Restore your Backup Licences

If you have backed up licences in Windows Media Player, you should restore them. To do this simply:

Go to Tools

Then click 'Manage Licences'

Then click 'Restore Now'

Now try playing the file again.

Other Ways to retrieve licences

Licence for a file on a CD

Rip the CD back onto the computer using Windows Media Player

Licence for a file from the internet
