WMRMRights.MinimumAppSecurity

The MinimumAppSecurity property specifies and retrieves the minimum security level that a player must have to use the content.

This right has been deprecated and replaced by MinimumSecurityLevel.

Syntax

WMRMRights.MinimumAppSecurity = DWORD
DWORD = WMRMRights.MinimumAppSecurity

Parameters

This property takes no parameters.

Return Values

If the property succeeds, it returns a DWORD containing the security level. If it fails, it returns E_FAIL, 0x80004005.

Remarks

When a consumer tries to play a packaged file, the minimum application security level specified in the license is compared to the application security level of the player or portable device. The result determines whether the Windows Media file can be played. When specifying a minimum security level for your Windows Media files, consider whether you want your Windows Media files to be available to a wide market (require a low security level) or whether you want to restrict playback of your Windows Media files to very secure players and portable devices (require a higher security level).

The following table shows examples of application security levels for different players and portable devices.

Security level Players and portable devices Example

Example Code

' Before you can issue a license, you must specify the consumer's
' rights and set them in the WMRMLicGen object.

' Declare objects.
    Dim sRights
    Dim RightsObj
    Dim LicGenObj

' Create objects.
    Set RightsObj = Server.CreateObject("Wmrmobjs.WMRMRights")
    Set LicGenObj = Server.CreateObject("Wmrmobjs.WMRMLicGen")

' Reset the WMRMRights object.
    RightsObj.Reset()

' Specify the rights that will be granted to the consumer.
    RightsObj.MinimumAppSecurity = 1000
    RightsObj.AllowBackupRestore = True
    RightsObj.AllowPlay = True
    RightsObj.BeginDate = "#20050101Z#"
    RightsObj.ExpirationDate = "#20051231Z#"
    RightsObj.DisableOnClockRollback = True

' Retrieve the string containing the rights.
    sRights = RightsObj.GetAllRights()

' Set the rights in the license generator.
    LicGenObj.Rights = sRights

' Continue the license issuing process.
