SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series, you have set the BeginDate value or the ExpirationDate value on a Windows Media content file.

If you also set the PlayCount right, the string may appear similar to the following on the License tab in the Properties dialog box:

s play(s) remaining

If you also set the BurnToCDCount right, the string may appear similar to the following:

s copy(s) to CD remaining



CAUSE
Windows Media Player is loading the string from a resource file in a way that prevents the string formatting value from being substituted correctly.



WORKAROUND
If you do not specify the ExpirationDate value or the BeginDate value, the other strings appear correctly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



MORE INFORMATION
This bug affects only the way that the player displays the strings in the UI. It does not affect the Digital Rights Management (DRM) rights of the content file.
