DRM Identifier Updates

Windows Media Player uses a system called digital rights management (DRM) to protect certain types of media files that are played in the Media Player. Examples of DRM-protected files include songs taken from a music CD or video clips downloaded from the Internet.

Occasionally, it may be necessary to update the DRM Identifier - the part of the DRM security software that verifies the DRM license on the media you are playing, to ensure that you will be able to play more recently created DRM-protected media. Fortunately, Microsoft has created a webpage that will do this for you automatically.

Step 1: Start up your preferred web browser and navigate to the Microsoft Security Component update page.

Step 2: Click the "Upgrade" button to start the automatic upgrade process.

Step 3: Restart your computer once the process has finished to complete the update of your DRM Identifier.

Furthermore, there is another way to play DRM protected files, no need to update DRM Identifier: Using DRM Removal software.
