SUMMARY
Some secure files you download may be locked with Microsoft Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology, and you cannot play or open these files until you obtain the appropriate license. This article describes how to download secure music and content from the Internet that is encoded with DRM technology.



MORE INFORMATION
To download secure music and content from the Internet that is encoded with DRM technology:
 * 1) Locate and download the file.
 * 2) The first time you try to play the file, you may be asked to register the file or music. Connect to the Internet, and when your Web browser locates the music registration Web site, provide the required information. After you do so, a software "key" is provided to unlock the encryption, and this permits you to play the content on your computer.
