Hi,
Two weeks ago I posted the problem below in the newsgroep
microsoft.public.multimedia.windows.mediaplayer but no reaction at all.
Can you help me?

Whern I try to play a WMV file with DRM rights, I get the error "Unable
to Validate License Information. Please try again later." I downloaded
the file from Microsoft itself, so why I don't get a license?
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/content_provider/film/ContentShowcase.aspx
(Problems: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Dawn of the Dead)

I tried several things already:
- try to play it on different times since 3 days
- downgraded to WMP 9 (same error)
- in the errorbox at the top it says 1.licenseserver.com. I clicked it,
imported a certificate, nothing
- searched all google...

Can anybody help me to play these wonderfull files?
Thanks in advance!

Well, just a little: It was heard that WMP9 requires IE as its licence
validation code base. In one case the user had 'removed' IE and was using
Firefox. WMP ignored FF and failed to validate as IE was not functional.
Otherwise, no other clues.
