity of the plug-in itself, Silverlight DRM only has support for processing the new PlayReady license format. A consequence of this is that a PlayReady license server is needed to deliver all licenses to the Silverlight plug-in regardless of whether the content is encrypted using WM DRM or PlayReady.

Compatible with Windows Media DRM 10

Silverlight DRM allows content owners to deliver their protected content using either legacy WMDRM10 or new PlayReady encryption. This enables content owners to deliver existing libraries of WMDRM10 content to Silverlight without having to re-encrypt anything and means that the same protected content can be played back in both Silverlight and Windows Media based-clients.
Does it mean that I can use Silverlight with Windows Media DRM 10, but I can't protect live as well as on-demand streams if I use it?
