Re: FairUse4WM Error: filename.wmv does not appear to be licensed to you

The solution to this is let FairUse4WM use the license instead of Media Player by acquiring but not playing the file.
  • Set your media player to ALWAYS PROMPT before acquiring a license. You should have this as your common setting anyway, because it will save you from folks using the DRM URL to deliver IE Exploits.
  • Open the file in Media Player and acquire the license, but DON'T click play
  • While the dialog is open you should be able to use FairUse4WM on that file. You can also exit Media Player (Click close) and collect licenses for
    multiple files.

A future version of FairUse4WM will probably include code to request the licenses from the server -- especially if anyone happens to be handy with
Wireshark and a debugger (The IBX encrypts part of the string with the server's public key - you'd need to "fix" that or otherwise extract the temporary key it creates).

I have more than 100 files all under the same "one play" license. Do I have to repeat the three steps for all one hundred files? If so, is there any easier method? For example, performing steps 1 and 2 and then finding all the required files in one go?
