WMRMKeys.GenerateSeed

The GenerateSeed method creates a random license key seed.

Syntax

String = WMRMKeys.GenerateSeed()

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, it returns a String containing the license key seed. If it fails, it returns a number in the error object.

Remarks

It is strongly recommended that you use this method to create license key seeds. The license key seed is a shared secret between the content packager and Windows Media License Service, and is a string of 40 random alpha-numeric characters. Because you can supply a seed that is different from the license key seed created by using this method, the GenerateSeed method is provided only for your convenience.

Example Code

' Declare variables and objects.

    Dim sSeed
    Dim KeysObj

' Create objects.

    Set KeysObj = Server.CreateObject("Wmrmobjs.WMRMKeys")

' Create the license key seed and store it securely.

    sSeed = KeysObj.GenerateSeed()

Requirements

Version: Windows Media Rights Manager 7 SDK or later

Reference: wmrmobjs 1.0 Type Library
